Liberty Ballers: for Philadelphia 76ers fans

JOEL HANS EMBIID HAS RETURNED TO SAVE THE SIXERS SEASON & I COULD NOT POSSIBLY BE MORE EXCITED ABOUT IT. I chat all things Embiid, his return in a win against the OKC Thunder, Kelly Oubre Jr showing up big time, the odds of the Sixers moving into 7th for a possible matchup with the Milwaukee Bucks, Maxey, Lowry, Melton, Buddy & more on the Sixers side. I also discuss the phenomenal weekend of college hoops we just witnessed. Caitlin Clark being absolute 1000% must see tv, Angel Reese and LSU, JuJu Watkins and USC, Paige Bueckers and UCONN and everything about all of them. I also dive into the mens Final 4 & why I hope NC State and DJ Burns ride this hot streak one more week. A-Rod botching the Wolves sale, NCAA blowing it as usual, give Luka the MVP, Edey isn't a lottery talent & so, so much more!

Kelly Oubre Jr. cements himself in Philadelphia sports history with one of the single greatest postgame rants towards the refs that we've ever seen. I chat about the current state of the Sixers while they await the return of the MVP, an outlook of the rest of the regular season, Draymond Green making Steph Curry cry (literally), the Caitlin Clark hate solidifies her GOAT status, sports betting and gambling has already taken a wrong turn (SHOCKER), I make my Pat McAfee Show debut, people continue to confuse me with newly signed Denver Broncos WR Josh Reynolds on Twitter, Sweet 16 preview and so much more!

There's the calendar new year.

There's the lunar new year.

... and there's the new year that happens every year in Philadelphia 76ers land. It is the day where we ultimately come to hear the news that Joel Embiid will be sidelined with a serious injury that will cause him to miss multiple weeks/months of an NBA season. This time, after seemingly forcing himself to play in the game against the Golden State Warriors, Embiid has now been diagnosed with a meniscus injury. At the time of this recording, it is unclear if it is a tear or something less severe. One thing is for sure. The big man will be out for a period of time.

Who's to blame for all of this? The answer is the usual cast of characters. It's on the Sixers for not putting their foot down and protecting their franchise cornerstone. It is on Embiid who forced himself to play despite evidence that he shouldn't have been out there against the Warriors. It is on the NBA for implementing the 65-game minimum rule for in-season awards. It is on media types like Kendrick Perkins and/or Stephen A. Smith who pushed a narrative in one way or another that got into Embiid's ear. There is plenty of blame to go around. It is a potluck of blame, and so many deserve to have a nice big plate of dinner.

Embiid's season may (or may not) be over, but the Sixers season continues. Tyrese Maxey is playing at a (confirmed) All-Star level as the guard has been named to his first All-Star Team, but what does the team do now? As always, it depends on the doctors' evaluation of Embiid's knee to ascertain how serious an injury it is and how much time he will miss. The strategies for the season have changed with the trade deadline weeks away and the Sixers owning a top-four spot in the Eastern Conference. As great as Maxey has been, the Sixers may not have the firepower to defeat the Boston Celtics or Milwaukee Bucks in a playoffs series (let alone the talented teams in the Western Conference).

THERE ARE NOT ENOUGH WORDS IN THE ENGLISH LANGUAGE TO ACCURATELY DESCRIBE HOW I FEEL ABOUT WHAT WE WITNESSED. Joel Hans Embiid. 70 piece. History. Simply amazing. I dive deep into the single greatest offensive performance that I've ever seen, how it stacks up historically, what it means for Embiid's 2024 MVP case & marvel some more on the performance. I also talk KAT, Wemby, why it's more than ok to appreciate greatness even though it's January, this weekends round 2 matchup with Jokic & so much more!

On today's episode of the Out of Site Podcast, Adio Royster has to eat a little bit of crow as the Philadelphia 76ers defeat Nikola Jokic and the Denver Nuggets 126-121 in South Philadelphia this past Tuesday. (For context, Adio continues to state that Jokic is the best center in the NBA followed closely - his words - by Joel Embiid). Embiid played well. Tyrese Maxey threw in another excellent night in close to 43 minutes played, and stop us when you've heard this: "Tobias Harris has been looking good in the month of January".

All of this to say that the Sixers are looking very interesting as a potential contender for the NBA Championship this year, buyers at the NBA Trade Deadline in a few weeks, and an intriguing team to watch in the off-season with all of the potential cap space and assets that General Manager Daryl Morey was able to acquire with the James Harden trade. The Indiana Pacers sent a few players and draft picks to the Toronto Raptors for Pascal Siakim, so that deletes one name from the list of potential targets the Sixers could be trading for. Do the Sixers go after a different potential third star or work the margins and make a ripple or two somehow with buyout possibilities like Charlotte Hornets forward Gordon Hayward or Atlanta Hawks guard Patty Mills.

The Sixers could still be in the market for Chicago Bulls guards Zach Lavine and Alex Caruso as well as Atlanta Hawks guard Dejounte Murray. We'll have to see what Daryl has planned in a few weeks. In the meantime, let's gobble up and eat some more of these wins!

JOEL EMBIID IS THE BEST BASKETBALL PLAYER ON THE PLANET. PERIOD. Joel Embiid makes his return to action with back-to-back 40 pieces in wins against the Rockets and Nuggets & I just can't get enough of it. The timing of Embiid's return could not have possibly been better, with the Birds crushing our hearts this weekend, but we aren't going to talk about that... I discuss Embiid's dominance, his now 6-2 overall record against Jokic, why NBA players have nothing but amazing things to say about Joel despite 12 year olds on Twitter bashing him, Paul George showing love, KD showing love, Jokic showing love... You love to see it. I also chat the Utah Jazz hot streak, NBA trades heating up, the Grizzlies with the worst injury luck ever, the nightmare that are the Golden State Warriors, the Clippers extending their guys & so much more!

The happiness of last week's podcast is all but gone now that Philadelphia 76ers big man Joel Embiid has missed the last few games with a knee injury.

Adio Royster and David Early express frustrations with the Sixers coaching staff (seemingly) continuing to mismanage Embiid's minutes based on his health. After an awkward landing against the Minnesota Timberwolves, Embiid continued to play and now hasn't been in the lineup since the January 5th game against the New York Knicks. He will miss tonight's game when the Sacramento Kings come to the crib in South Philadelphia, but with a handful of significant games (two against the Denver Nuggets and one game each against standings chasers Indiana Pacers and Orlando Magic), how detrimental will that decision be? The Sixers are currently 2-7 on the year when Embiid is out, and Tyrese Maxey (who has been playing out of his mind, lately) can only carry the team so much on his 6'0" frame.

After the break, now that OG Anunoby has been traded to the Knicks since the last podcast, Adio and Dave go through the potential tier list of players who the Sixers might want to think about targeting come the trade deadline. Toronto Raptors forward Pascal Siakam is a name that continues to swirl around the league, but now, Atlanta Hawks guard Dejounte Murray has also come up as a potential target for some teams. Will the Sixers make some kind of move to widen the championship window this year or keep calm and carry on this season in order to have more options this upcoming offseason?
