After last nights fiasco he probably should be in. That second unit with Embiid and maxey off the floor looked like they had no clue what they were doing. Obviously that is also partially pg’s fault since he was the one leading that group pre-suspension.

What do you mean “buried in the rotation?” He was the perfect 6th man for them, on a team that desperately needs depth.

Their best chance to win a title is in the next two years, while Embiid is still good. If they aren’t trying to win now then they might as well trade Maxey and VJ as well, cause the tail end of the Embiid contract is gonna make building a contender impossible

captain_ahabb | Lakers

2 | 3 hours ago

Maxey is 25. Edgecombe is 20.

When Embiid’s extension expires in 2029, Maxey will be 28 and Edgecombe will be 23. Right in their primes (well early prime for VJ).

They could just try to compete now and get playoff experience. Only real competition in the east are Boston without Tatum, Knicks, Pistons (not sure but I think just as young or even younger), maybe Cavs if Harden fits in seamlessly. The best player in the East’s team is a mess. They could still be 4th seed if healthy. Who knows when will Embiid be unavailable again, etc

DaJuggerHobbit | Hawks

5 | 5 hours ago

It’s also arguably the most wide open the East has been or will be in the near future. There’s no telling how long Embiid stays healthy. This may have been their shot. Not going all-in seems indefensible to me.

DaJuggerHobbit | Hawks

Embiid is one of the best players in the league right now. They may not have another shot to win a title any time soon. You don’t get players of his caliber often. To waste what might be his last productive year because you’re worried about a luxury tax is just embarrassing. Pedowner is the worst.

captain_ahabb | Lakers

0 | 4 hours ago

There’s nothing to waste because they have no idea how many games he’s going to play.

You have to operate on the Maxey/Edgecombe timeline now. Anything you get from Embiid is a bonus.

DaJuggerHobbit | Hawks

1 | 4 hours ago

You could use that logic with any athlete in any sport. Right now Embiid is playing out of his mind in an Eastern Conference that has no clear front runner. Making your team worse just to save money when you could be competing is the mark of an awful owner.

captain_ahabb | Lakers

1 | 3 hours ago

Embiid isn’t “any athlete” though.

And they got draft compensation back

MaxPaciorkitty

0 | 3 hours ago

Yes Embiid is indeed playing out of his mind right now, right now… right now. Embiid’s only healthy playoff run ‘ever’ was 2020, when they got swept in the first round. The aprons aren’t just a luxury tax, they restrict what moves organisations can make. Not even necessarily a fan of the trade, but your arguments were a tough read.

DaJuggerHobbit | Hawks

1 | 3 hours ago

How many shots do you legitimately get at chasing a title with a player of Embiid’s caliber? There is no juggernaut in the East blocking them, and anyone can win in a 7 game series. Actively making your current roster worse when you have the talent to chase a ring is garbage. Plain and simple.

Oh, and regarding “making moves”: they didn’t need any more flexibility; they didn’t make any moves. They could have made the same or similar trades in the off season and gotten that same flexibility and have been in the exact same position they are now… except they wouldn’t have made their team worse for the current season. The ONLY benefit they got from dishing McCain now is monetary relief. That’s it.

MaxPaciorkitty

Embiid’s only healthy playoff run (EVER!!!) was 2020, when they got swept in the first round. If you think shipping off mccain’s 6.6ppg on 38.5%fg (for a first and 3 seconds) is making them so demonstrably worse that you’re seeing red, then whatever man.

DaJuggerHobbit | Hawks

Who’s seeing red? Gaslight much?

It was a bad move that made the team worse. Morey himself knows it which is why he’s lying about the 76ers intentions on behalf of his pedowner boss. He’s out here saying they planned more moves for a reason: he knows the McCain trade without any other context is just greed.

Turk1518 | Thunder

Quite literally last night we might have won with McCain on the roster. He comes out and makes 1 3 and that might have pushed us over.

Zeruma_ | 76ers

4 | 5 hours ago

Look McCain had a less than 1/4th a season sample size last year where he looked good. We are currently over 50 games into the season and he’s looked down right awful this year. Yes he’s recovering from an injury but how long is that excuse going to work?

We have seen guys like MCW win RoTY and turn out to not be anything.

junkit33

People definitely got a little over excited about him.

I think he’s a good shooter but not sure what else is really there.

crocofour | 76ers

7 | 4 hours ago

Also a good playmaker, good dribbler and play extender. Actually had some good drives and showed really good balance and strength plus a nice mid range game. At times he was just about the only sixer not named tyrese maxey able to get paint touches. And even when he got more attention (which at that point it was just him and Maxey) he was still getting 20+. Really good potential to be another dho guy with Embiid. I would say his floor is maybe lower than grimes based in athleticism but his ceiling is def higher. Would have loved both since it’s been impossible for the sixers to have good guard depth

Glass-Candle-7670

1 | 4 hours ago

He had two surgeries, one that happened this season on his shooting hand thumb. And despite that, over the last 17 games he’s shooting near 50% from three.

Regardless, I think the sample talk is irrelevant because what he did show was insane creation and shooting, and more importantly comfort level as a guy that can operate both on and off the ball at a high level for such a young player. He looked like an absolutely stud and it all looked natural which is scary. I just don’t understand how you give up on that so quick.

junkit33

Calling him a stud with insane creation is just not accurate. If that were remotely true, there’s no way Philly trades him.

Glass-Candle-7670

He absolutely looked like a stud. His first career start he had 34 points and 10 assists against the unbeaten 14-0 Cavs at the time, and he had a streak of like 8 straight 20+ point games. Its a ridiculous stretch of games for anybody let alone a 20 year old playing his first NBA minutes.

And now the Sixers will never know how long that excuse is needed cuz they traded him right as he was visibly recovering and being given an opportunity to play by PG. MCW couldn’t shoot 3s for shit, McCain at the very least has guaranteed value as an off-ball shooter. Even if this was the highest his trade value will ever be, now they gotta play half their starters 40 minutes for the next 20 games
