Philadelphia now has 3 star players with Embiid, Maxey and Brown. Looks good on paper, but I?m not sure it will work out. This has always been Embiids team. Him and Maxey take a ton of shots. There is only one ball.  How is JB going to react to being a 3rd option? I can?t see him being OK with taking over the PG13 role with them. Would not be surprised if things went sideways for Philly.

At some point you have to blame the performance on the court on the players on the court. Every loss is not the coach's fault and every win isn't because of the players.

It will be Embiid's team when he is healthy.

It will be Jaylen's team when Embiid is injured.

It will never be Maxey's team. Although there may be a fight for 2nd option between Maxey & Jaylen when Embiid is healthy. Maxey will naturally have the ball in his hands more often because he is a PG. So that might create friction there.

I imagine all 3 of them will shoot 20 shots a game and nobody else will get to score. Poor Edgecombe will be lost to the selfishness of his teammates. Dean Wade doesn't like to shoot anyways. And they have no bench player that can score. So the 3 stars can take their 20 FGA.

Well, Brown wanted his own team and he's the only one on that squad with "FMVP".

It's got to be Brown's team. Embiid will need to play second fiddle. Maxey will be the #3 guy. Edgecombe the 4th man.

Our division is very stacked. New York, Philly, Toronto and Boston.
