I ultimately don’t blame PG for leaving at all. Kawhi can’t stay healthy and it’s a reoccurring theme every year. It forced PG to be thrusted into a number 1 option when he was brought there to be a number 2
It’s not often that Boston, NY, and Philly are all good at the same time. The spirit of the fanbases would be electric in the playoffs as we saw with the Knicks/Sixers series
Yeah as much as it pissed me off at the time as a sixers fan, I think it’s good for the league to have 3 passionate fan bases that will show up for playoff games and get the crown noise up
One thing that I love that TH-camrs seem to be understanding that a lot of comments aren’t is that the sixers don’t really have many better options besides lebron or Brandon Ingram and neither of those are looking like they are going to move. The sixers have a 2-3 year window at best so yeah, the contract is going to look bad by that point. We dealt with paying that level of money to Tobias Harris because Jimmy butler didn’t want to stay. Now we have a better player who fits very well with the team. We have no one else to spend money on while having cap so at least this one makes more space than with Tobias
I agree, but it is a bit unfortunate that the contract is gonna be stinky in a few years. Also Jimmy did want to stay though. He’s talked about how the sixers front office chose toby over him
@@arlbungus and I heard reports that he said he wouldn’t play with Brett Brown. Either way, we won’t have a chance to be a title contender by the end of his deal anyway so it’ll be ok

Nah Jimmy said someone on the 76ers front office had said “Can we control Jimmy?” Which is absurd and the main reason Jimmy left. As a Heat fan Im very glad 76ers messed up that situation.
As a rampant Clipper fan, you see that PG's stats are an average of great and lousy games. He averaged 17 points last February, and had more single digit scoring games than anyone averaging 23 a game should. Those games where Kawhi was injured and PG needed to step up? Nothing. Harden joined the team and instantly PG was the 3rd option. He will be the third option at Philly, and he will go ice old and be a disappearing act for weeks at a time. You just pray its not in the playoffs. (yes his awesome games were great)
I look at it this way. Is PG better and more consistent than Tobias Harris?!?!? Yes. PG is a decent size upgrade from Tobias Harris. Harris being the third option gave the sixers an 0/2 (FG), 29 minutes, ZERO point, 4 Rebound, 3 Assist outting in an elimination game. That is undefendable. I'll take an overpaid PG for 4 years then having to sit through even just one more Tobias Harris game. The Pistons finished with 14 wins?!?! Let's see how much Harris adds to that total.
That's mostly okay. He's not Tobias Harris and he's still a great defender and passer. The Sixers don't need perfection. They need not Ben Simmons or Tobias Harris.
@@MasterofLightninghe's an absolutely terrible passer lol and you all will soon find out. Not only is he consistently off the mark with the fundamentals of passing (throws the ball over other heads or at their feet), but he struggles with when and where to pass it. You will get consistent boneheaded plays from the guy leaving you scratching your head as to how he arrived at his stats-- especially in crunch time.
Idk how true this is, truly don’t. They could’ve offered a longer deal though, but maybe KCP didn’t want a longer deal. The best of both worlds would’ve been KCP opting in to his 15.4M PO, extending 140%, so… 15.4M 21.56M 23,284,800 25,009,600 That would’ve been a 3/70M extension. Total of 4/85.2 or so. They even could’ve done another season, at 26,734,400. So 4/96.59M extension, 5/112M total. That would’ve been a way for them to stay under the second apron this season while retaining KCP. They would’ve ended up in the 2A eventually, but you can be in the 2A for a year or two without much issue. Could’ve moved him after another 2-3 runs at the chip. But like I said maybe KCP didn’t want that long term deal, who really knows. I just think if you are a contender and need to pay a guy to remain at that level, you do it and figure it out later. $ should’ve never been an issue with how rich the owner is…and if they paid KCP like 3/72 or something even, they could’ve moved him in a couple years. This really feels like Kroenke cheaping out to me. But who really knows!
I didn't think the Sixers should have pursued PG, but here we are. Honestly, PG and Embiid as teammates is not much different than PG and Kawhi as teammates, except that Kawhi elevates in the postseason, and PG and Embiid have Maxey to pick up their slack when needed. Health and postseason play will be huge issues for this trio. I don't see the Sixers getting much farther than they have in years past.
Embiid with his antics and a set of excuses for every scenario and PG who was indifferent about getting knocked out of play-offs. What a duo indeed, I feel bad for Maxey tho
No idea why the Clippers didn't accept the Warriors offer (or another team's offer). Surely they knew they weren't going to be able to sign him, so why did they let him go for nothing?
Basically what the Clippers said in their announcement that PG wasn’t coming back was that they told PG “We can’t give you what you want because we won’t have the flexibility to be able to continue building the team around you, Kawhi & Harden” and essentially they said that the trades that were offered to them would have still left them with very little flexibility in roster management. At least that’s how I read it.
