Are the Sixers… too good?

Answering the question that we definitely expected to be asking one week into the 2025-26 NBA season.

And with Carter being more of a slot CB, does that mean more Cooper DeJean on the outside?

Jovan Alford @jovan10.bsky.social · 18h

With the Eagles reportedly adding Michael Carter II to presumably be their CB2, I wonder what that means Adoree’ Jackson and Kelee Ringo.

Could the Eagles flip Ringo for a pass rusher? I doubt that Jackson has any value.

Here's how badly Michael Carter II wanted to join the champs: Sources say he agreed to delete the $5M guaranteed for injury in his 2026 contract year to complete the trade to the Eagles.

Ian Rapoport @rapsheet.bsky.social · 18h

The Eagles are trading for Jets versatile CB Michael Carter II to fill a need for them, with WR John Metchie III heading to NYJ in the deal.

In all:
-- Philly gets Carter and a 2027 7th rounder.
-- New York gets Metchie and a 2027 6th rounder.

It will be very interesting to see how CJGJ looks in the slot. His numbers last year in coverage at safety were not okay (62.2% completion percentage allowed, 89.0 pass rating, and 8 TDs allowed) despite having 6 ints.

Don’t think Kelly Oubre has been talked about enough. Through four games he’s averaging:

17.8 PPG
6.5 REB
1.8 APG
1 STL
1 BLK
0.8 TO

On 51/45(!!)/94 splits. He’s taken five threes per game too. Not bad for a guy who got a lot of grief in the offseason…

Barlow/Walker will likely be in and out of the rotation with G League season coming up, so it will be interesting to see how they manage their nba time on 2-ways.

And I’m with you on Embiid. As long as Drummond and Bona do their thing, they’ll be good. We still haven’t even seen Broome yet.

Great story Bryan! I’m really interested to see how they look at full strength in the coming weeks.

The 2024-25 Sixers didn't get their fourth win of the season until after Thanksgiving.

For the last 10 years, the Sixers have revolved around Joel Embiid on both ends of the court.

That's no longer the case. And that might make them even more dangerous in the long run.

Wild stat from @nbcsportsphiladelphia.com: Tyrese Maxey has 150 points through four games. Only Michael Jordan (3x lol) and Russell Westbrook have scored more in their team's first four games since the merger.
