Free Agency Day 1 Reaction: PG To 76ers, CP3 To Spurs & More! | The Hoop Collective 

😂😂😂good one

😂

Not to mention their postseason history

Embiid has a 65 game max and rest for the remainder

That’s funny! Lol

Also left a point guard who dominated the ball & was hard to vibe with. PG on the wing takes alot of that responsibility away from Embiid. IMO, a big part of Embiids issue was that in addition to inside play, he had to take on the role of a perimeter scorer/ creator, which stressed his frame. He won’t need to do that as much as. Also having a legit big to spell him helps

He got his money young lost buck

At least Embiid normally plays in the playoffs. as much as we love shutting on him that’s an upgrade from Kawhi who misses the playoffs about 60% of the time

He had no choice. They wouldn't let him go to the warriors

What were his options? No one else had the 4yr money he wanted.

Most people do

he comes off as such a know it all

What big 3 is better

​@kraw3026 none but I still see them as the 7th best team at best they only have 3 good players and if 1 gets hurt it's over

@@themodernmale_ thats now what he said

In that regard, magic might have been better

Injury St☆r 🎉 Swap for Curious George- Come Fly with Me Kawhi to Cryin' Embid 😢😢😢😢😢😢😢

Exactly why I’m here lol what’s up with cp3

Dude is a moron he voted for Brown for Finals MVP based on some highlight steals.

Nah, stay away from crack bro. That ish will ruin your life

What big 3 is better

@@kraw3026Knicks in 5

hes from ny lmao you really said boston w confidence

He is a known Celtics hater

lets not forget the voice

Love how he calls out ESPN’s almost contractual obligation to have their employees wax poetic on the Lakers at every given opportunity. 😂 I’ve never listened to a hoop collective podcast that did not mention LeBron or the Lakers. Ever.

@@LanZhansWeiYing Why wouldn't they mention the most popular franchise and the most popular player? People tune in to watch about them, whether to glaze or to hate, they tune in

Being 40 and wearing a backwards hat. Yikes

Not as bad as kawhi. Kawhi might just need to actually retire

Who is better? MVP candidate and 2 all stars? Injuries will be a problem but healthy not sure how they aren’t

Not really

If all healthy, the fit and the talent, no it’s not crazy at all

Tatum brown white head shoulder above

@@tent21 as a BIG 3, Suns, Boston, etc could give you a run for your money. If you want to take health out of the matter, I’d say Boston plays better together with Tatum, Brown, and Porzingis but overall talent I’d argue Pheonix, KD and Booker are top 12 if not better and Beal is an all star caliber player when healthy.

That's what happens when you work with bontemps lol

That ozempic is starting to take effects. You lose “weight” not just fat. Lots of devastating negative consequences.

Leave windy alone that’s my guy

Hes prob running high on caffeine.this dude has to be right next to his phone all night

@@CoachTC23that’s awesome

WILD!!! They are not better than Jaylen/Jason/Porginzgus. To be honest you can replace Kristaps with White or Holiday and they still would be the best big three.

Celtics have a big 5 team is stacked

Because no one takes the magic seriously

Agree 100% Magik really close to serious Contender and PG impactful Vet

They would have been looking to him to be a leader and a solid 2nd option, he didn’t really want that. He’s getting max money to be a third option, yeah he’ll have some pressure, but he’ll be third in the pecking order getting easy baskets off Maxey and Joel whenever he’s around

That Second Apron is the real deal. Pelicans still dont have a Center. Nuggets have taken a step back as well.

What did Boston do?

@@jamesonedwardsii4943Derrick white signed for 4 more years and Celtics still have best roster in NBA

@@jamesonedwardsii4943 just bought back everybody they just won a chip with

How did the west get weaker when the clippers warriors, and lakers were non factors to begin with?

Can you name another big 3 Boston got two Lakers got two Nuggets got two Bucks got two

​@dannyhinton6140 Boston can easily have 3 but it works better with 2 and KP taking more of a back seat Phoenix have 3. KD and Booker are top 15 players and Beal can play at a tier below all star calibre.

​@@dannyhinton6140 I think boston got a big 3: JT, JB, KP/Jrue. And the Suns still have a somewhat "Big 3" 😅

We ll see ,,but we all know EB had MVP before he got hurt ,, now we have 3 monsters 😂

​@@dannyhinton6140LA😂,,No ,, philly now 😅

Midnight west coast. It's not outrageous lol

Insane?

