Check out the highlights of Episode 4 of the 76ersRoundtable podcast with Anthony Pasciolla and Anthony Aguirre:

"Let's take this conversation a step further and say they do get out of the Play-In Tournament, their likely opponents are either the Boston Celtics or Detroit Pistons," Pasciolla said. "In terms of if they can make noise against one of those teams, my answer is yes if they're healthy. When I say "make noise," I mean take a couple of games. I do not foresee them beating Detroit or Boston in a seven-game series.

Pasciolla continued, "Could they take them to six games? I believe so. Seven? That's pushing it, but against either of those teams, I could see a six-game series putting a little fear into either one of those contenders."

Aguirre chimed in, "It always comes down to this: what version of Embiid are you going to get? Because if he is going to play at an MVP level, that will shift your entire defense because then they're going to send doubles, and then Embiid can dish it out because he is a pretty good passer for a center. He has a bunch of really good shooters to throw it out to."

Aguirre continued, "Now historically you guys have not had great battles against the Celtics... but this time around if Embiid can give you at least 75%, I will give you a good shot to win that series only because of the centers on Boston's side. On the Detroit side, I think they would dominate just because Jalen Duren is going off for a great year, and there are just so many dogs on this roster that anyone can step up."

"Let's say Philadelphia doesn't sign Quentin Grimes back on a multi-year deal, he walks, he goes wherever it may be. Where does Philadelphia look to replace that guard play?" Pasciolla questioned. "Because the only two guards under contract if Grimes walks are Tyrese Maxey and V.J. Edgecombe."

"I think you would go for some veteran experience, someone who can impact right away," Aguirre said. "This might sound crazy for you guys, but I do like Gabe Vincent. I know the impact that he brings, and also I would take the Lakers tenure with a grain of salt just because we've now seen two Heat guards go to L.A. and go off for worse performances. I think he could deliver you guys some pretty good production."

Aguirre continued, "I think his three-point shooting would get back up there where it was with the Heat, and defensively you know what you're going to get out of him, and also he's way cheaper now than he was, or Aaron Holiday. I feel like he's very underrated as a backup guard. He can give you so much depth, be a decent three-point shooter, and a tenacious defender or even a Josh Okogie."

Pasciolla chimed back in, "One option we talked about before the show that I also like is the idea of potentially re-signing Cameron Payne. I mean, we saw what he's capable of just a few nights ago. He had 32 points and I think 10 assists, so he is capable of being kind of that flamethrower guy off the bench, which is something you certainly need."

"I like the Okogie move alongside that potentially. Just gives you that good balance of defense and offense coming off the bench, but I honestly would prefer them to bring back Quentin Grimes if at all possible," Pasciolla concluded.
