Deep dives
James Harden's absence dominates media day
James Harden's absence and trade demands overshadowed the Philadelphia 76ers' media day. The focus on Harden's desire to leave the team elicited frustration from fans and media alike. The lack of clarity regarding Harden's future has overshadowed other important topics, such as player development and team chemistry. The Sixers' front office, coaching staff, and teammates have had to address constant questions about Harden, impacting the overall atmosphere of the team heading into the upcoming season.
Joel Embiid's commitment to the Sixers
Joel Embiid expressed his commitment to the Philadelphia 76ers during media day, stating that winning a championship for the city and fans is his ultimate goal. Embiid acknowledged the frustration of not making it past the second round of the playoffs and emphasized the need for continuous improvement. He also discussed the importance of staying healthy and optimizing his performance in the postseason, while acknowledging the need for more roster balance and team success.
Limited trade options affecting the Sixers' moves
The Philadelphia 76ers' limited trade options have hindered their ability to make significant roster moves. The absence of attractive trade assets, coupled with other teams' demands in the market, has made it challenging for the Sixers to address their needs. This lack of flexibility has affected their ability to acquire impactful players and create a more competitive roster. As a result, the team is currently relying on internal development and the cohesion of their existing players to achieve success.
Prioritizing Sixers games over girlfriend
A listener shares a story about prioritizing Sixers games over spending time with his girlfriend during college. He made it clear that watching the games was important to him, but his girlfriend wanted his attention immediately after the games ended. Eventually, she gave him an ultimatum to choose between her and the podcast. He chose her, but missed listening to the podcast during their time together. However, during a celebratory moment after a game, he discreetly listened to the podcast on an AirPod while being intimate with her, leading to their ultimate breakup. The listener wonders if he was in the wrong and if there is a chance to reconcile.
Possibility of betting on the Sixers
The hosts discuss the possibility of betting on the Sixers to win the Eastern Conference. They mention the recent successes of the Celtics and Bucks, and suggest that if the Sixers make another impactful trade, the odds may become more favorable. Although they acknowledge the challenges and hardships that come with being a Sixers fan, they speculate that, were they not fans, they might consider placing a bet on the team to win the conference. They briefly mention the odds offered by a sportsbook, but conclude that the odds may change as the preseason progresses.
