I'm I'm Oh, look at the final day of the first final week of the Sixers off season, and we get underway on this Friday discussing some backups.

Welcome to the P.H.L.Y. Sixers podcast, along with Derek Bodner, Kyle Newbeck, I'm Devon Givens. Brianna is always here

producing the show and all of you on this lovely Friday where it's raining outside and people

are miserable because there's no sun. It'll be back. Including us. It'll be back. Don't worry. It'll be

back. But good to be with you on this on this Friday. A lot to get to when we talked so much yesterday about looking at the landscape of the NBA with the playoffs going on right now without the Sixers. We're used to being in the second round right now with that basketball team. But earlier than usual, when we get to evaluate what's going on with the rest of the teams. It was fun discussing and going with the back and forth with you all about how the team

should shape things out.

But now we get on to another part of how the team should be shaped out when Darrell

Mori and Elton Brand and the rest of the front office look at things and try to put this team

together.

Joel Embed missed another handful of my handful, Kyle's handful, Derek's handful,

quite a few handfuls.

And yours out there of games once again.

And they did so without a backup that they really probably felt like they trusted to continue

to win with Tari's Maxie being the headliner with Tobias Harris and others. But that big man

position once again coming into question the minutes not only when he was

gone but also in the playoffs when he was on the floor and we discussed so much

about non-Juelan B minutes how do you win those minutes? speaking about that, we wanted to talk a little bit about the backup position because

it seems like it's more important here in Philadelphia than not to say that it isn't in

other cities for other teams and organizations, but certainly here with Embed, his medical

history, how gritty is as a basketball player, but if he's not available,

it's really tough for the 76ers to win without having a viable backup there.

So a name that came about that Kyle and Derek and I were discussing in Bree as well before the show was Jonas Valenciunus because the report Kyle came out from Michael Scott Oof Hoops Height.
