Cunningham scored 26 points and the Pistons advanced in five consecutive victories. The 76ers need to trade Embiid George.

First, Embiid has indeed become a tactical drag on the 76ers.

In the past three games, Edgecombe's scoring average has dropped from 17 points per game to 10 points. The most important reason for the plummeting data of the third overall pick is the return of the team's eldest brother Embiid.

With the two maximum salary players absent, the reason why the 76ers started their five-game winning streak was, firstly, Coach Nurse's fast-playing whirlwind, and secondly, Edgecombe's explosive performance that far exceeded expectations.

But when Embiid returned, the 76ers immediately cut back to the classic scene three years ago when John was competing for the regular season MVP. Basically, all the balls had to pass through the hands of the great. Even the second-in-command like Maxey could not adapt, let alone an inexperienced rookie like Edgecombe.

As a result, Tanhua hit the rookie wall.

So, 76 people rushed to the isolation zone.

In fact, Embiid's biggest drag on the 76ers is on the defensive end. The obvious change in the NBA this season is the acceleration. From the Trail Blazers and Suns in the West to the Bucks and Heat in the East, stubborn conservatives are increasingly letting go and chasing the trend.

And Embiid’s knees, which cannot jump or run now, have indeed been eliminated by the times.

Second, Cunningham has become the number one point guard in the Eastern Conference.

Today, Embiid did not play due to back-to-back management, and Edgecombe once again took the reins.

But as soon as the game opened, Edgecombe continued the downturn of the past three games, allowing the Pistons to score 37 points in a single quarter and shoot 5 of 10 three-pointers. The 76ers' perimeter defense was also unable to do anything.

In the second quarter of the game, the Pistons' three-point misfire failed and they only scored 17 points in a single quarter. Cunningham hit 1 of 9 in the half, giving the 76ers a double-digit lead at halftime.

In the third quarter, Cunningham fired up and scored 17 points in a single quarter, and the Pistons took a 3-point lead.

The first and third place teams in the Eastern Conference have to give way to each other, proving once again that in this season’s troubled times in the Eastern Conference, everything is possible.

Although Maxey played tough in the fourth quarter, compared to a ball-handling core like Cunningham, he was obviously still inferior. It was Cunningham's absolute control of the field in the last three minutes that allowed the Pistons to win their fifth consecutive victory.

Cunningham had 26 points and 11 assists, becoming the top point guard in the Eastern Conference.

Duren had 21 points and 16 rebounds, which is seriously underestimated.

Drummond had 17 points and 12 rebounds, making Embiid redundant.

Maxi scored 33 points and tried his best.

Edgecomb scored 11 points. He is the seedling of a classic shooting guard. He lost his confidence today. Whether it is his appearance or his playing style, Edgecomb reminds people of Butler. I hope the Blades will not follow in the footsteps of their predecessors under the 76ers' chaotic team building ideas.

In the absence of the four core players, they actually played back and forth with the No. 1 team in the Eastern Conference. This clearly shows that the 76ers have a formidable future and a promising future. However, it is precisely because of this that it proves that they made a complete mistake in bringing in George. At least for now, Watford is enough.

Toha's success in the Pistons shows that there are indeed problems with the 76ers' team culture and even feng shui. It is still difficult for this team to truly get out of the aura of the Philadelphia Eagles.

What the 76ers need to do most now is to send away one of Embiid or George. If they encounter a second fool, then send away and pick the remaining one.
