00:00Right now, just between Joel Embiid and Paul George, you have over $230 million tied up in the next two
00:09seasons.
00:09Joel Embiid's three-year contract extension kicks in now!
00:13Now!
00:14He's owed $58 million this coming season, $62.6 million the next season,
00:20and then he has a player option over $67 million in the 28-29 season.
00:26Paul George, $54 million owed next season, $56.6 million on a player option in the 27-28 season,
00:36and then if you add Maxie into the equation, he's owed $41 million, $43.6 million, and $46.4 million.
00:43So between those three players, even if they make changes to the front office,
00:48even if they make changes at the coaching position with Nick Nurse,
00:52how are you making massive changes to the personnel when you have that much money locked into,
00:59and take Maxie out of it for a second,
01:01Paul George and Joel Embiid, who are both in now the back end of their careers,
01:07Joel Embiid is coming off a season where he played how many games this year?
01:11Not many.
01:1338.
01:14Oh, but maybe the year before he played a lot.
01:1619.
01:17Oh, maybe the year before that he played a lot.
01:1939.
01:21Who would take on this contract?
01:23Who in their right mind would take on that contract?
01:25That's what you're afraid of.
01:26That's what everybody's afraid of.
01:28But, I mean, is this team going to win as constructed?
01:31I think we already have that answer.
01:33Don't we already have the answer?
01:35It's no.
01:36It's no.
01:36It's no.
