Episode 1770
Who would you rather be for the next 5 years: the 3-12 rebuilding Toronto Raptors, or the 2-12, should-be contending Philadelphia 76ers? In Episode 1753, Sean Woodley is joined by Trill Bro Dude (You Know Ball) to talk about the Toronto Raptors and Philadelphia 76ers, buddies at the bottom of the Eastern Conference, who are there for very different reasons. Off the top, Sean and Trill get into the Sixers' struggles and life under Nick Nurse for Sixers fans, and why it's maybe already resembling the last couple years of Nurse's time in Toronto. Next, they chat about whether the Raptors or Sixers are better set up for the next five years. For the Sixers, the argument is obvious, they have Joel Embiid, who while maybe in physical decline is still the best player between either team, and Tyrese Maxey, who's already a borderline All-NBA guard despite a rough start to this season. The Raptors meanwhile boast youth, growing functional depth and some avenues to acquiring an Embiid-level stud in the draft, or through the development of Scottie Barnes, maybe. Lastly, they chat about Trill's read on Immanuel Quickley and why he's higher on IQ than consensus, before digging into the enigma that is RJ Barrett. Is he as good as he looks on his best nights? And how does he fit into the mix once the Raptors start to get healthier and, eventually, as they look to make the jump into being competitive.
