Tyrese Maxey, JJ Redick on whether the Philadelphia 76ers can keep up with the Boston Celtics

The landscape of the Eastern Conference in the NBA is ever-evolving, and one team that has been piqueing curiosity is the Philadelphia 76ers given their current unresolved situation with star veteran guard James Harden. Can star big man Joel Embiid and the 76ers truly contend with formidable rivals like the Boston Celtics?

The uncertainty surrounding Harden’s future with the Sixers looms large. At the same time, Boston and the Milwaukee Bucks have made significant moves, the Cleveland Cavaliers have addressed their wing needs in free agency, and even the New York Knicks look set to be a formidable team. Will Philly be able to hang?

The host of the “Old Man and the 3” podcast and former Sixer JJ Redick weighed in on this topic ahead of an interview with current Philadelphia floor general Tyrese Maxey.

Take a look at the clip embedded above to hear how both see the Sixers compared to Boston and their East peers this season.
