Tyrese Maxey is better than Jaylen Brown

I mean, Tyrese Maxey is better than Jaylen Brown for sure. Ooh, for sure. [Hank] would trade Jaylen Brown for Tyrese Maxey immediately.

While subjective, Jaylen Brown went on to win Eastern Conference Finals MVP and NBA Finals MVP in 2024, making this take age poorly in the short term.

This off-season feels different for the Sixers because they finally have significant cap space to build around Joel Embiid

This is the first off season where we have Cap space and We have some room to make some, a difference in our lineups. [Even] if we don't [get Paul George or LeBron James], just using that Tobias [Harris] money to go get guys like Dante [DiVincenzo], like the role players that the Knicks had who are really good, that go and get guys like that who can surround [Embiid] and hit shots.

The Sixers did use their cap space to sign Paul George and several key role players (Eric Gordon, Caleb Martin) in the 2024 off-season.

The Eastern Conference is a cakewalk for the Celtics

Yeah. No, the East is a cakewalk... They should lose one, maybe two games. The over under should be three. Maybe one series next, next game.

The Celtics went 12-2 through the Eastern Conference playoffs (beating Heat 4-1, Cavs 4-1, and Pacers 4-0), making Hank's prediction spot on.

I've thought AJ Brown was probably going for a while now. I think it's just gonna, he's just gonna get traded after June 1st.

The NBA's 65-game award rule was specifically created because of Joel Embiid

It's a thousand percent... it's literally the Joel Embiid rule. No, this rule was made because of Joel Embiid. They made the rule because of Joel Embiid because people were upset that he won the MVP and they didn't think that he played enough games.

While the rule was spurred by 'load management' trends, Embiid played 66 games in his MVP season, meaning he would have qualified under the current rule anyway.

The Phillies will regress to a wild card team and lose in the first round

I think Phillies are regressing. They'll still make the playoffs as a wild card team. They'll sneak in and then lose in the first round.

Depends on the 2026 Phillies performance.
