VJ wasn't even just one of the best rookies tonight, he was one of the best players in the entire league tonight. Very impressive.

Watching how passive he was at Baylor I couldn't imagine him taking 26 shots in the opener. I would have guessed it would take him 3 games to put up that many shots.

His 14 points in the first quarter of an NBA debut broke Lebron's former record of 12.

Another strange thing about VJ in college is that he struggled finishing at the rim. Given his athleticism that just didn't make sense

He was on PG's podcast over the summer and was talking about how he didn't like playing college ball, didn't like his teams system or how is coach used him and didn't think he could thrive and thought there was more opportunity and his game was more suited to the NBA spacing.
Looks like so far he was right.

Yeah that makes sense. I would watch him and i would be like dude do something lol. He was clearly a top tier athlete but i got more frustrated watching him than any of the other guys.
in the end it doesn't matter because he wasn't an option for us.
Finally, he might be the guy they need to get past over the second round of the postseason.
The sixers should be on it. Now.

Only way sixers get past rd 2 is if Embiid and George perform like they were paid. And if by chance that were to happen the Sixers get smoked in the ECF. I have about as much faith in Sixers as a kid does their dead beat dad. Somehow showing up with a box of pizza gets old.
Another good game by VJ. So much poise this kid has. Really showed his playmaking ability and awareness.
Grimes is hoopin. He trying to get paid this summer. Not mad at him.

Today might be the first time I've seen vj make a step back 3. I don't think I saw him even try that at Baylor.

I said that before the season started. And when embiid/george are together I want to see what happens to the others. Who concedes, takes a back seat. How long does it take for the chemistry to work. I rather see McCain added. And I know this team without embiid/george are not that good. But I enjoy hungry young talent just hooping like it’s no tomorrow. Embiid still has to get in game shape as he looks slow. And who knows what you’re getting with George. Strange roster indeed.
But I’m loving our guards right now.
Bench scorer?
Clearly. He will come in when Maxey or VJ hit the bench.

Run It Back: Boogie Cousins says it's valid to ask if the 76ers are better without Joel Embiid 😳 "I'm pretty sure the front office is having talks about... closing this door moving forward."

Should jave been as soon as they got the lottery pick. Stuck with george. Time to move forward with maxey and the young guys. Let lakers roll with embiid
Better without embiid today is a stretch. Long term? Yeah you would like to go without him AND George. But you have to question what the Sixers roster would look like post Embiid or even George. Remember the Sixers gave Paul George a massive contract. And they had had instances where they gave our bad deals only to look to get rid of them. So people can say this team should get rid of Embiid and go forward. But with who with what? History has shown Sixers stink when it comes to signing free agents. Might get lucky. Might score again in draft. But Maxey/VJ isn’t making me blind.

Do you really think the Lakers would trade for Embiid? :lol
He's untradable with that contract. Even if they just cut him that doesn't help their cap space. They would still have to pay him and he still counts against the cap.

Someone would probably take embiid. Already tried to dump george

Apparently VJ is the first guard in history to average 25/5/5 through his first 3 games.
No one/contract is untradable. We’ve heard that said so many times only to be debunked by a contract deemed untradable to be moved.

For the Lakers Embiid would be a God-awful trade prospect. They would have to move what, 60 mil in contract? They aren't deep or particularly talented after the two stars, after they make that money match who the hell is left? I think they would sign him as a free agent if he somehow got bought out but any trade would be horrible.

Sarr is on a minutes restriction like embiid. Calf injury from the summer. Tre has back soreness but should play.

Embiids injury history makes moving him more difficult.
I have no doubt that team's have tried to trade guys plenty of times and failed due to the contract but that isn't widely reported. Years ago the CBA had an amnesty clause allowing you to cut a guy and get him off your cap even though you still had to pay him. Pretty sure almost every team used it. We used it on Blatche. Were were still paying him for years after he was out of the NBA.

Eh, teams will still see value in Embiid. Beal only had 3 teams he would play for. Whereas it’s open season for embiid with his injury history. And injury history has never stopped a team from bringing in a player. See sixers and Paul George. Ouch.
I’m not watching game but embiid is playing so I’m going to assume that’s why VJ shots dominated totally. Because I don’t recall wizards adding a defensive stud to lock up guards.

We have some size and it seems like we are forcing vj to drive left which he doesn't want to do. Maybe that is triggering him to go into the passive mode I saw at Baylor.

Why Sarr cook like he did? I gotta watch highlights of his pts this game. And damn yall tricked this off. Thought yall were going to win. I check boxscore and OT

I like what i'm seeing with sarr, uncle. Hopefully he can transcend your team little by little in the next few seasons.

Good tank loss. This is a must tank year for us, even more than last season, because our pick is only top 8 protected. On top of that we have a pick swap with Phoenix which could double our lottery odds. CJ is our tank commander.
Kyshawn has been great so far. He showed flashes last season but has taken it to a different level. I like that he was more controlled tonight sometimes he gets too shot happy.
The last two games we made it a point to get Sarr more shots. Tonight he shot 7 3s which was a big change because he hasnt been shooting them in the first 3 games. I guess they did it to take advantage of Embiid and Drummond not wanting to guard the perimeter.

Whether or not he can handle that load is a major unknown but if he can keep that up he's a superstar in the making. Even if he is tired from those minutes by season's end it could give him a goal to train for next offseason. He's young, they should ride him and Maxey.

They are paying out insane cash to their stars, that can't be to be a lottery team. Maxey is also a young player at 24, don't just label him fragile. Give these guys a chance to be great. This might be the best chance they have to win the Atlantic division and Eastern Conference. Next year the knicks may trade for Giannis, Tatum returns, and who knows what else. Embiid is on his last legs. Better go for it now.

Iverson did it no problem. Once McCain returns then Maxey VJ minutes will decrease.

What's up with VJ lately? Looks like he's been struggling a bit.
Seems to be settling for 3’s more than being aggressive attack the rim like he did early on in the season. Not sure what’s up with that.
