Keyboard warrior丨Effective recruitment? Oubre joins 76ers, fans: Keep Harden out of the East
According to Woj, free agent Oubre is expected to sign a one-year contract with the 76ers. In 2022-23, Oubre played in 48 regular-season games for the Hornets, averaging 20.3 points, 5.2 rebounds and 1.1 assists per game.
With Harden unsure whether he will remain in Philadelphia, Oubre's addition is undoubtedly a big addition to the 76ers' guard line.
Take a look at the buzz among the fans:
My 76ers tough on NBA 2k24 so Kelly Oubre Jr bout to make me Unstoppable
My 76ers didn't do well in the NBA 2k24, so Kelly Oubre Jr. made me unstoppable
How much help does Embiid need??? Still won’t make the ECF
How much help does Embiid need??? Still can't enter the Eastern Finale
Damn if harden stays they definitely making it to the finals… there’s no other way
Damn, if Harden stays, they'll definitely make it to the Finals... There is no other way
Bad news for the Hornets. Kelly gave them a solid point guard. He's not afraid of going to the hoop and gives every effort game after game.!

He doesn't defend, so he's not really a needle mover for me. His three point shooting is 32% at best. Oh well. Just another reason for me to watch the Pistons and the Pacers this year.
He doesn't defend, so for me, he's not an actor who really needs to be needed. He shot just 32 percent from three-point range at most. Oh. That's another reason I watched the Pistons and Pacers this year.
76ers finally have a man who can carry the team in the Playoffs.

Understandable. He got tired of waiting for something that's not likely to happen any time soon.

WHO’S STOPPING US??
Point guard: Maxi, shooting guard: Harden, small forward: Butler, power forward: Harris, center: Oubre, sixth man: Embiid. Who can stop us?
Great. We got Nick Young Jr. Another loser ballplayer to go along with Beverly. Morey is really gonna make me hate this team.
That's great. We got Nick Young Jr. Another rotten player partnered with Beverley. Morey would really make me hate this team.
i promise you yall will hate him after the first 2 weeks of the season
I promise, after the first two weeks of the new season, you'll all hate him
As long as there's no illusions about who they're getting, it could be a good signing if Harden stays or goes.
As long as they don't have illusions about who to get, whether Harden stays or leaves, it's a good signing.
2nd worst TS% among all small forwards last year btw
By the way, last year all small forwards had the second-to-last true shooting percentage
People criticizing Oubre for “Empty stats” last year don’t understand the full story. He played the role the coaches asked him to due to injuries and improved defensively. Solid pick up by the Sixers, he’s going to have some moments
Those who criticized Oubre last year for "flashy data" did not understand the full picture. Due to injuries, he played the role that the coach asked to play and improved on the defensive end. The 76ers are looking for reliable players who will have some moments of performance
Smart move
Should get a lot of playing time .
Is harden coming back?

That's great news! Kelly Oubre Jr. could be a key addition to the 76ers, bringing his scoring ability and versatility on the wing. Looking forward to seeing how he impacts the team!

Embiid watching Oubre take the shot instead of throwing the entry pass nearly every time
Embiid watched Oubre shoot, not pass
Big move I can see them coming out the east if harden stays
A big step, if Harden stays, I can see them play out of the East
I like this move a lot too. He at least have the athleticism to avoid being outclassed by Brown and Tatum.
The question is: if in a role of slasher and spot of 3 shooter, can he score efficiently enough?
I also enjoyed the signing. He has at least the athleticism to avoid being overtaken by Brown and Tatum.
The question is: is he scoring efficiently enough as a breakaway and three-point shooter?
