Talks at MBA because we got like like the in season tournament schedule. We got news involving this guy's favorite team the Philadelphia 76ers a lot of stuff going on in the association. Maybe a little Eagles talk as well with our guy Alex Christiansen better known to you and yours.

Nubes.

From Bet U S's MBA cover John Twitter at underscore nubes one of our favorites here on the show nubes welcome back to you better you bet Nick and Ken how's it going?

Gentlemen, it's so nice to hear both of your voices. It's a beautiful day in the neighborhood James Hard news behaving poorly, but what do you expect?

Baving poorly is one of it's not not a lot of superstars. Yeah, not a lot of superstars go to China China and then be like yeah the guy who like runs the team is a liar.

And people like what like no, let me just say that let me say that again.

He's Darryl Mori is a liar.

I think a lot of people are now kind of don't really know how this is going to resolve itself.

Obviously, Harden really wanted to play for the Clippers and made that very known. Now it seems like they're going to still try to go into the season with him on the roster, which sounds like a disaster.

Nubes, what's your best guess for how this plays out? Where where does Harden end up? How messy does it get does it actually affect how you want to bet the sixers this season as well?

It is a really confusing situation. I've been under the assumption even before all this stuff that they would find a way to get James Harden off the team.

He seemed unhappy most of last season, even when there's playing well on the playoffs.

What I will say is, you know, last time an NBA player tried to play a game of chicken with Darryl Mori, he lost. We saw what happened with Ben Simmons.

This is a little different though given how, you know, openly upset heart has been here, but I still like this team.

I think that it's really deep. Now, if you lose somebody like James Harden, you know, either he sits out the whole season, which I don't think he's going to do given some of the new rules from the CBA where he doesn't get to become a free agent unless they're able to trade him and bring back in another guard.

The sixers become pretty senate guard, but if they can trade him, even for a couple pieces, I know that, you know, what the Clippers have passed around really hasn't been all that exciting.

Again, if you could find a way, maybe to entice and descend your parents, man, or get a couple wings basically to fill in and hand the keys over to Tyree's back to somebody.

I know the three of us talked a lot about before last season got injured at the beginning of the season, but finished very strong.

It's a good basketball team. Now, the underlying thing with all that is, is Joe Ellen beat happy?

I think that for the most part, he is. He's done some posturing, taken Philadelphia office social media, having a weird press conference and stuff.

But I expect him to go into the season hard and probably not playing and it's still to be a pretty good basketball team.

Now, it makes it tough to bet on the sixers overall.
