    On a scale of 1-10, how excited are y'all to watch Embiid, Saric, Sergio Rodriguez, Okafor, Noel...maybe Simmons, this season?

    More interested in watching them than the Rockets?

    Eager to see if the process has finally come together?

    before simmons got hurt I was interested in seeing them play because they needed a player of his caliber on the perimeter to add to the team. Now that he likely won't be healthy for this coming season not so much. Philly will still be a really bad team.

    I mean...not very?

    They'll be fun but they'll win like 30 games. As a Kansas fan...seeing Embiid will be cool, though.

    I was a lot more excited before Simmons got hurt, but I didn't think they'd be great this year. It's actually in a way kind of fortunate the 76ers top picks have had so many healthy problems with their top picks. It's allowed them an excuse to continue tanking and getting picks. Philly will probably have another top lotto pick this year.

    I'm hyped up for Embiid and Saric mainly but I just can't. It's very ugly basketball. I will watch a half here and there during the season if the other team is interesting as well. There are far too many good games and beautiful basketball to be played than watching blowouts with tons of turnovers bad ball movement no defence and lots of bricks. Embiid Saric and Simmons are not good enough reason to regularly watch this team at this point. If they had much better guards perhaps. But not Bayless.

    I will sure watch more of them than the snoozefests of Utah Grizzlies or Knicks though. I can't believe Lowe put the Knicks so high in the league pass rankings.

    More excited to see what pieces come off that team and if any will come to Houston. Doubt it, but still interesting to see. I doubt they keep everyone this year.

    Young, dumb, talented teams are always less fun to watch than you expect. Frustrating if you're a fan of the team, frustrating and kind of pointless if you're not.

    That said, I live in Philly so I'll probably go to a few more games than I usually do.

    I'll watch them because after the elections, the Trump comedy show would be over and I'll need a new comedy relief. Sixers will step in and fill the void.

    I'm hyped for the Suns, that's such a sleeper team. Booker is the light-skinned Kobe and they have nice depth.

    I'm confused at how much people underrate the Suns this year. Recency bias perhaps? I don't see how they will be that bad as they are predicted.
