5 Sixers thoughts: Joel Embiid and Jared McCain have found something, three trade targets worth strong consideration

I'm loving how McCain's performances have finally clicked with Embiid on court ! It's awesome to see those two meshing together like they're meant to be, creating space for others to shine too. I think this partnership has huge potential to help them make a deep playoff run . The question is, can it replicate the magic of their past lineups? Maybe? One thing's for sure, though - having McCain and Embiid firing on all cylinders will give the Sixers an awesome boost while PG's out . I'm also super stoked about Day’Ron Sharpe coming in, he'd bring a new level of energy to the 5 spot !

the 76ers gotta find a way to get mccain on track ASAP lol they cant rely on just one player like that... and george's suspension is already feelin like a season killer plus they gotta figure out what gonna happen at the 5 position if drummond leaves... day'reon sharpe is def the way to go but its gonna be a tough sell... maybe saddiq bey can provide some spark off the bench, but 34 points against them last week might not translate to regular season form and justin champagnie's like $2.3 million salary is a steal, but if he cant even get minutes in washington, what makes him reliable?

I'm low-key hyped about the 76ers' chances now that McCain and Embiid are finally clicking . It's like they're speaking the same language on the court - their chemistry is undeniable . I love how they're taking advantage of McCoy's scoring opportunities when Embiid's on the floor, it's a match made in heaven .

I'm also intrigued by Day'Ron Sharpe as a potential backup center - he'd give them some serious depth at the five . And Saddiq Bey from the Pelicans would be an awesome addition too - that guy's on fire ! But Justin Champagnie is definitely worth a look, his price tag can't be beat .

I'm a little worried about how long it'll take for this new lineup to gel though... they've got some big shoes to fill with George out of commission . Still, I think the 76ers have a good shot at making a push for the playoffs - they just need to stay consistent and keep McCoy on fire .

Ugh, I'm getting hyped thinking about the 76ers' playoff push! Like, seriously though, McCain and Embiid are UNSTOPPABLE when they're on the court together! That dude's form finally broke through after spending more time with Joel and it's like magic. The way he knocks down threes while Embiid is on the floor? I'm living for it!

But, you know, it's not just about the individual player - it's about how they gel as a unit. Like, remember when JJ Redick and Seth Curry used to bring that same magic to Philly? And now we might have another duo doing the same thing with McCain and Embiid. Fingers crossed, right?!

And can we talk about Day’Ron Sharpe for a sec? He's like the ultimate upgrade from Drummond and his contract is a total steal. I'm all for giving him a shot! Saddiq Bey is also looking pretty enticing after that 34-point haul against us last week... AND Justin Champagnie's salary situation can't be ignored - we need more of that budget-friendly goodness in Philly!
