Trading Jared McCain was already a bad mistake. Trading Maxey would compound it. If anything, the Sixers should have kept McCain, and traded Embiid (the timing of George's suspension made him untradable at the deadline, but they could move him in the offseason).

The Sixers could have turned the page with Maxey, McCain, and Edgecombe as core of the future. Trading Maxey, while still keeping Embiid and George on the roster, would stunt the rebuild for this team.

Agree that trading McCain was a bad mistake.  And sure, trade Embiid if you can but probably only Nico Harrison would have even entertained it and he's manning a wendy's drivethru somewhere now

nice, whereabouts?

in or near center city.  I like the laid back attitude in this forum.  Smaller forums are better. If I get banned, I'll try to come back under another name next winter. I don't know all the climo ins and outs of Philly so I'll need your guidance.

Nobody will ban you here. Haven't seen a mod in here in literal years.

I agree about McCain. He would have been perfect for the next rebuild/retool. 

Only reason I said about trading Maxey was that this team reminds me a lot of the late 2000, early 2010 teams. Had talent but could never get to the next level for years. Then Hinke came in, blew everything up and started over.  Which in general sucked as well as they had years of top 5 picks and only Embiid to show for it.

Why in 2026 are local TV mets still doing the weather tease? “Here’s tomorrow’s forecast and I’ll be back later on to let you know how the weekend is shaping up.”

Um, everyone can simply look at their phone to see how the weekend is shaping up.

They do that with everything. Something like, a local Rockstar has just died coming up. Like I'm going to wait? I can talk to the phone and have the answer in 5 seconds without wasting my time watching stupid ass commercials then you getting back to me...

I was at the Flyers game last night. Probably the loudest I've heard the center since the 2010 dream run to the Cup finals. Still nothing compared to the Spectrum but it was nice enjoying a true home ice advantage last night. Even better that the team didn't lay an egg - they have been infinitely better on the road all year. Also, Ersson has found it. He's been a completely different goalie since the Olympics. Right now Rick can feel somewhat comfortable starting both netminders.
