Maxey led the team in scoring in the playoffs. He scored more than anyone else on the team, and he did it efficiently.

Poole wasn't even a starter after the first round and was what the 4th best player on that team at best? These two are not the same rofl. Plus Maxey isn't a little cuck getting knocked out by his own teammate 😭


And Tobias declining wtf? He was GREAT defensively in the playoffs, something we've NEVER been able to say before. He's easily played the best two-way basketball of his career while doing what he had always done offensively being a good scorer. Complete opposite of declining really.


I wonder why Jordan Poole didn’t start hmmm.. Who started in place of him? I forget.. oh yeah the greatest PG of all time & top 3 NBA Player of all time WARDELL STEPHEN CURRY, but when he was starting he was dropping 30 bombs. We played him 30 + min a game anyways so the ā€œwho startedā€ stuff is irrelevant..

Secondly, it’s obvious the playoff numbers favor Poole in every single way & he came off the bench which is even more laughable. Fuck Tyler Hero, this the real bench starter.

I’m gonna ignore your ā€œLeading scorerā€ bs because no one in their right mind uses total points over PPG.

& as someone who use to defend Tobias & was one of his biggest supporters, trade him now while he has any trade value, his offensive output will only continue to go down from here, & even though he will be more efficient due to Harden, it’s not 40 million a year worth of output. Get some 3 & D guys to replace him for a third of the price. He’s aging.

Do they though?

Maxey in the playoffs: 20.9 PPG, 3.9 AST, 3.5 REB, 48.4% FG, 37.7% 3PT, 94% FT

Poole in the playoffs: 17.0 PPG, 3.8 AST, 2.8 REB, 50.8% FG, 39.1% 3PT, 91.5% FT


Poole is a year older, with a year more experience in the NBA as well.

He's aging? He just turned 30 years old like a month ago lol. He's the same player he has always been, in what world is he showing signs of aging? Tobias has never relied on elite athleticism anyway. In fact he's better defensively than he has ever been in his career and had some of the best moments of his career in this recent playoff run. It was the first time in a long time where 76ers fans actually agreed on how well he was playing at a high level.

We get it, he's not worth his contract (a lot of guys aren't though rofl), but he's still a good player, especially as the fourth scoring option which is a luxury. Will his raw PPG go down? Certainly, he's playing with Embiid, Harden, and Maxey on a team with actual depth now. He's an expiring contract next season so moving him will be a lot easier if they decide to do so. He looked pretty damn good after the Harden acquisition last season though.

….

Maxey : 40 minutes per game played in playoffs..

Poole : 27 minutes per game played…

It’s not even close… 3 Ppg diff & he did it CRAZY more efficiently.. imagine if he played 40 a game like Maxey, he woulda averaged 30 like he was when he was starting..

& no the fuck he does not have ā€œone more year & NBA experienceā€ the hell are you talking about lmao Maxey has already started in 10 more games with one less season that Poole lol!!! Poole just jumped into stardom recently & is now in another level.

I’m done talking about this unless we betten.


Again to Harris, go ahead and hold talent till they are worth nothing I guess.. šŸ™„ imagine being afraid to move an overpaid player because your not sure what your gonna get back.. Sixers best days are behind em sadly, no more bold moves.

Meanwhile my Warriors keep collecting rings.

Poole played fewer minutes, FAR fewer minutes, and you're out here trying to tell me he was clearly better or more valuable in the playoffs because his team won it all? :rofl: ...you realize fewer minutes is not a good thing, right? And the fuck he did it "CRAZY more efficiently" um, not that much difference especially considering Maxey was on the floor for 40 minutes per game (much harder to do than a guy playing 27 mpg). The nod obviously goes to the player who led his team in scoring (or #2 in PPG as you'd say) and played full games.

Not to mention during the regular season Maxey shot 49% from the field and had the third best 3PT% in the entire NBA at 42.7%, but we don't have to talk about that. ;)

And yes, Poole is a year older and has a year more experience in the NBA. This past year was his third season in the league, he had played 100+ NBA games in the two seasons prior to that. Meanwhile this past season was only Maxey's second season after playing only 15 minutes per game as a rookie but we all saw the insane jump from year one to year two with him looking like a bonafide star in the making.

Maxey will look good in the All-Star game this coming season, maybe your boy Poole too if he's lucky :thumbsup:

This is also a strange take. 76ers are arguably the most improved team in the off-season and have all the makings of a Championship team, which is pretty crazy considering they had the second best record in the East last season and that was with the whole Simmons drama and not even having a point guard most of the season.

Now they have more depth than they've ever had in the Embiid era, with actual DAWGS on the team as Proint would say. This is by far the best roster top to bottom since....well, a really long time. For the first time in Embiid's career he has a team built properly around him with shooting and toughness, no longer trying to force a non-shooting point guard into the mix.

Poole is not going to be top 10 all time player, not even top 10 Warriors all time player. He will be an all star cliber player though. Probably a Jordan Clarkson like player.



lol I’m giving an example of over celebrating the little things, like in Football whole team gets together for a picture celebration after 1 interception when when are down by 20 points :D



An all-star caliber player

A jordan clarkson type player

Pick 1
