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
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
@@tent21 as a BIG 3, Suns, Boston, etc could give you a run for your money.

Denver is definitely a 2nd-tier team now. Orlando got a Championship-level dawg in KCP. Klay is probably better off in Dallas; unless GSW finds a way to trade for Markkanen while keeping Kuminga; hopefully Utah REALLY likes Andrew Wiggins. Killah Klay on that Mavs team is gonna be a great way to wind down his career. He even has a reason to move his boat down with.
@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.
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.
I still feel like Golden State messed up with not properly developing their young talent when they had the chance. How do Poole, Kuminga, Moody and Wiseman not pan out enough for them to be able to move Klay to the 6th man? I know that there are financial aspects but it feels like this has more to do with how they managed Draymond.
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
The bigger question about the Spurs is why would even make a trade that forces them to give up their draft picks just to get a quick run at the playoff, its not like Lauri makes them favorites in the west. The talent in 2025/2026 drafts is insane and they would be much better off being bad this year and trading for Lauri or someone afterward, when they already have more rookies on cheap deals that can grow with Wemby for two decades. A big trade makes zero sense when you can get lucky and have 2 picks in the top 5 of a stacked draft with another 2 picks in the top 20. Thats how you build a team cheaply for many years.
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.

@@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
Georges new contract will pay him ~212m over 4 years. All of his previous contracts over the last 14 years paid him 260mm. Think about that for a bit. I now understand why George did what he did.
Don’t know if Pelinka would play this card, but after drafting Bronny, Pelinka gained a lot of good will with LeBron. One assumes he would be get a bit of latitude from LeBron to focus less on winning now and more on development of the roster, particularly the young guys, especially when one of those young guys is Lebron’s son.
The big story in the NBA is with Clippers and Warriors stepping back, the West got a bit weaker and the East with Boston, Philly and the Knicks solidified have gotten better
bontemps was extra yappy today, you can’t call philly the best big 3 in the nba when they will hardly share the floor together chief - especially when it counts most

Sixers also landed Andre Drummond (backup for Embiid when hurt & mentor Bona) , and Kelly Oubre (Backup for PG) ngl the main problem with that clippers team was depth and now Sixers got some solid pieces even with the big contracts. Maxey , Gordon , PG, ?? , Embiid McCain , Ricky Councils , Oubre, Reed , Drummond / Bona
Whatever Bontemps is, it starts with a$$h0le. 🤣 His two kindly older bros Windy and MacMahon continually foster his cantankerous nature by letting him pop-off whenever the vent blows. He's much more reserved on other shows, with the shorter airtime. This is my favorite pod, hands down!
Paul George upgrades the 76ers, maybe, Nova Knicks are getting better, right, but we forget Boston just won the championship 2 weeks ago and have their top 10 guys under contract through this year. Until one of those top 8-9 guys leaves Boston is the main threat to repeat.
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.

i'm a warriors fan because klay is one of the reasons. i mean, you drafted him to help you put up those banners. but, now, when klay is down, in terms of stats, you can't get him up? well, there's pride in terms of budget. he's one of the reasons why the crying fans are there. i don't think klay is about money. he's about pride. c'mon, don't make him look cheap, it can lowers self-esteem. you know what? you can't buy that. he's priceless.
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.

