 What's the word y'all welcome back to Kenny for real we exclusively talk about basketball the last couple days I've been kind of racking my brain trying to wait for something big to happen to react to but then I basically came to the Realization this morning that it doesn't really matter what I talk about as long as his basketball related They're gonna be some people that click on the video and here you are. Thank you for that So whenever there's an idea or something a team that I want to talk about a player I want to talk about I'm just gonna hit record and just publish it who cares and today's team is he 76ers I think I mentioned in the video from yesterday or two days ago when we were reacting to one free agency signing for every NBA team I think I mentioned that like the 76ers our team. I really I want to talk about so here We are like there for the third year in a row I want to say they're one of the most intriguing teams in the NBA for a little background Going into last season. They were my pick to win the Eastern Conference I was super excited about some of the things they did in the offseason and obviously in hindsight I was a little I was jumping a gun just a little bit But I think that me now at the ripe age of the old age of 24 I realize you can't just always just sign names and think it's gonna work It's not just 2k. I make a lot of 2k videos on my main channel But in real life, it just doesn't work like that So when they signed Al Horford though, I was hesitant about the length of the contract and how much money they gave him Which is still true I was happy to see him alongside Joel and B because in my mind There's not gonna be many centers in the league that can stop Joel and B to the only guy that really did pretty good at it It was Marcus saw and it was Al Horford and they got rid of Al Horford by bringing him in to buy his Harris Sure, the contract is huge and it still is huge to this day But I was like he was a piece that they needed for success and you put all that together You got Josh Richardson for the Jimmy Butler sign and trade I thought that this team is gonna come out be successful And I thought they were gonna win at East and obviously it didn't work that way eliminating the first round a lot of that Is due to the fact that Ben Simmons was injured for the playoffs. I think that is super important He was there only all NBA player this season if you did not know and he was injured for the playoffs So yes, they got eliminated in the first round, but have been sentences there I might go a little bit differently, but this offseason they have been super busy Now there's not gonna be a team that's gonna come out and make a big sign or anything because we just talked about Al Horford we just talked about to buy his Harris contracts Ridiculous and moving them is gonna be a struggle, but it's not out of the realm of possibility anymore So I made a tweet a couple weeks ago Um, I think it was right after the Dave Yeager hiring Which is kind of crazy that Dave Yeager is back as assistant coach And I was like man Elton Brands putting together this God squad of NBA coaches just to cover up the fact that he's bad at His job it was a joke, but every joke is rooted in a little bit of truth You know I'm saying Al Horford I mean Al Horford But Elton Brand gave these big old contracts to Al Horford to Tobias Harris made a couple signings It just didn't really work out and that was the part I was talking about bad at his job But part of his job is the hiring process of the coaches and stuff and so far on that He's been doing a pretty good job. So this is how busy they've been I got it pulled up right here Wow, Kenny did a little bit of research. They fire Brett Brown shout out to Brett Brown, you know there for the entire process and he just Yeah, I'm saying couldn't get him over the hump But now they bring a dock rivers who should be an upgrade who knows how much of an upgrade only time will tell They bring in Dan Burke Which is very interesting because if I'm not mistaken Darren Burke was an assistant for Indiana And when he was in Indiana he basically had a whole interview where he was like I hate Joel and B He said it like he didn't literally say that but he was like I really dislike Joel and B He gets away with so many different things that NBA players don't get away with he really just came out and said f Joel and B and now he's working with Joel and B which is super super funny And I think Joel and B even says something on Twitter about it Then they bring in Sam Cassell as an assistant coach a guy that was you know interviewed for head coaching jobs across the league And well, he ended up in the sister here We already said Dave Yeager they put together this assistant coaching pool like all three of these guys have Good resumes and they're known to be good coaches or if you they haven't been a head coach just yet We'll probably end up head coaches in the future now. They're alongside dock rivers They bring in Peter Denwitte who may not be a name that a lot of y'all know But he was supposed to come in to be like second in command for the 76ers Until Daryl Mori got hired and now Peter Dinklage Peter Dinklage. Wow. Peter Denwitte is um the third man in charge He's the third biggest voice in the front office behind Elton Brand and behind Daryl Mori So when Daryl Mori got hired I put up a tweet It was just a picture of me into my Ben Simmons jersey because I y'all know this I'm a big fan of Daryl Mori and I'm excited to see what type of stuff he can do with a new roster and Everything because it was like this good old age thing Of course there more is the king of analytics when it comes to the NBA But whose idea was it to go ultra small ball with PJ Tugger at the five was it was it Mike Dantonie? Was it Daryl Mori? Was it ownership? Was it a combination of the three? Obviously this team is dramatically different than what the Houston Rockets were last year And I'm curious to see what Daryl Mori does to the team to change it or if it's not like trading a player here There how does his analytics play coming to the fact when you have been Simmons when you have Joel and beat like I was looking at the numbers They were like bottom of the league not like that last but like 24 of 23rd or whatever and three point attempts per game And obviously Daryl Mori is it has always been a part of a team that's gonna shoot a lot of threes So I'm curious to see if they're gonna make trades or just get Ben Simmons in the gym to have him attempt the threes Or what really happens that that's something super interesting But Daryl Mori is a guy that he said he said in the interview years and years ago if your team Is has a 5% chance of winning a championship you might as well go all in and I feel as though They are going to have that type of mindset with the 76er team this team with their young stars of Joel and beat and Ben Simmons Again, they are young But I think as a fan of basketball. We are looking at that combination of players and like okay now. Let's do something Joel and beat has been arguably the best center in the league. Maybe he's top two I'll probably have your kids over him personally, but if you say you had Joel and beat I'm not saying you're wrong