Lol they just decided to release that info at that time they been knew where he was going but they make the masses think its a decision to make lmao yall gta realize how the elites work. They had pg going to Philadelphia months ago😂

Remains to be seen provided that the East remains healthy. Their East run is predicated on the injury of opponents. Would love to see everyone healthy this year and see how the C's fair against everyone else.

When was the last time a team went back to back?

@@carladavis1473 Happened the last time the champs were historically dominant (17-18 GSW). Celtics were historically dominant last season.

​@gerardrazulcarim4922 historical lyrics dominant against Injured teams bro..I really don't think boston beats a healthy miami..it's something about Miami that boston fold up on

@@stax5ave380 Dominant in regular season, not just in the playoffs. Butler was healthy when they faced in regular season, and Celtics blew them out. But sure, you're entitled to what you think.

yea hes crazy

💩

He apologized for this at 13:49

why would the lakers want to focus on developing young guys when they still have lebron on the roster?

They blazed through injured teams..they barely beat an injured pacer squad

they probably aren't tbh. Outside the top 4 guys, their roster is literal garbage now. Top 5 team now are probably celtics, knicks, okc, dallas, minni (no particular order but minni at the bottom of the list). You could argue denver over minni but considering denver lost to minni with KCP playing, now they lose KCP for nothing and minni stays the same...its a tough argument.

EXACTLY!! THANK YOU!! 💯

It's embarassing a middle aged man is wearing a cap like that

@@kenny2553 it’s embarrassing you think age determines hat direction 🤣

Depends on wemby. He's already stated in many interviews he's highly motivated to win games and wants to compete in playoffs every year. He probably does not have the mentality of a player who is willing to be bad for yet another year or more just to gamble on some draft picks who will themselves need years to develop into high level contributors. Also wemby is already good enough to compete in the playoffs. He's a lot like shaq when he entered the league in that regard. Magic went to nba finals in shaq's third year. Wemby can do the same with spurs, he just needs the talent and veterans around him asap. Getting cp3 was a decent first step, although I woulda preferred trae at pg. Lauri is certainly interesting as well, depending on the assets needed to land him.

@@mambaASI The thing is. He never said that. They asked him if he wants to win more. He said Yes. Not "rush the rebuild asap" and their actions show it. They just rented CP3 for one season, so he doesn't disturb the rebuild

@@blablablaa14 that's fair, he never said to rush the rebuild. But he's made it clear he's a winning type of player. I really doubt he has it in him to be part of a lottery team for another season, maybe even more if spurs really try to tank it up for the rebuild. Especially given that his rival chet is on a legit title contending team already. If my rival was having that kind of success while I'm basically a bottom feeder knowing that I can be doing so much more, that would get to me. Can't imagine how a serious competitor like wemby would feel. Time will tell if and how his public words change on the rebuild issue

@@mambaASI Its not taking if you don't trade all your assets for a quick few wins. Its rebuilding. Wemby has it in him to be whatever will be needed. He knows he wont win a title every year. He's also smart enough to understand when they tell him "Hi the next draft is going to be insanely strong, we will keep our money and assets strong for another year, and by 2025 we will have such an amazing roster, we will be great for a decade straight instead of 2-3 years and then flame out". Most big trades fail, Wemby is smart enough to understand. Its not like Wemby has any options. Every rookie signs the first max contract, which means he's a Spurs for another 7 years. And don't forget that Wemby was a Spurs fan growing up. He is not leaving the Spurs or getting mad. That's just narrative from a media upset they have to talk about San Antonio and not the Lakers/Knicks/Warriors for once. Also Wemby isn't envious of Chet who is not his rival. He's the pushover Wemby demolishes regularly. And the third best player on his team at best. He's not Wemby level and Wemby has shown that so much. They aren't a comparison anymore. Chet just a role player

Theyre going to be dumping $50 mil a year for a player in his late 30’s that’s basically Tobias Harris Sr. 😅

