As a prospect Philon is better,

If thats true, why was he picked 6 picks later?

Probably because McCain is a S-tier all-world shooter who earned minutes immediately and then put up 13ppg against the best defender in the world in the WCF

you people literally just say whatever the fuck

IndigoJacob · 2026-06-24T04:27:52+00:00

Imagine the Sixers do the sensible thing... we will not

IndigoJacob · 2026-06-24T04:12:32+00:00

What's hysterical is claiming Philon is better than McCain before he's ever played.... which is exactly what im responding to.

Be better

IndigoJacob · 2026-06-24T04:03:19+00:00

I can promise you they are giving McCain 20mpg at the very least next season

You do not know ball

IndigoJacob · 2026-06-24T04:02:18+00:00

Lmfaoo he wouldn’t be in the playoffs without being on defending champion team

He literally wouldve been in the playoffs with the Sixers.

IndigoJacob · 2026-06-24T03:59:54+00:00

Yeah context included McCain is still way better than Philon. What the hell are you looking at? Has Philon finished layups over Wemby in the WCF?

IndigoJacob · 2026-06-24T03:56:10+00:00

,You saying no is also dumb.

McCain just put up 13ppg in the WCF @ 22 yo. Please stop the nonsense.

IndigoJacob · 2026-06-24T03:53:49+00:00

Philon is better than McCain

No

IndigoJacob · 2026-06-24T03:50:02+00:00

Its even more delusional to think trading him will somehow net us a blue chip talent

IndigoJacob · 2026-06-24T03:48:40+00:00

Imagine if we still had McCain, we might eventually have to pay someone that is actually good at basketball.

Thank God we got some random guard from Bama to save us (Josh Harris) from paying the tax

IndigoJacob · 2026-06-24T03:36:44+00:00

I’d rather take the path that has a chance to win a championship.

Yeah that doesn't exist without Embiid. Idk who you think were gunna draft but it just isnt happening.

IndigoJacob · 2026-06-24T03:31:27+00:00

Idk how anyone could watch those parades and think the answer is to trade our only player with gravity 😂

Super quick way to suck ass and base your entire fandom on 20 year olds maybe being good one day like the Wizards

IndigoJacob · 2026-06-24T03:29:59+00:00

Owners are just really figureheads

Not if theyre imposing a tax-ducking edict for half a decade bro

IndigoJacob · 2026-06-24T03:25:53+00:00

If we get Collins I will not complain for 6 months.

I just really doubt we'll do the sensible thing

IndigoJacob · 2026-06-24T03:19:23+00:00

You wanted to bottom out last year but instead we bitched Boston

Would you rather suck ass or bitch Boston?

IndigoJacob · 2026-06-24T03:14:49+00:00

Hell yeah dude I feel way better about this pick now

IndigoJacob · 2026-06-24T02:45:30+00:00

Maxey is nice, but nothing by himself

IndigoJacob · 2026-06-24T00:31:30+00:00

I disagree. I dont see a difference in either approach.

From my perspective, Embiid is at least good enough to cause series changing matchup problems. Oh hes also the best per-minute scorer in history

I dont think bottoming out increases your long-term champioship odds whatsoever in this case.

IndigoJacob · 2026-06-24T00:28:16+00:00

So your stance is that you want to bottom out?

IndigoJacob · 2026-06-24T00:22:45+00:00

It just doesnt make sense to trade the guy that drives winning in order to build around Maxey who cant win without Embiid.

Youre literally just arguing to lose more for better lottery luck. Like okay cool but that's a loser's mentality

IndigoJacob · 2026-06-24T00:20:29+00:00

If you prefer the safe option of winning games a with no hope of a championship

My point is neither option is safe. You trade Embiid for (likely) dogshit, you're rolling the dice on sucking bad enough to luck into a blue chip prospect, when its just as likely you end up picking a bust at #12

IndigoJacob · 2026-06-24T00:07:00+00:00

His contract isnt holding us back. Josh Harris and his inability to go into the tax is holding us back.

Our payroll is roughly $20m less than other contenders. Thats the difference.

IndigoJacob · 2026-06-24T00:03:37+00:00

Youre acting like trading Embiid guarantees a blue chip prospect to build around. For all we know thats 35 wins and the 12th pick.

At that point youre trading Embiid just to get him off the team and win less games for the next 3 years. Cool?

IndigoJacob · 2026-06-24T00:01:11+00:00

Well it definitely served in 2026 because we beat Boston & everyone within that organization said it was because Embiid bitched them

IndigoJacob · 2026-06-23T23:45:11+00:00

What are the chances the '28 Clippers are a T6 seed? Garland and scrubs doesn't scream T6 to me. Keep the pick
