Sixers podcast: Joel Embiid speaks his mind on Ben Simmons

This episode of The Sixer Sense Podcast brings discussion to the edge of the start of the regular season. With so many topics to talk about, including Ben Simmons drama, we are excited to open up with the conclusion of Sixers training camp.

Lucas Johnson and Christopher Kline begin the podcast with conversation related to how Doc Rivers felt about the final days of training camp. We dissect Rivers’ comments about Tyrese Maxey and the second year guard’s development going into the new season. We jump also touch on the coach’s comments about key players sitting out the majority of preseason.

A new NBA (pre)season is upon us. What is the Sixers’ current outlook? What did Joel Embiid have to say about the recent Ben Simmons report?

Once we wrap up training camp, we explore what we expect to see in preseason. Whether it is Maxey displaying more true point guard skills or Andre Drummond’s back up center impact, we discuss the 76ers preseason outlook.

After we finish that topic, Lucas and Chris analyze Joel Embiid‘s comments about Ben Simmons. While some may speculate that the two stars can still coexist, the controversy surrounding his candid remarks related to Simmons’ recent hard feelings leaves a lot of room for doubt from Philly fans’ perspectives.

From there we move onto another interview involving a former Sixer, J.J. Redick. The podcast dives into his comment that he wished he would have returned to the 76ers instead of going to New Orleans.

We round things off with another Ben Simmons topic. We present a hypothetical scenario where Simmons returns to Philly at the start of the season. We bring up what the Sixers’ fans reaction would be, along with what his teammates would likely feel after such a dramatic offseason.