He's a top two center in the league when he's healthy Ben Simmons is a player that we have not seen the the mold of in a very long time He's a very good player all in me a third team this season So you have two players that are like top of their positions you want to see success, right? And last year, of course, they were one shot away from being in the conference finals If the ball doesn't hit four times and roll in they might win that game whatever But this is a team that we're ready We are ready for the process to be completed 76ers fans are ready for the process to be completed And that's what Elton Brand had the idea of when he made the signings of our whore for up to buy his hairs Getting his extension and the trade to bring in Josh Richardson for the Jimmy Butler thing That's what he had an idea of but it just wasn't Executed right and now there are more is gonna come in because from my understanding from what I've read Daryl Maury is now the head of things and then it's Elton brand So Elton brand has a new boss it's out to Elton brand for I'm not gonna say allowing this to happen But I'm sure if he would express interest of like maybe I don't want a new boss the 76ers may not have hired Daryl Maury, but I Think the Daryl Maury has a lot to work with here and this is one of this is what I mean And I don't mean that in the positive way I mean like it's going to be hard to make the changes to this team to make them a championship contender Because of the contracts of our if you're gonna trade our whore for if you're gonna trade to buy his hairs You're gonna have to attach future assets And for a team Philly fans are used to having a thousand first-round picks This might be a situation where now you're sending those pics out because you are the one that is buying in instead of the one that is rebuilding You know I'm saying so we if you're gonna get rid of our whore for you're gonna have to get rid of some contracts Some trades that I've been saying on Twitter has like our whore for for buddy healed Why would these Sacramento Kings accept that at face value? Explain to me This like like like I just don't understand it There's no way I'm trading buddy healed at to set the 76ers for just our whore for you better throw me shake You better throw me Matisse you better throw me one of those picks you have this year because this just would not be it And if I'm not mistaken they have like the 21st overall pick this year in a bunch of seconds like 34 36 49 and 52 Somebody Google that if I got all of those numbers right you I deserve a subscription from you But they have something in that realm and the 21st overall pick is an interesting one for this Just draft because if you did not know this draft is not necessarily super star Oriented but it's a lot of players in this draft that could come in and make an impact on teams So for a team like the 76ers that are trying to compete this season 21st overall pick might get them a player that they can actually Put into the rotation this year But you may have to throw that up to the to the Sacramento Kings if you really want buddy healed You may have to throw that to another team if you really want to get off some of these big contracts And I've been listening to rumors listening the podcast of people trying to explain like this is the trades I would do if I'm the 76ers and from my from what I'm seeing it is From the people I've listened to I think they're Overvaluing what Tobias Harris is on the court relative to his contract because obviously Tobias Harris is a good NBA player He's a good number three option on your team But I don't want to pay max money to a number three option if I'm any other team in a league I've been seeing people like let's go. How about Tobias Harris get traded to the Atlanta Hawks Because the Atlanta Hawks have expressed that they want to go in and try to make the playoffs Sure bringing Tobias Harris to play with Trey young probably gets you to the point where he competed for a playoff spot But do you want to be on two three years down the line and still pan Tobias Harris that contract when you also are going to Have to pay John Collins eventually and you're also gonna have to pay Trey young max money because he's Trey young I don't want to be that team I think there's probably cheaper options for the same level productivity So if I'm accepting a trade that has to do with Tobias Harris, I want more than just Tobias Harris So if but if there's anybody that is willing to make things happen It is Daryl more Daryl more he has like three or four like general managers across the league They used to work for him when he was with the Houston Rockets So he might finesse some of his other people that used to work for him And how it's happened before It's happened before I'm just super excited to see what this team looks like next season because on on the surface level this started five if I had to put some money on it the start of five of Ben Simmons, Josh Richardson Tobias Al Horford and Joe L and B will not be the start of five this offseason or this regular season I just don't think it would be it I just don't think it'd be a honestly Tobias Harris is way more effective as a four than the three and We I guess we saw that because eventually they did move Al Horford to the Benz for a lot of this season I Don't know but if there's anybody that can make things happen It is Daryl more so shout out to my boy Daryl more Shout out to Elsa brand for the coaching hires because he does deserve some loving that even though he again gave big-time money to players That probably don't deserve that They just put themselves in a weird position because they had to pay Tobias Harris at the end of the day They had to they had no other choice. It was either pay him with his bird rights or lose him into me butler for just Josh Richardson or something like that Obviously, you're probably gonna pay him because he is a good NBA player. Just you just over overpaid. I've been seeing like The idea of trading James Harden for Ben Simmons and apparently the Houston Rockets said no to that idea immediately because they want to stay with James Harden, which I If I'm Houston if I'm Houston and knowing that this team that they the current Construction of this team. There's a ceiling on it. I be hitting that reset and getting Ben Simmons for a recess sounds amazing It sounds amazing. It's only 23 24 years old He would work with the system as far as like, hey, here's a bunch of shooters I don't know how in Russia West we're convinced that this will not work together. Let's agree on that But if you're hitting the reset, you're probably gonna trade Russell Westbrook eventually to you know, I'm saying I Would do that trade Maybe I'll ask for a little bit more on top of it But I would do that trade because James Harden is a top four of his position all time 76ers Expect expect some trades that happen with that organization. This office is all I'm saying Let me know what you think about the 76ers or anything else I talked about related to this video or just drop suggestions in a comment section You want to see me talk about the bucks? Then sure I can do that for five minutes or so. All right. Thank y'all. Love y'all I'm out peace
