All this to try to beat Jalen Brunson
Mid 3 in PhillyðŸ˜
I’m still liking our chances against them barring any injuries. It would be interesting to see what their bench would be though.
34 😳
Knicks in 5 now
If PG and Embiid manage to stay healthy for playoffs that’s a miracle
This is a good move for them. The certainly lacked shot creation. They have a lot of fire power but we are much deeper than them. Also counting on Embiid and PG to be healthy is no sure thing
Its a good move for them, a bit desperate but they had no choice. As constructed now they probably beat the Knicks they saw in the playoffs, but add in Randle, Mikal, a healthy Mitch…They not seeing us.
😂 😂 😂
When was the last time Paul George was healthy in the playoffs?
Nice pick up. Still not beating the knicksssssdds
Doesn’t matter if it’s PG, Maxey or Embiid…
KNICKS IN 5.
I don’t mind the East getting better. Will be that much sweeter when we win the chip.
good thing it’s not a 3 on 3 tournament.
our 4-8 are mikal bridges, mitch rob, ddv, hart, and deuce.
their 4-8 are kelly oubre, andre drummond, and …?
We got our wing defenders ready to make life a living hell for him
This is a different Eastern Conference you’re coming back to, PG.
Still don’t think they’re better than Knicks and definitely not Boston. I know the money doesn’t work but if he went to Dallas that would’ve probably been more dangerous.
Can’t wait to watch OG make him look like prime Tobias Harris
They’ll be paying 38 year old Paul George $55,000,000.
George is 34. He’s played over 60 games once in the last 5 seasons. I’m not worried.
Maybe Boston will actually have to play a good team in the playoffs next season before we beat them in the ECF
1. Celtics
2. Knicks
3. 76ers
4. Cavaliers
5. Bucks
6. Magic
7. Pacers
8. Heat
We will see them in the second round. Boston will be tough to beat. We need iHart to have a chance
Oh shit Sixers fans are happy about this. Damn. The dude we wanted nothing to do with is another man’s treasure.
Giving a 34 year old injury prone player 200M+ is crazy..definitely makes them better I’m glad we got Mikal but that contract will look bad as he declines
Ladies and gentlemen, this is why we keep Randle, you have him feasting on this teamÂ
Nothing makes me happier than the thought of Philly paying this dude 50mil in a couple years
People here are underestimating them. If Embiid and PG stay healthy, that’s a super dangerous team.
Still doesn’t move the needle enough to bring them to the Knicks and Celtics tier. They’re still in T2 with Milwaukee and Cleveland.
I wonder who will miss more games Mr Floppy or PG
Mikal locking up Maxey and OG’s got PG’s numbers, Knicks in 5
Given their track record and injury history, I feel of all the moves the 6er could’ve made, this is a win now / desperation play and will long term benefit the knicks. In four years, Philly paying a 38 year old geroge a max contract, which will be a real handicap in terms of adding players. Plus, they need to resign Maxey next off-season
Can someone tell me how they can afford 3 max guys and avoid the aprons and hardcapping and still be able to sign other players and field a team?
That’s a lot of money to pay a guy that plays 30 games a year 😂🤣😂
Wow, a signing that ruins both the clippers AND the sixers all at once
He absolutely was elite from three last year and healthy. I can understand why maybe had a looksee at PG. Honesty that’s a solid add for them next season. But I wouldn’t trust his health at all beyond year 2
At least there’s one other team that has a shot at beating the Celtics in the east now. There’s a good chance of Knicks 1st seed and Celtics/sixers 2nd and third
PG and Drummond fixed a lot of their problems from last year
Holy overpay. Much rather have Mikal.
I’m surprise a 34 year old player that isn’t even a Superstar would get that type of contract. Good for him though for locking in those 4years!
Nice to see other teams signing aging superstars to massive contracts. Good luck with that Filly, we will still beat your ass.
I understand that if you’re philly, you only got a couple years left on embiids tires so you might as well go in on this. but Holy fuck they better hope Paul George is the answer because after next season he’s probably a mid end 6th man being paid 50 mil. Father time comes for us all
sixers in win now mode. think many teams view Boston as beatable and therfore things are very open right now
They will be tough for the start of the season. But it’s along season and maxi will be left to do it alone after the All-Star break.
