James Harden was the primary problem during his tenure with the 76ers

[James Harden] is probably the problem, James. I've seen enough close up with my own two eyes to know that maybe I should not trust what you're saying about [the Sixers front office].

Paul George to the Sixers is destined to end in tragic heartbreak

Paul George is the big ticket in the NBA free agency and this is going to be so, so good when they flame out of the playoffs. I just don't see how this is gonna end in anything but tragic heartbreak for Max.

Prediction Basketball Medium

The 76ers finished 24-58 and missed the playoffs entirely. Embiid played only 19 games before knee surgery. The Paul George/Embiid/Maxey experiment was a disaster, confirming the 'tragic heartbreak' prediction.

Max

The Sixers must make the NBA Finals or beat the Celtics within the next two years for the Paul George signing to be a success

It's a two year window to at least make we have to at least make a finals. Make a finals play for. NBA finals beat the Celtics NBA finals. We have to beat the Celtics one of these next two years.

Opinion Basketball Hot

Max stated that the Philadelphia 76ers needed to either make the NBA Finals or beat the Boston Celtics within the next two years (2024-2025 or 2025-2026 seasons). While the 76ers did not make the NBA Finals in either season, they did defeat the Boston Celtics in seven games in the first round of the 2026 NBA Playoffs, fulfilling the condition of beating the Celtics within the specified timeframe.

The Denver Nuggets will struggle mid-season because they let Kentavious Caldwell-Pope walk

Stan Kroenke strikes again, KCP going to the Magic and Stan Kroenke unwilling to pay luxury tax and build. I feel like that was a huge, that's one of those ones that we're gonna look at somewhere mid-season and be like, oh shit, the Nuggets just, they're kind of missing a guy. And it's KCP.

Prediction Basketball Medium

The Nuggets did struggle without KCP. Denver's defense suffered without Caldwell-Pope, and while they still competed, the team was notably less dominant, especially when Jokic was unavailable (4-8 without him). Big Cat's mid-season concern was validated.
