Seriously though, in what world is KD and Kyrie a better duo than Embiid and Harden?


Kyrie and Durant have Championships to prove their greatness. Harden and Embiid have 0 Championship pedigree

lol the old championship reasoning, from years ago.

Kyrie last won a ring SIX years ago, and KD last won a ring FOUR years ago after joining a 73 win team.


What exactly does that have to do with now? Six years ago Embiid wasn't even playing in the NBA. Now he's arguably the best player in the NBA as the top scorer in the league and the likely league MVP.


Idgaf what KD and Kyrie did 4-6 years ago. We're talking now baby, and right now there isn't anyone better than the Embiid & Harden duo.

Don't know how I feel about this ... DeAndre has been washed and bad for a while now. Maybe a change of scenery will make him serviceable.


Yeah he won’t provide much at all but they must think he’s better than any backup center they currently have

I still don't understand why they're not giving Willie Cauley-Stein a chance?

Need to stop playing Millsap at center.

Lol there is no way Embiid and Harden are better offensively than KD and Kyrie

Both of them can literally score in any way possible.

How so?

Embiid is leading the NBA in scoring and is the most dominant scorer in the league today.

And then Harden > Kyrie any way you look at it

Embiid is leading scoring average** Tatum is actually leading the league in scoring. Edit: actually looks like it’s Derozan now.

Maybe in the regular season, then the refs put the whistle away in the playoffs like they always do and then what are you left with?

And I think we all know KD would have the lead if he played the most games.

Well KD will definitely be back by playoffs, but Kyrie is still a better offensive player in the playoffs when playing. Either way, they are both a better offensive duo than Embiid and Harden. Come on… it’s KD, he might be the best offensive player of all time.
