Yeah, let's talk a few hoops. Here's a lot of things going on, including some others in the draft that you'll give us in this as well, but let's start here with the whole Philadelphia 76ers Doc Rivers was fired today.

0:17.0

They have the 76ers search for new color me shot. I know. Uh, not Rivers fired. Uh, Woltzbaum says that they're looking at Mike Boutin-Holzer, Sam Kaseo, Mike D'Antoni, Nick Nurse, Frank Vogel, and Monty Williams.

0:34.0

Kevin Ali, not Kevin Ali, not Charles Lee, none of the best and choices are on that.

0:40.0

Or on that. No, it's a flag on me. What what Philly's biggest problem is. And again, they may they always bet on the wrong horse. They didn't keep Jimmy Butler. They kept to bias Harris.

0:52.0

They go out and the Ben Simmons thing falls apart. They choose James Hardin. They go out. They make a trade on draft night. They had McHale Bridges, whose mom worked at the arena, I believe. I think she worked.

1:06.0

He was all crying and happy. Right. And guess what? They went out and got Jair Smith, who had some like a south of the gold problem and was out of basketball in two years.

1:15.0

They've made so many bad choice. That's why it's such a lazy take to do. Oh, I guess the process is dead. Oh, they've made 78 million bad choices post process.

1:25.0

It doesn't matter who the coaches. They've wasted largely Joel and Beach pride. Now they got to figure out who they're going to pull with them.

1:33.0

And at some point, if it wouldn't inconvenience Tyrell Maxi, could you get a left seriously? How long are you going to be in the league when you can't go to your left? This isn't high school.

1:49.0

My bad. I actually watch games. Sorry. No, he doesn't think people notice it. It's hard to not to when guys are hedging out on you. I'm just going. Here's the deal. You're not going right. Well, let's you go. Right. We'll put cones out there. You don't left all day.

2:06.0

But at one point in the game in Philly, Tatum basically said, here's the other side of the floor. Go over there. And Maxi's like, uh, he should spend the summer with his right arm tied behind his back. Everything left.

2:23.0

I don't think that would be figured out by now. Dude, and again, Doc Rivers, he's a big game bomb. Go look at him and close out games.

2:31.0

For infinity. He's horrific. He is awful. Another guy who has offer in big games is James Harden. His future is up in the air. According to reports, other than Houston, he says Phoenix is a team that he's looking at.

2:48.0

It is on his radar. Oh, good. What are they going to do? Pam and sunshine and smiles. They don't have any money.

3:00.0

And second of all, in the words of Steve A Smith. And I can't do the imitation. James Harden basically assassinated his contractual hopes this summer with that performance in that series.

3:13.0

Oh, but what about the 42 about it? What about this? When they needed a most he wasn't there. The dude's a bomb. That's every game seven. I am and Doc Rivers. Never show. Here's the other idea. He's no spring chicken.

3:28.0

No, all right. The Houston days five, six years ago now. He's not the same guy. Doesn't have the same bounce. Doesn't have the same explosion.

3:36.0

What, let me ask you a question. If James Harden called you and said, help me. I'm poor. And I want to play for your team. What would you, what would you offer him as an MBA GM? What would you offer?

3:51.0

Offer filly. No, no, no, anyone. James Harden calls you begging to play basketball. Go ahead.

4:01.0

Honestly, yeah, I probably just clear out the bench and some draft picks. No, no, it's a free agent. He's a free agent. This is what I would do.

4:09.0

Damn it. Damn it. Offer him one of the eights right here.

4:14.0

No, thank you, sir. Look at like an edible arrangements. You dip it in chocolate. There you go. You're number one, James. Our Coney.