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😂
What a disgusting 76ers fanboy. A championship "contender" that hasn't been past the second round just added a "superstar" that's not been a superstar for years. Last season was considered one of PGs best and he was like what? The 40th best player in the league? What are the chances he plays 70+ games again? What are the chances Embiid's going to play more than 50 games and not start pointing fingers at everyone else again?
The Lakers were 12 games above 500 last season . Characterizing them as not good is patently false . Would done much better if not for a self-sabotaging coach .
I said it when the players signed this new CBA and I'm saying it again. The players got duped, the top 10-15 guy's are going to get their money but every one else is going to have to take less. It's obvious that this keeps owners from spending the money they would've normally spent. Worst free agency year ever.
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-
He’s doesn’t play better defense than OG. The move was to make up for Tobias, who has been on the team, on the floor but gone for 2 seasons. The paid for production from that 3 position 2 years 2 late. Knicks in 6
Calling PG-13, Embid, and Maxey the best big three in the league sounds a lot like last year when everyone said the Suns had the best big three with KD, Booker and Wall, or the year before when everyone said the Clippers had the best big three in the league with Harden, Kawhi, and Playoff P.
Ex gm gave Porter that contract, not Booth. soo its not his fault. they just wanted to go to different direction aside of KCP. plus Gordon extension is coming up.
Spot on with everything about the Nuggets! To not try and use Joker prime years for winning championships is baffling to me, especially after they already wasted 3 of his MVP years
Always love the conversation. PG is not winning a championship in Philly. He wanted to secure his money and he did. Congrats 🎊 I disagree with Bontemps this is nowhere near a great Big 3. Embid is always hurt. PG is old, always hurt and not in his prime anymore. PG’s defense has slipped the last few years. Philly does not scare my Knicks.
Bontemps Paul George may not be a top 20 player anymore and maxey may not be a top 20 player yet. Explain why this trio is better than the trio of Tatum, brown, porzingis or Tatum, brown, holiday
I am a Sixers fan I like this signing only if he helps make the Eastern Conference Finals and NBA Finals and win. Paul George is still a baller did he even pick his jersey number?
Podzimski has no non physical weaknesses. Everything that his body can do. He does as well as any player I can think of. This fact had to be a huge presence in the Warriors thoughts on Klay
The Sixers basically traded Tobias Harris for PG... There is no way that they aren't a better team today Ps they also got Drummond back to back up Joel (which is more impactful than most realize)
@@Shortballa11 want to see them bring in a backup 4 behind PJ if Maxi ends up being traded. Keep in mind they might sign & trade with GS so Josh Green would be gone in that deal as well. QG is his replacement so more help is needed
@@bo0gi3 Agreed. I was hoping they kept Josh Green. I think JG and Grimes can learn a lot about movement shooting from Klay. ANd Naji isnt a permanent 4 bt he can def play it on occasion in small ball.
Klay Thompson was given a max contract when he got injured TWICE, no one was willing to trade for him as they viewed him as done/washed but GSW stuck by him all while defending that he's still integral to there plan's for the future. 48 million for two year's plus bonuses would've freed up enough to retain CP3, grab a 5 like Drummond for a year and maybe have enough to get in a veteran's deal. Him not resigning is fuxked up, why? LOYALTY
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!!
@@thomasm1585 yep, all they need is depth. Now they have the flexibility to do it where if they resigned kcp they would have zero depth just like last year. Also CB is so much better than people are ready for.
@@MikeMike-qb6oy Eevn with the departure of KCP, they are still in cap hell. They do not have cap room and thus can only user their tax-payer MLE and bi-annual exception. It is going to be near impossible to fill out the roster with such limited tools. Banking on CB to hit and step up as a starter, is a longshot at best.
@@thomasm1585 So your solution to the lack of depth is to resign a 33 year old kcp who had a terrible playoffs and have no ability to add bench players? I don't get it. CB will be great in the starting group, being the 5th starter on Denver is the easiest job in the NBA just watch.

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.
I usually don't jump on the Bontemps hate, but is it possible not to after this?
Being 40 and wearing a backwards hat. Yikes
PG really went from one MVP caliber player who can't stay healthy to another MVP caliber player who can't stay healthy.
In that regard, magic might have been better

