00:00What's your reaction to the youngster, Maxie, taking charge?
00:07I guess he's the leader now in Philly, telling Embiid how things should be.
00:13You know, we were just talking during the break, and I just talked about it on the podcast
00:16that will come out tomorrow.
00:17But really quickly, folks, you can look at it one of two ways, right?
00:22As an organization, you love the fact that a guy that's, you know, maybe a top 20 player
00:28in the NBA, based on how he played, particularly in the playoffs last year against the Knicks,
00:32is not afraid to call out the established superstars that's making over $50 million
00:38a year.
00:39So I love the fact that a point guard is willing to go to his big man and say, yo, like, you're
00:44not doing the right thing.
00:45You're not—you're coming in late.
00:46You're not serious.
00:47We're trying to win a championship here.
00:49You got to dial it in.
00:51But then there's the other side.
00:53To me, where is Nick Nurse?
00:56Where is Daryl Laurie?
00:57Where is the 38-year-old Kyle Lowry?
01:01Where is the 34-year-old, you know, Paul George?
01:05Where is the 36-year-old Eric Gordon?
01:08These guys want to win championships.
01:10So they should be looking at Georgia and be like, yo, we came here to play with you.
01:14We wanted to win a championship with you.
01:17You got to dial it in.
01:18So it'll be interesting to see what happens with Philadelphia sitting at 2-11.
01:22Listen, we knew that they had to stay healthy.
01:25We knew it.
01:26But now it starts to make me wonder, why did Philadelphia even allow this guy to go to
01:31the Olympics when the Clippers didn't let—kind of pulled Kawhi out, right, in so many words.
01:38And the Warriors didn't let Andrew Wiggins go play for Canada.
01:41Philadelphia's got to get their you-know-what together or they're going to be in trouble.
01:44And you know, in Philadelphia, if you start losing, they will turn on you real quick.
01:49Do you think they'll regret giving Nambito all that money?
01:54I mean, there's always going to be buyer's remorse.
01:56I mean, listen, here's the thing, Pharrell, you told us two years ago when you got robbed
02:00of the MVP.
02:01Which Embiid are we going to get?
02:02Are we going to get that one?
02:03Or the one that was great during the running season before he got hurt?
02:04Or are we going to get the one now that looks like the Phoenix and Cleveland Cavs version
02:11of Shaquille O'Neal?
02:12Like, which one are we going to get?
02:13Because if we get that one from Cleveland and Phoenix Shaq, that ain't going to be
02:17a good look.