The deals offered were not that great and they didn't want to empower direct competition for that. Still thinking they should have searched for another solution in the east (maybe Milwaukee, Miami or even the Cavs)
It was all psychological. A new team can change everything. To be fair to your opinion though it can also force him to fully bottom out. But these shake ups are more often than not positive.
Holy shit, there needs to be some more strict salary cap regulations because at some point small market teams just can’t compete. Just imagine 10 years from now when someone is gonna make 100 million a year.
I’m not a sixers fan but they are legit a squad when the final 5 minutes of a game hits have 3 players that have bags and will be real tough to defend, if you’re hating for the purpose of hating you don’t know ball
I get where you're coming from. He's ok I think. he's shot a decent percentage in past years but on low volume. His form also doesn't convince too many defenders and he's often shooting wide open threes. Oddly enough he's had two 7 three pointer games but I think they were more outliers than the norm
I wished PG went to the Mavs. Klay was a good pick up but they can’t have another defensive liability on the floor. PG would fix everything that caused them to almost get swept in the finals. He’s a floor spacer who can play defense.
I really wanted to see pg on the magic great fit good young team but not a big market and bad for the nba I guess with views but still would have been cool and made them a dark horse
OKC / Boston next year finals. Klay adds nothing to Dallas. Probably hurts them. Minnesota is up there with OKC. Wouldn't be shocked if they make the finals / win the title. They have the defense to match with Celtics. Denver if they add someone. Jamal Murray is not enough. Jokic gets doubled down by Minnesota.
Right but notice how after my initial reaction I said the money was fine lol. Difference between that and screaming OVERPAY in the replies of every contract extension ever
I mean OKC has the money to spend all there players are cheap except sga. Its not like a Boston Celtics where there entire starting 5 is making big time bread.
@@kohsmoger1567 ya i mean every team that pays a guy has the money and Hartenstein is a great add, but the amount of money a man who averages 6 points per game is still pretty startling
I’m 100% confident they won’t. Embiid isn’t technically as injury prone as kawhi but he literally always gets injured right before or during the playoffs and pg and maxey aren’t enough to win a series
Recency bias just funny, players people managed to watch become "the greatest to ever grace the game", like paul george, cp3 but somehow they didnt win anything at all in their ending careers.
I should add, they lost these players a couple years after their championship runs.. instead of adding players like Dallas just did with adding Klay + Grimes who will help them significantly
People talk about gsw downfall for years. Don't know where you've been. At least the warriors have interesting young players and future picks going forward.
not really it’s very top heavy, you still have the raptors,pistons,nets,hornets,bulls,wizards and maybe the hawks that are either going to be rebuilding or or mediocre
@@kohsmoger1567 equal, it’s really only 3 contenders next year Celtics Knick’s and Bucks. Lebron faced solid top heavy teams before 25 during his first stint with the cavs (pistons, Celtics, magic,) then those later 2010 east teams with ( Pacers, Bulls, celtics ). Lebron just ran through those top teams of east every chance he got. The east is always weaker than the west and has always been a top heavy conference
No one talks about the Topić pick for OKC, looks like people are sleeping on EU players again, he's probably a better prospect than these college boys, if he manages to recover and stay healthy he's the new European threat to watch out for 😉
It's all great on paper but we all kinda know somehow 76ers will underachieve again. Still believe Bucks and Knicks are ahead, not to mention Celtics. Only if Maxey becomes a genuine top 15 player can I see them making the finals
Jimmy is still under contract with the Heat. He is also aging and injury-prone, just like PG and Embiid. His playoff performances don't cover for that.
@@urbaindelva7869 I think he meant before. And yes, they should have. Jimmy over Tobias and I think the 76ers might have had a ring by now. As it stands, even though I like the move, I think their window is over. This might mean they can make a conference championship, finally, but they're only getting to the finals over an injured boston and they're losing to all the top teams in the West.
So 76ers is.. A team with an often injured Superstar (top 3 when healthy). A 34 year old waning who was never a superstar. A 23 year old who looks to be improving. Uh.. 2nd round exit at best.
Paul George is getting some of that age but a lot of that is also just depression and giving up. Sad part is Embiid has just as many injury concerns as Kawhi.
How are you saying the stressor of Paul George having to shoulder the load bc he has an injury prone star is gone? When Embiid is just as unhealthy as Kawahi lol. Like what
Imagine calling Paul George a "Top tier player". LMAO. What year is this? How old is Paul George? Paul George is 34 going into the 2024-25 season. He is nothing more than a good 3rd option for a contending team. Is Philly a contending team? Depends. Can Joel Embiid stay healthy throughout the season AND playoffs? If so, MAYBE. But they are still behind the Celtics and on par with the Knicks. The last time Paul George would be considered a "top tier" player was in 2018-19 when he finished 3rd in MVP and put up decent advanced stats (whose stats would still be below superstar level on my criteria) when he was age 28. Since then he has put up "okay" numbers at either all-star level or below all-star level advanced stats. He is 34. You might get 1-2 more good years from him.
