Can the 76ers’ new trio prove a BIG 3 still works? First Take debates 

No....🤡🤡🤡🤡

You not wrong either

exactly. anyone who has watched basketball closely in the last 7-10 years knows Embum & Chokejob P are always "hurt" during the playoffs & never come thru in big moments

Most likely

Screenshot this comment please because it’s definitely going to happen

Windy's Disney remote studio pack slightly faded tho lol

76s shoulda chose Jimmy butler and they mightve had better than a 2nd round exit at best in the last 4 years

Yo that killed me & perk! 😭 I kno the ppl in philly liked that cuz harris ain't do nun all those years.

Nasty work😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

@@SsjRedneck

​@@SsjRedneck all I think of when I hear his name is: "Tobias Harris over me!" Ludicrous

True

That’s because he hasn’t had a real backup center only once in his career

George is in the exact same situation.

They need to minimize his minutes and only play him 65 games

Embum is always overweight & psychologically weak --- there are no ifs about him at all, at this point... Embum is who he is

Shame realty 😢

Every excuse for embiid. Jokic carries around the equivalent of Tobias, Michael Porter Jr

i feel like this happens because most players and teams are hyped by media and people on social media, meanwhile there are really a few guys that are the guy like doncic, jokic, or gianiss. the rest of players will not have a chance against them unless you build a super team, and sixers definitely wouldnt. And see how milwakee and denver each year are going worse as teams

Paul George will be 38 at the end of this deal. He will get a 2 or 3 year deal after this deal & then retire

@@javiersanchez5431 The problem is teams are no longer allowed to build chemistry. If things don't work out in 1-2 years, players move on. The Celtics worked because they were patient and built from the ground up, as did the Warriors.

Facts

@@TeeJohnson-bv1mj PG might just be done after this deal... If he plays after age 38 he's gonna be end of career Melo ... some 15 minute vet presence that comes off bench to pop a few 3's

34*

​@@TeeJohnson-bv1mjhe ain't no lebron 😂

​@damienkun8786 and? He doesn't need to be. In 3 or 4 years him and embiid will be out of their primes and we will move in with maxey

@@Bentley7Cruize tf u talking about PG is past his prime.

Do you even watch basketball??? 😂😂 Say what you will about pg but he is still a top 5 two way player who doesn't have to play Robin to a batman anymore at this stage of his career he can be that all star 3rd option and just play his game now.. y'all really sleeping on PG 13

Right? Analysts are delusional 😂

Guys like Paul George can fit any team or system, so a take like that is low hanging fruit for these analysts

@@daveczarnik6017no, you’re delusional. You’re a casual fan, and thats fine. Its not hard at all to understand why pg COULD work before seeing it. Will it actually? We shall see.

@@reem9317 Exactly. That's what they mean when they say, "on paper."... On paper, PG and Embiid are a good fit, but whether they actually will be, we will find out in the regular season and playoffs.

@@mangesh9034305 precisely. Health will be the biggest factor in this team.

Would you go all out 100% with the likes of Ka Why Lennid as your co star? He was never available. I would do the same, do just enough but keep what you can for the future elsewhere.

that makes him a perfect fit to be on the same team with Embum & Ed from Good Burger

@@JustinChristopher-ov7gwat least that man has rings and PG wasn’t available either oh you must’ve forgot

@@King_Rayy_The_Entertainer Oh no I remember, he has 2, one with the Spurs and one with little Toronto. I remember very well. But that's ancient history. He's a HOFer, but that doesn't negate the fact he wasn't available when PG was there. And if you can't rely on another star, no need to go all out. Only a fool doesn't plan for the future.

Go look at the stats. He is a good player in the playoffs.

Not yet he needs to improve defense and playmaking 25-30 if he repeats last seasons greatness sure

@@user-vv6ot8dn8h he’s not a bad defender at all, now playmaking sure but his defense is pretty good

@@user-vv6ot8dn8h How many defensively inept guards are in your top 10 list? because Maxey is definitely better than Shai aka midrange ft merchant.

Just throwing out about 30 players around the top 30 range. Who would you put Maxey over? jokic, giannis, Luka, curry, embiid, tatum, sga, ant, lebron, kd, kawhi, booker, ad, pg, Ja, Brunson, kyrie, butler, sabonis, wemby, dmitch, Dame, siakam, Haliburton, fox, brown, Kat, Trae, murray, zion, gobert

He’s not even close. He had some explosive games against terrible teams in Embiids absence but when Embiid isn’t on the floor with him the difference is night and day.

2nd fool. Where you get 3rd from? I can tell you Lil mfs don't know basketball

3rd option averaging 23 @ 48% shooting and one of the best 2 way forwards?? 😂 😂

@@JaySavant-00720 Maxey is younger and will get better thsn better , he is the 2nd option.

