00:00But, I mean, how do you look at Joel Embiid right now?
00:03Well, if I'm Joel Embiid, I'm saying I just got the best lifeline I've ever had.
00:09Like, I was going to, me and my team were going to be irrelevant for the next few years.
00:16I'm going to get in the best shape I've ever been in.
00:23And everything, like, the Sixers, if Joel can play at an elite or an all-star level,
00:29they're probably the best team in the East.
00:32Like, you look at the way this thing, okay, let's talk about tandems.
00:38Scottie Barnes and Kawhi are going to be a problem.
00:44Jalen Bronson and Towns are a problem.
00:47But then you go Maxie and Jalen Brown, they're in that conversation.
00:53Who else got a better one-two punch than the Sixers?
00:58I mean, Maxie, I love Maxie.
01:01And, like I say, Jalen Brown was probably the MVP for the first half of the season.
01:05Probably, I think he finished fourth or fifth.
01:08But they got a terrific tandem.
01:11But, like I said, to get back to your point, if I'm Joel, this might save his career.
01:17Because he ain't got to be the best player.
01:20He's just got to try to stay healthy.
01:22So, this is a great lifeline for him.
01:26Because the Sixers were going to be stuck with his contract the next four years.
01:30They wasn't going to be able to trade him.
01:32I think, I mean, we're all surprised they were able to get rid of Paul George's contract.
01:38But he's making $50 million for another two years.
01:41And he's an aging player.
01:42So, man, I think Joel and Tyrone, Tyrese, they got to be the happiest two dudes in the NBA right
01:51now.
01:52Because they were going to be irrelevant.
01:54The Sixers were irrelevant.
01:56The Sixers were irrelevant two weeks ago.
02:00And now, because you're like, okay, the Knicks are going to be, they're the champs.
02:06Boston was going to be good with Tatum and Brown.
02:09The Hawks are up and coming.
02:12Kawhi and Scottie Barnes are a terrific tandem.
02:15I love Scottie Barnes.
02:16I think he's probably the most underrated player in the league.
02:18And the Sixers, like, who else?
02:20Orlando was going to be better.
02:23The Wizards are probably going to be better with Anthony Davis, Bianca, and Trey Young.
02:29Now, the Sixers, when they walk into any gym now, like, we got a chance of having the two best
02:36players.
02:38And I'm not even counting Joel, when you take Tyrese out there and Jalen Brown, when they walk in any
02:44gym, like, we probably got the best two players in the gym.