Don't know why the clippers would rather lose George for nothing than take the assets the warriors were offering to get something back. Maybe they are just petty and don't want to do business with the warriors
The package wasn’t good enough. No Kuminga, then no deal. Flexibility is the best option after losing PG. With the new CBA, flexibility is the best way to go. That second apron is a killer. All of the clippers current signings have only been possible because PG decided to sign elsewhere. The Clippers aren’t a contender, but they are probably more or less the same with PG with the new additions. Also, there are still a few move the clippers could make to be a dark horse this coming season. From the Clippers current signings, it looks like they really want to focus on defense. Heck, with these signings, they would most likely be top 10 on defense this coming season. If anything, the goal is to have a huge amount cap space in 2026. So the future is much brighter than if we signed PG or made that trade that didn’t include Kaminga.
@@ohyeamanishere Your full of it and are delusional about the clippers future. They have no future and they didn't get something in exchange for George like picks. They didn't win buddy.

Uh.. 2nd round exit at best.
Lol what are they gonna do, take turns being injured. This is a zero sum signing.
Paul George is getting some of that age but a lot of that is also just depression and giving up.
Sad part is Embiid has just as many injury concerns as Kawhi.
When was PG depressed?
Embiid has maybe 5% less injury concerns lol
Embiid even if he's injured he'll play. Kawhi does not
@@handler--..1673exactly. Embiid plays thru injuries and will give you a couple 30 point games
Embiid literally played this post season and dropped from 30 to 50 points on a nightly basis
Ur like Shane Gillis' chad cousin
Another big 3? SMH
Jesus Christ loves you
How are you saying the stressor of Paul George having to shoulder the load bc he has an injury prone star is gone? When Embiid is just as unhealthy as Kawahi lol. Like what
BREAKING...
Jason Tatum signs 5-year, $314m extension with the Boston Celtics...
Breaking: water is wet
They'll get kicked out of the 2rnd of the playoffs after an anti-clutch performance from Playoff P while Embiid is out because of a sore hair.
You have bad takes
I’m sorry I love you

Imagine calling Paul George a "Top tier player". LMAO. What year is this? How old is Paul George? Paul George is 34 going into the 2024-25 season. He is nothing more than a good 3rd option for a contending team. Is Philly a contending team? Depends. Can Joel Embiid stay healthy throughout the season AND playoffs? If so, MAYBE. But they are still behind the Celtics and on par with the Knicks.
The last time Paul George would be considered a "top tier" player was in 2018-19 when he finished 3rd in MVP and put up decent advanced stats (whose stats would still be below superstar level on my criteria) when he was age 28. Since then he has put up "okay" numbers at either all-star level or below all-star level advanced stats.
He is 34. You might get 1-2 more good years from him.
We all know the sixers are losing in the second round get out of here lmfao
Still going to be terrible.
no shot Embiid makes it to the conf finals
You don’t think adding another injury prone serial choker moves the needle?
Don't know why the clippers would rather lose George for nothing than take the assets the warriors were offering to get something back. Maybe they are just petty and don't want to do business with the warriors
The package wasn’t good enough. No Kuminga, then no deal. Flexibility is the best option after losing PG. With the new CBA, flexibility is the best way to go. That second apron is a killer. All of the clippers current signings have only been possible because PG decided to sign elsewhere. The Clippers aren’t a contender, but they are probably more or less the same with PG with the new additions. Also, there are still a few move the clippers could make to be a dark horse this coming season. From the Clippers current signings, it looks like they really want to focus on defense. Heck, with these signings, they would most likely be top 10 on defense this coming season. If anything, the goal is to have a huge amount cap space in 2026. So the future is much brighter than if we signed PG or made that trade that didn’t include Kaminga.
@@ohyeamanishere Your full of it and are delusional about the clippers future. They have no future and they didn't get something in exchange for George like picks. They didn't win buddy.
@@ohyeamanishere Kuminga was included in the deal buddy.
@@kohsmoger1567 it was reported he wasn't included in the deal. The one who reported he was included was a warriors homer, buddy. Taking this so personal 😂😂 I just offered you perspective little boy
@@ohyeamanishere So the clippers dont want to recoup there pick situation so instead the lost george with no assets to show for it
They'll still be garbage and choke in the playoffs.
We all know Paul George will fall off in philly
Celtics should have signed Chris Paul to back up Jrue and get a ring.
Well, Paul obviously wasn't interested. Also, at 39 years old, how much would he actually do for them?
philly ain’t winning shit with embiid, go sixers
So halfway thru the vid ur talkin ab who mileaukee signed for 3 million ya cant just talk ab the sixers for one video huh
A bulls fan dissing Orlando
Take a seat Jacob. But dont sit too long. We know how you get. Dont want to go another 3 months ignoring a channel
Clippers, let us make something clear. Ahem.
POVERTY FRANCHISE. Sorry, had to do it.
First
