The biggest problem I have seen with the Embiid, PG and Maxey is lack of chemistry which makes sense and becomes more apparent as other teams get more comfortable. There is also a problem with hierarchy and disconnect between theory and practice.

With a lot less time on my hands to enjoy basketball I've become a true Sixers sicko. My first reaction to the Knicks winning is the hope they get a post win hangover and are easy pickings on Friday.
Also winning the cup in Vegas. To playing a back-to-back in Indy and NYC is hardly a reward.

I hope the Sixers turn this into a running gag where they pass the ball in the front court and stumble into the backcourt under 2 mins (when up at least 12).
It's been a weird one on the other site RE: the backcourt violation no-call in Sixers-Hawks last night. Led me to some time digging in the NBA Rulebook, even...
NBA Refs account calls out Alaa Abdelnaby for not knowing seemingly non-existent backcourt rule ⬇️

The NBA Referees’ official X account directly called out Alaa Abdelnaby for not knowing an obscure backcourt violation rule. The problem? The rule doesn’t actually appear in the NBA Rulebook.

Sixers still don't have a single lineup that has played more than 100 possessions. And most likely won't have one for a while. Not going to look at every other team, but a cursory look and every team I checked has quite a few. Their record is remarkable for the lack of consistency. still not ideal.

Sixers got significancy outshot by 3. Had more turnovers but took 6 more shots and made 8 more.
That’s one way to win the battle against 3pt regression.

The Grimes shit is wild. While I do think Morey has a particular finance bro steak/fetish I also dont think he’s stupid and understands having long term control on a young player on a decent contact is better than taking the qualifying offer.

I would like some Grimes intel please. His main leverage is time, as any further moves hinge on him re-signing. But he's also not going to get a better offer.
Why can't the sixers give a team second rd pick to offer Grimes sixers desired contract, allowing them to match it. Ha, I kid?

Would you rather have Grimes or Nickeil Alexander Walker?
I would be fine either way, but just going on fit I might prefer NAW.

Says best skill is passing! Will excel in short rolls.
Thinks shot will be good enough to be a safety valve. Sounds good to me.

New: When I interviewed draft experts about the Sixers' options at No. 3 overall, @baumboards.bsky.social gave stellar insight on VJ Edgecombe.

Don't know if you can find a PF/big wing who can pass (and also be in the NBA) in the second round, but that is something the Sixers need.
Both Bogolijub Marković, and Noah Penda seem to bring some passing at the PF position.
If anyone else has any ideas please share.

Sixers now have 2/5 of active players from the Bahamas. In the last two years they have had 4/5. If things go truly south they could easily re-acquire Kai Jones, and Buddy Hield. Trade Jo for Ayton. Move to Camden go in with a new theme, call it the Caribbean of New Jersey.

The east is injured. The team that won the chip went through large stretches where their offense was devoid of passing, and three point shots.
The time has finally come for the Sixers to go all in, and build around Joel Embiid.

While the concern level is understandably high, I don't think they will give any Embiid updates until after the Draft. They want their draft approach to be as opaque as possible (they also likely don't know anything meaningful yet).
ICYMI: A lot to unpack in this week’s Sixers mailbag…
• Where have the Joel Embiid knee updates been?
• Can the Sixers ever contend without him healthy?
• Breaking down how Quentin Grimes sign-and-trade could be done, with a hypothetical deal proposed:
