Hey the man.

Hey the man, but not to pay the man.

That is the question as we start off on this edition of the Ph.L.Y. Sixers podcast on the Tuesday.

Welcome. Hope you all having a great day out there.

Of course, sitting alongside Derek Botner, Kyle Newbeck,

Devon Givens. Breonna is back with us. She's in the house. So you guys don't have to worry. She's here. She's

all good. She's back in the house with us. And you, as usual, here in the chat with us as we begin things.

And yes, as you saw it, right away, the question simply extension. Yes or no,

because Joel Embed, the former MVP, and of course, one of the top players in the NBA,

is in fact as a franchise player eligible for an extension because of his credentials of what

he's done over the course of his career here to set himself up to have himself in a

position to get another extension from the Philadelphia 76s. And with this one in particular,

it's coming off of, of course, his age, getting up there where he's 30 now, talking about the

money that's going to be there, salary cap implications that may be there for him and his team going forward overall.

Is it worth it and age-wise when he does sign this extension if and when he does sign

extension with the Philadelphia 76s?

What does that mean long-term for him and this organization?

So we'll talk about that, what it means, how it translates for the team overall, what it might

look like in the future as well.

But we go to, of course, the numbers man here on this, this desk here that we have.

We know who it is.

We're going right to Derek Bodden and start things off.