My rebuttal is WHY ARE YUH SHOCKED? Mi speaking from a PRODUCER, BLESSED WRITER WITH OVER A 100K SONGS WRITTEN AND TONS OF MUSIC OUT PERSPECTIVE! - Its the same thing that's HAPPENING IN MUSIC WITH DIGITAL STREAMING! When di FANS ALLOWED RECORD LABLES to keep REAL CREATIVE ARTISTS WITH REAL TALENT AND PASSION, on di shelves, and fuk dem outta money and constantly keep dem in a RECOUPING ENVIRONMENT OR ALWAYS HAVING TO PAY BACK LOANS- Now di big conglomerate companies like 'SPOTIFY, APPLE MUSIC' and other have just taking over what di record companies were doing to artists. NOW DEM PAYING ARTISTS PENNIES FOR A STREAM. FANS WOULD RATHER PAY SPOTIFY WHO IS ALREADY A 'MULTI BILLION DOLLAR ENTITY' 'A MONTHLY SUBSCRIPTION' for their favorite artists music/catalogue...,INSTEAD OF PAYING A LITTLE MONEY TO THAT ARTIST DIRECTLY TO BE ABLE TO HAVE AT LEAST A LIVABLE WAGE, EAT AND FEED THEIR FAMILIES! SO THE FREE AGENCY IN BASKETBALL IS NOT JUST AN ISOLATED TANGENT. This will be happening in ALL FACETS OF ALL INDUSTRIES UNTIL THE CONSUMERS STEP UP AND SAY, 'ENOUGH IS ENOUGH!' Now STREAMING COMPANIES ARE DICTATING AND ARTISTS WORTH AND VALUE OF THEIR ART WORTH! I did a song called 'F.U.S.A.M.!'- Its acronym for more sinister plot thats going on right under consumers noses! I labeled it 'FUSAM' because i studied ALGORITHMS FOR FOUR LONG YEARS POST PANDEMIC! Sometimes sitting in front of my desktop or lap top FOR 24 HOURS STRAIGHT 'NO HYPERBOLE,' and going on STREAMING SITES LIKE 'SPOTIFY' and i found out ARTISTS ARE BEING CHEATED OUT OF THEIR STREAMS! To bring up what you stated ONLY THE TOP 10-15 GUYS WILL BE GETTING PAID! On that same tangent, only di [TOP 500 MAINSTREAM ARTISTS] WILL BE GETTING PAID AS WELL! This is the LYFE AND TYMES WE LIVE IN! When di FANS DON'T GO TO BAT FOR DI ARTISTS OR ATHLETES, THIS IS WHAT YUH GIT- A WATERED DOWN FREE AGENCY OR A WATER DOWN MONOTONOUS MUSIC INDUSTRY! Artists would be pissed to know what i find out! However...., the sad thing is 98% of di artists DON'T WATCH OR MONITOR THEIR OWN STREAMS. They intrust that the LABLES OR DIGITAL STREAMING SERVICES WILL DO THAT FAIRLY AND OPERATE WITH A CODE OF ETHICS AND REPORT NUMBERS ACCURATELY....NOPE! For anybody who does NOT LOOK AT THINGS DEEPER THEN WHATS ON DI SURFACE- For anybody saying "MUSIC AND SPORTS is NOT RELEVANT" in this particular situation...YOU'RE WRONG! EVERYTHING NOW IS ALL ABOUT ENTERTAINMENT AND NUTTEN ELSE! This is one of di things that di 'GLOBAL ELITES' implemented wit di DI PANDEMIC! DI GLOBAL RESET!...DI GLOBAL RESET IN ALL INDUSTRIES SPORTS, MUSIC etc....Everybody thought tis was just "ABOUT A PANDEMIC VIRUS CALLED COVID", NOPE! ITS MUCH MUCH DEEPER AND SINISTER! Yuh know it is because, when mi try to make people aware of it on other GLOBAL SOCIAL MEDIA PLATFORMS, the POSTS ARE EITHER SHADOW BANNED, OR NOT GIVING MUCH JUICE IN THE ALGORITHMS! Big ups for your comment and mi hope more people realize what yuh said was poignant and a big concern! THNGS GOING FORWARD ARE CHANGING IN DI NBA FAR AS FREE AGENCY AND MI SURE OTHER SPORTS WILL FOLLOW SUIT! Blessings and nuff rispek IRIE-

The dame trade will play out this year as he has a full off-season prep.

HAte on him? ... he 10000% deserves it. He flops around gettitng unethical hoops all regular season and never shows up playoffs. He DESERVES MORE HATE

Pour out a Shirley temple for your boy

Are you seriously that delusional??!! Why the HELL would GS want to keep CP3?!! And why the HELL would we want Drummond?!! 😂😂😂 Klay might be passed his prime now and not the same Klay anymore, but he sure as hell is better than those two!!

OKC and Wolves clear.

Are we losing Hartenstein at the cost of Bridges? 16:16

😂

No, he just really knows his stuff....
