Sixers Podcast: Joel Embiid’s contract, Kyle Lowry’s free agency

The Sixer Sense Podcast welcomes the NBA offseason now that the league is done playing games. We begin this episode talking about the NBA Finals.

Looking back at the matchup between the Milwaukee Bucks and Phoenix Suns, the podcast breaks down how Giannis Antetokounmpo was able to dominate in Game 6. Lucas Johnson and Christopher Kline also reflect on Milwaukee’s overall achievements coming out the Eastern Conference and whether or not they will be the favorite team to win it all again next season.

Joel Embiid will soon be eligible for a big extension. Can the Sixers comfortably pay him $200 million?

After the Finals talk is done, Lucas and Chris offer thoughts about Joel Embiid‘s eligibility to receive a hefty salary increase in a contract extension from the Sixers. Due to his making an All-NBA team, the Sixers’ big man could see a $50 million dollar paycheck in the final season of his next contract. We discuss whether it is an easy decision of the 76ers front office, or if there’s some reluctance due to Embiid’s health history.

Next, they cover a familiar topic that popped up in the middle of last season. The podcast dives into more free agency talk, specifically when it comes to Kyle Lowry. Now that the season is done, will Kyle Lowry consider playing for Philly?

We have some fun in the next segment, where we compare two NBA players in various categories to see who is superior in terms of skills and signature moves. For example, we ask who has the better floater? James Harden or Trae Young? Also, who is a better scorer? Bradley Beal or Devin Booker?

The social media midweek poll offer Sixers fans to express their feelings about the Bucks winning the NBA Championship.
