Philadelphia 76ers star Joel Embiid will make his return tonight against the Dallas Mavericks after being sidelined for a month.


Jesus. Mavs gonna lose by 40+ again.

At this rate, making the play-in is questionable for them.


Yeah, it would be hilarious to see them trade Luka to win this season, and then they don't even make the playoffs. And then Kyrie opts out and leaves this off season.


Kyrie leaving is now a legit probability with Luka gone. Dude only resigned because of him.

Dude gonna bounce and I’m gonna be sad for AD when that happens.


If I were Nico since their championship window is 3 years max, they should go all in and trade for KD or Butler. They have like 3 FRPs and salaries to make it work.

Starting Klay over Christie would be a joke with the whole “defense wins championships” mantra.

Only a regular season game but Boston is still looking like the team to beat in the East. Up by 20 on the Cavs after the first quarter.

Klay is redundant without Luka. Maxie is gonna start for that team.

He's the overall better player.

Im kind of happy for him though because i think he's gonna get a much bigger role on that mavs team.

I think being around guys like Kyrie-klay and their coach is gonna help him a lot.

It's crazy how fast his game has developed in less than six months.

a month ago Christie would never make those kind of layups he did against the knicks.

it would have been a two handed dunk attempt that got stuffed.

He looked slithery against the knicks.


MAH BOIIIII!

Why do you think he'll get a bigger role? If anything I think he gets less of a role on a Kidd team with a lot of guys around his size. We were missing depth at his position.

Im basing it all off of wishful thinking. I think Maxie has great potental beyond just being a really good role player.


I know Kidd likes playing vets though.

But i think nico got him for a reason. I dont think Christie was a throw in for them.

Christie def fits what they are seemingely trying to create on that team.

Cavs just down 10 despite shooting 3-18 from 3. Single game variance is a (bleep).

Max is why we need to buy another SRP this draft. Give the scouting department chances.

They just traded for Caleb Martin too... Klay is more of a SF these days.

Gafford/Lively/Powell
AD/Washington/Kessler
Klay/Naji/Prosper
Max/Caleb/Exum
Kyrie/Dinwiddie/Hardy

Feels like scouting has found a couple of gems.

Max progress was one of the main reason why I had high hopes for this team prior to the trade... Adding DFS along with Vando defensively. I thought this team was rounding up pretty solid.

Maxey constantly putting Christie on ice skates.

Max still has a LOT of work to do.