Sixers also landed Andre Drummond (backup for Embiid when hurt & mentor Bona) , and Kelly Oubre (Backup for PG) ngl the main problem with that clippers team was depth and now Sixers got some solid pieces even with the big contracts.
Maxey , Gordon , PG, ?? , Embiid
McCain , Ricky Councils , Oubre, Reed , Drummond / Bona
windy really abused the phrase "at the end of the day" on this episode lol
Whatever Bontemps is, it starts with a$$h0le. 🤣 His two kindly older bros Windy and MacMahon continually foster his cantankerous nature by letting him pop-off whenever the vent blows. He's much more reserved on other shows, with the shorter airtime. This is my favorite pod, hands down!
Paul George upgrades the 76ers, maybe, Nova Knicks are getting better, right, but we forget Boston just won the championship 2 weeks ago and have their top 10 guys under contract through this year. Until one of those top 8-9 guys leaves Boston is the main threat to repeat.
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?
@@Xfactor444-x4n 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.
i'm a warriors fan because klay is one of the reasons. i mean, you drafted him to help you put up those banners. but, now, when klay is down, in terms of stats, you can't get him up? well, there's pride in terms of budget. he's one of the reasons why the crying fans are there. i don't think klay is about money. he's about pride. c'mon, don't make him look cheap, it can lowers self-esteem. you know what? you can't buy that. he's priceless.
Porzingis Brown and Tatum just blazed through the league but somehow Embid George an Maxey are the best 3 hahaha lol
They blazed through injured teams..they barely beat an injured pacer squad
Bontemps whining about 76ers disrespect when he disrespects all 29 other teams constantly is music to my ears
Denver not being top 5 might be Bontemps worst take of the offseason
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.
I like that y’ll talked about cp3 to the spurs…
difference making player? where did he make a difference?
I like the pickup, ppl just hate on Embiid
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
Yo windy wants to say this dude went form an old star who is hurt to a younger star who is hurt LOL 😂 Like this doesn’t move the needle and they won’t win
Theyre going to be dumping $50 mil a year for a player in his late 30’s that’s basically Tobias Harris Sr. 😅

