Assessing The Sixers & Their Future (PST Show #448)
This week, what we're throwing down on the Table is an in-depth discussion with Tom West (@TomWestNBA) from LibertyBallers.com about how we should be assessing and valuing various aspects of this Philadelphia 76ers team. We dove into the Joel Embiid experience, his dominance, how anti trade will impact this team, underrated players, and much more. It was a great discussion!
But first, we reflected on our opportunity and recent discussions with Ricky Bottalico, Jamie Moyer, and Andre Dawson. (approx. 4:40)
Then we responded to listener feedback that focused on the Eagles, their quarterback position, draft capital, and also overtime in the NFL. (approx. 13:10)
From there, we had an interesting discussion about how sports can still be great without the greats leaving their marks all the time. Do we always need the Aaron Rogers and Tom Bradys of the world to see great sporting matchups and events? (approx. 30:05)
We also dove into the Sixers upcoming schedule, how it's brutal, and possible trade scenarios that may actually work out well for the organization. (approx. 40:50)
What we threw down on the Table was a great discussion with Tom West from Liberty Ballers about how we should be valuing this Sixers season and various elements within the team. We talked about how Joel Embiid has the weight of the team on his shoulders and how high caliber NBA talent may start clamoring to play with him in the future. We also discussed how the Ben Simmons saga has taken bizarre turns and how we shouldn't be surprised if he's not traded until the offseason. Who's the most underrated player on this Sixers team? All of this and much more this week on the Table! (approx. 51:50)
