00:00What's your reaction to the youngster, Maxie, taking charge?

00:07I guess he's the leader now in Philly, telling Embiid how things should be.

00:13You know, we were just talking during the break, and I just talked about it on the podcast

00:16that will come out tomorrow.

00:17But really quickly, folks, you can look at it one of two ways, right?

00:22As an organization, you love the fact that a guy that's, you know, maybe a top 20 player

00:28in the NBA, based on how he played, particularly in the playoffs last year against the Knicks,

00:32is not afraid to call out the established superstars that's making over $50 million

00:38a year.

00:39So I love the fact that a point guard is willing to go to his big man and say, yo, like, you're

00:44not doing the right thing.

00:45You're not—you're coming in late.

00:46You're not serious.

00:47We're trying to win a championship here.

00:49You got to dial it in.

00:51But then there's the other side.

00:53To me, where is Nick Nurse?

00:56Where is Daryl Laurie?

00:57Where is the 38-year-old Kyle Lowry?

01:01Where is the 34-year-old, you know, Paul George?

01:05Where is the 36-year-old Eric Gordon?

01:08These guys want to win championships.

01:10So they should be looking at Georgia and be like, yo, we came here to play with you.

01:14We wanted to win a championship with you.

01:17You got to dial it in.

01:18So it'll be interesting to see what happens with Philadelphia sitting at 2-11.

01:22Listen, we knew that they had to stay healthy.

01:25We knew it.

01:26But now it starts to make me wonder, why did Philadelphia even allow this guy to go to

01:31the Olympics when the Clippers didn't let—kind of pulled Kawhi out, right, in so many words.

01:38And the Warriors didn't let Andrew Wiggins go play for Canada.

01:41Philadelphia's got to get their you-know-what together or they're going to be in trouble.

01:44And you know, in Philadelphia, if you start losing, they will turn on you real quick.

01:49Do you think they'll regret giving Nambito all that money?

01:54I mean, there's always going to be buyer's remorse.

01:56I mean, listen, here's the thing, Pharrell, you told us two years ago when you got robbed

02:00of the MVP.

02:01Which Embiid are we going to get?

02:02Are we going to get that one?

02:03Or the one that was great during the running season before he got hurt?

02:04Or are we going to get the one now that looks like the Phoenix and Cleveland Cavs version

02:11of Shaquille O'Neal?

02:12Like, which one are we going to get?

02:13Because if we get that one from Cleveland and Phoenix Shaq, that ain't going to be

02:17a good look.