Getting a notification about PG at 3am is insane!
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😂
Windhorst looks freaking out of it rn 😂😂
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
What a disgusting 76ers fanboy. A championship "contender" that hasn't been past the second round just added a "superstar" that's not been a superstar for years. Last season was considered one of PGs best and he was like what? The 40th best player in the league? What are the chances he plays 70+ games again? What are the chances Embiid's going to play more than 50 games and not start pointing fingers at everyone else again?
Bontemps out here looking like an undercover cop
The Lakers were 12 games above 500 last season . Characterizing them as not good is patently false . Would done much better if not for a self-sabotaging coach .
Klay to Dallas doesn’t make sense, they’ll get cooked on defense. 3 starters who are average defenders at best
This podcast is the best big 3 in NBA land..
Its kinda funny how the Sixers first dumped Harden to the Clippers and now also signed PG from them
42:00 "We don't have rational conversations about the Lakers at our network" :-)
Embiid is always too hurt to be considered a third of a big three.
Bontempts hat backwards? Bro means business today
@@kenny2553 it’s embarrassing you think age determines hat direction 🤣
I said it when the players signed this new CBA and I'm saying it again. The players got duped, the top 10-15 guy's are going to get their money but every one else is going to have to take less. It's obvious that this keeps owners from spending the money they would've normally spent. Worst free agency year ever.
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-
this is all the exact same energy as dame and the bucks
The dame trade will play out this year as he has a full off-season prep.
He’s doesn’t play better defense than OG. The move was to make up for Tobias, who has been on the team, on the floor but gone for 2 seasons. The paid for production from that 3 position 2 years 2 late. Knicks in 6
The Lakers won 47 games in the West. Bontemps does know the defienieon of what a bad team is.
Why are we excited about Bridges? 16:16
Are we losing Hartenstein at the cost of Bridges? 16:16
Optimism coming from Bontemps that’s interesting
Calling PG-13, Embid, and Maxey the best big three in the league sounds a lot like last year when everyone said the Suns had the best big three with KD, Booker and Wall, or the year before when everyone said the Clippers had the best big three in the league with Harden, Kawhi, and Playoff P.
Man crazy Free Agency so far
Ex gm gave Porter that contract, not Booth. soo its not his fault. they just wanted to go to different direction aside of KCP. plus Gordon extension is coming up.
Boston has a big 5 … and this is from a lakers fan …
Best big three in the league…
Brown Tatum Porzingus
Brown Tatum White
Brown Tatum Holiday
🤣🤣🤣
Spot on with everything about the Nuggets! To not try and use Joker prime years for winning championships is baffling to me, especially after they already wasted 3 of his MVP years
Paul George is NOT top 15 in the league this dude is trippin
yea hes crazy
lets see the team they can build around that big3🤔 + there are health problem with 2 of the big3... we saw how it worked in phoenix😂
Always love the conversation. PG is not winning a championship in Philly. He wanted to secure his money and he did. Congrats 🎊 I disagree with Bontemps this is nowhere near a great Big 3. Embid is always hurt. PG is old, always hurt and not in his prime anymore. PG’s defense has slipped the last few years. Philly does not scare my Knicks.
Philly top 5
Warrior's need Lauri Markanen
Bontemps Paul George may not be a top 20 player anymore and maxey may not be a top 20 player yet. Explain why this trio is better than the trio of Tatum, brown, porzingis or Tatum, brown, holiday
The magic put out a statement that George wasn't going to sign with them
Tim’s bias against the lakers is so clearly present whenever he speaks about them 😂😂😂
Windy is a know it all and when these guys challenge him, he cant handle it 😂
😂
No, he just really knows his stuff....
I am a Sixers fan I like this signing only if he helps make the Eastern Conference Finals and NBA Finals and win. Paul George is still a baller did he even pick his jersey number?
I like Bontemps he's willing to throw shade at ESPN and the billionaire owners of the Nuggets
Bontempt sounds like he hates the Lakers
Podzimski has no non physical weaknesses. Everything that his body can do. He does as well as any player I can think of.
This fact had to be a huge presence in the Warriors thoughts on Klay
Philly top fire
The Sixers basically traded Tobias Harris for PG... There is no way that they aren't a better team today
Ps they also got Drummond back to back up Joel (which is more impactful than most realize)
Bontemps thinks more highly of Paul George than Paul George's wife thinks of her own husband
Bontemps favorite segment, getting to trash on the Lakers
JT JB and any other Celtics starter
SGA JDub and Chet
KD Book Beal
Joker Murray AG
Ant Rudy KAT
Haliburton Siakam Turner
Just to name a few
Klay won't play unless he can start? What a TOOL
Bontemps is doing tricks on the Sixers' tip until Embiid gets hurt again
Mavs getting Klay would be BIG. Would still need to fill out their rosters with consistent role players
They already did. Naji, Quentin Grimes, etc... Klay is the last piece.
@@Shortballa11 want to see them bring in a backup 4 behind PJ if Maxi ends up being traded. Keep in mind they might sign & trade with GS so Josh Green would be gone in that deal as well. QG is his replacement so more help is needed
@@bo0gi3 Agreed. I was hoping they kept Josh Green. I think JG and Grimes can learn a lot about movement shooting from Klay. ANd Naji isnt a permanent 4 bt he can def play it on occasion in small ball.
Klay Thompson was given a max contract when he got injured TWICE, no one was willing to trade for him as they viewed him as done/washed but GSW stuck by him all while defending that he's still integral to there plan's for the future. 48 million for two year's plus bonuses would've freed up enough to retain CP3, grab a 5 like Drummond for a year and maybe have enough to get in a veteran's deal.
Him not resigning is fuxked up, why? LOYALTY
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!!
Idx who Philly signs, boston will always be their daddy
And... its the SPURS ! WHAT AN ENSIGHT !😢
Other teams loading up in the West, Denver losing players while still rostering the 3x MVP YIKES
Nuggets were contenders with Jokic, Jamal, MPJ, AG, Barton, Monte Morris, and Torrey Craig lol... How soon ppl forget
They now only have 4 real NBA players. Got to have depth to make it far in the playoffs. They are an injury away from a first round exit.
@@thomasm1585 yep, all they need is depth. Now they have the flexibility to do it where if they resigned kcp they would have zero depth just like last year. Also CB is so much better than people are ready for.
@@MikeMike-qb6oy Eevn with the departure of KCP, they are still in cap hell. They do not have cap room and thus can only user their tax-payer MLE and bi-annual exception. It is going to be near impossible to fill out the roster with such limited tools. Banking on CB to hit and step up as a starter, is a longshot at best.
@@thomasm1585 So your solution to the lack of depth is to resign a 33 year old kcp who had a terrible playoffs and have no ability to add bench players? I don't get it. CB will be great in the starting group, being the 5th starter on Denver is the easiest job in the NBA just watch.