@@JaySavant-00720PG is def a 3rd option. He’s just a really good. He’s like khris Middleton. Khris is extremely good and effecient, but he’s not a 1st or even second option player. Their both too old to be #1 options but still good enough to be a championship factor

@@JaySavant-00720 that's his stats as 2nd option, now look at him becoming a role player sharing ball with maxey and embid

I agree.

At leaat oubre trys every time on the court tobais was getting Max $ to be a poor catch and shoot 3 and d

​@@SsjRedneckyup he gives effort I hope they keep him as the 2 or off the bench 3 not a 4 tho they need a rebounder stretch type 4 who plays d

Ugh, as a Sixer fan, I’m so happy Tobias is out of Philly

Plus we have the Clippers unprotected pick haha. Which will now probably be a lottery pick.

he gone be by himself come playoff time 😂

He needs to. It’s the 6ers only hope rn.

😂😂 god I hope not. Prolly will be tho lol

realistically, the Celtics have become a big 6. even at 38, Al is in great shape with the no back-2-back game management, as his Finals performances proved. but the distinction here is the Celtics are no longer a 2 All-star headed team plus back-ups. anyone in their starting 5 can go off on any given night, making them almost impossible to guard and prepare for. that was not true of any other team last season, and nothing appears to have changed so far in free agency. other teams are piecing together big 3s that "look good on paper," to face off against a battle tested, big 6, championship team.

Well NYC did give up 5 first round picks for Mikal and they got PG for only the salary so that's a plus.

he's another one of them "what if" players ... a lot like Embiid in some ways. on the one hand, PG has lost in the conference finals 3 times, but on the other, Embiid has an MVP title and twice scoring champion, plus PG is aging out. that's a lot of ca$h for "maybe." it's especially worrying when you have a much younger Celtics team in the same conference, all with finals experience, with their top 8 rotation under contract & ready to run it back! AND a newly revived Knicks team, also all younger and tougher! AND a very young, super-energy Pacers team that now knows they have to figure out their defensive identity. And the Giannis/Lillard combo, a new Magic team, Spo at the Heat, etc., etc.. 2nd place in the EC is gonna be a dog fight, is this 3 gonna give the 76ers an edge? i don't see it... but by December 31st this year we can reevaluate this.

@@felipeb.9321 Well said! Perfect analysis

Straight out of _Jurassic Park_

tf is you even talking about? Mcconnell? like TJ… who has been a Pacer for the last 5 years? I cant rate the input of someone stuck in 2019

Put the drugs down and go sleep it off.

​@@madridforever933what is this man on? 😂 Tj really?

Robbie, Robbie, Robbie….how wrong you are. Lay off the hard stuff bud

Judging by the likes, there’s 6 other ppl who think TJ is a Sixer 😂😂😂

arguably a big 6 ... wait. maybe a big 5 1/2, with Al and KP switching it up to make 1 1/2 😂

Your mom queefing 😂☠️⚰️

Perfect but swap magic and pacers Paulo is finna b a mvp candidate and the Kip addition is huge as they now have a legit 3 and d threat while the pacers were a fluke last season and have not improved in the offseason in any way

Agree 💯

You not a philly fan obviously because absolutely nobody would say "sorry philly it didnt work with harden it wont work in philly" stop lying you geeeeimp

Harden doesn't shoot catch-and-shoot 3s (neither have literally any of the other 2nd or 3rd options that have been brought in except for Maxey). I'll give you one guess what kinds of great shot opportunities playing with an offensively gifted Center creates. Of course it doesn't work when your 2nd and 3rd best players refuse to shoot the open shots that your best player creates for them. This is literally the first time in Embiid's career that won't be a problem.

Not til the Maxey extension

😅😅😅😅😅

What a weird racist thing to say

Absolutely outta pocket and racist statement

@@SsjRedneck more like corner pocket white billionaire owners trading players for picks. Being bought off sounds historical.

@@ratcomedy Comedy??? Your sense of humor must be horrible.

He was right about Tobias but tell me a playoff series PG has shown up since being with the Pacers

@@King_Rayy_The_Entertainer2021 playoffs when he carried the Clippers to their first western conference finals appearance without Kawhi.

@@marcusgarveyhou1877 did he carry you sure! Because I’m a Kawhi fan so I watch the Clippers closely PG had 2 good games that it Reggie Jackson off the bench did more that’s why he got a big contract in Denver

@@marcusgarveyhou1877Going back to 2021 is crazy when they just had a first round exit… with Harden. Where was the carrying of the team in (2024)?

@@camw3382 he did his part. Where was Kawhi and Harden? We know what Harden has been doing his entire career. I’m glad the 🚀 shipped his BA away from here.
