Honestly have no idea what we’re arguing about anymore.
For the next month before the 2026 NBA Draft, we’ll take an in-depth look at different prospects here at Liberty Ballers and try to figure out which players would be the best fit for the Sixers at No. 22. Next up in this series is Baylor’s Cameron Carr. Carr is coming off a breakout season at Baylor, where […]
By any objective measure, Jabari Walker’s first season with the Philadelphia 76ers was a success. Signed last July to a two-way contract after spending three seasons with Portland, Walker ended up playing an important role for a Sixers team that often found itself thin in the frontcourt. He appeared in 64 regular-season games for Philadelphia, […]
For the next month before the 2026 NBA Draft, we’ll take an in-depth look at different prospects here at Liberty Ballers and try to figure out which players would be the best fit for the Sixers at No. 22. Next up in this series is Iowa State’s Joshua Jefferson. After spending two years at St. Mary’s, Jefferson transferred […]
Following reports last week, the Sixers made official the hiring of Mike Gansey as their new president of basketball operations. The former Cleveland Cavaliers general manager will speak to the media next Monday, June 8, at 10 a.m. Josh Harris released a statement: “Today’s announcement of the hiring of Mike Gansey is an important step […]
It was an up-and-down season for the Philadelphia 76ers in general, but especially so for Trendon Watford. The 25-year-old forward appeared in 53 games for the Sixers this season, starting in seven and averaging 16.3 minutes a night. Opportunity was far from consistent for Watford, though, as he worked in and out of the rotation […]
It’s the battle we’ve all been waiting for: Julian Champagnie vs. Landry Shamet with a title on the line. Former Sixers roster miscues aside, this NBA Finals should be a fun one for a neutral observer. The New York Knicks steamrolled everyone in the Eastern Conference (including a certain team from the Delaware Valley) on […]
For the next month before the 2026 NBA Draft, we’ll take an in-depth look at different prospects here at Liberty Ballers and try to figure out which players would be the best fit for the Sixers at No. 22. Next up in this series is Michigan’s Aday Mara. The Sixers have a bevy of options and avenues they […]
The Sixers were at the forefront of the sensation that was the 2025 rookie class. They immediately slotted No. 3 overall pick VJ Edgecombe into the starting lineup on opening night and played him 35 minutes a night. Edgecombe’s production correlated with team success all season as Philadelphia made it back to the playoffs and […]
If you’ve ever found yourself falling in love with a draft prospect’s athletic traits, you’re going to like Karim Lopez. He’s pegged as a prospect that could go anywhere from the end of the lottery to the mid 20s. Lopez has enough glaring weaknesses to create some division in opinion amongst talent evaluators while also […]
The Sixers sure did corner the market on mid-first-rounders from the 2022 draft. While the team’s biggest addition of the 2026 trade deadline may have been converting Dominick Barlow from a two-way to a standard NBA contract, it at least gave them more flyers to take for the rest of the season. After Barlow was […]
Welcome back, friends. Multiple reports indicate the Sixers will hire Cleveland Cavaliers general manager Mike Gansey as the next president of basketball operations. I’m cautiously optimistic about the hire. The word is he was a big part of the Cavs’ drafting and development of players, something the franchise did very well. It also sounds like […]
For the next month before the 2026 NBA Draft, we’ll take an in-depth look at different prospects here at Liberty Ballers and try to figure out which players would be the best fit for the Sixers at No. 22. First up in this series is Michigan’s Yaxel Lendeborg. Lendeborg is coming off a stellar season, combining strong individual […]
MarJon Beauchamp was the last player the Sixers acquired before the 2025-26 season began. After the final preseason game, the team waived Emoni Bates and signed Beauchamp to an Exhibit 10 contract. He spent the majority of the season in the G League playing for the Delaware Blue Coats. In 19 games for the Coats […]
The Sixers have a new front-office boss. The team will reportedly hire Cleveland Cavaliers general manager Mike Gansey as president of basketball operations, per ESPN’s Shams Charania. Gansey was one of four candidates — including Minnesota Timberwolves GM Matt Lloyd, Phoenix Mercury GM Nick U’Ren and a lone internal candidate in Jameer Nelson — reportedly […]
Kelly Oubre Jr. had yet another season of showing up consistently when the Sixers’ competitiveness was often all over the place. In 31.5 minutes per game through the regular season, he averaged 14.1 points on a career-high 58 true shooting percentage, 5.0 rebounds, 1.6 assists and 1.4 steals. Oubre’s well and truly proven his strengths […]
The Philadelphia 76ers are on the clock. After parting ways with Daryl Morey, the franchise has tasked Bob Myers — President of Sports for Harris Blitzer Sports & Entertainment — with running basketball operations in the interim while leading the search for a new President of Basketball Operations. Myers has set a (soft) target of […]
Last time we checked in, the Philadelphia 76ers had four leading candidates to fill the president of basketball operations position formerly held by Daryl Morey: Mike Gansey, Nick U’Ren, Matt Lloyd, and Jameer Nelson. However, per reporting from Marc Stein and Jake Fischer in today’s Stein Line Substack, that list now appears to be down […]
As the Sixers prepare to make the 22nd pick in the 2026 NBA Draft, we want to bring up another name that Philadelphia drafted in the 20s within the last decade. It just so happens that Landry Shamet is still playing basketball as the 26th pick by the Sixers in 2018, now with the Knicks and playing […]
Per ESPN’s Shams Charania, the NBA has passed a number of changes to the NBA Draft Lottery, effective for the upcoming 2026-27 season and lasting through at least 2029. The “3-2-1” lottery moniker is a slight misnomer, as the bottom three teams will receive “2” lottery balls each. Spots four through 10 will receive “3” […]
While the Sixers continue to search for a new president of basketball operations, the 2026 NBA Draft quickly approaches. Bob Myers said he hopes to have the next hire in place before the draft. Even if he’s able to do so, that new president will have less than a month to prepare for the selection […]
In watching this year’s conference finals, it’s apparent how woefully ill-equipped the Sixers were for a deep playoff run. Sure, I will never forget the sheer euphoria of slaying the Celtics after rebounding from a 3-1 series deficit in the first round this spring, but cold water got thrown on that fun quite quickly given […]
It’s been a minute, friends. After some time to digest things, I’m back with a mailbag. We’ll make this a weekly thing again now that the Sixers’ offseason is in full swing — with a lot of business to attend to. The most important first step for the Sixers is finding a new president of […]
Think of an imaginary basketball team — good, but not good enough to make serious noise in the postseason. Not bad enough to have a realistic shot at a top draft pick. A few stars on the roster, but most of them on the wrong side of 30 and headed quickly into the twilight of […]
For the first time since 1999, the New York Knicks are heading to the NBA Finals. The Knickerbockers completed the sweep of the Cleveland Cavaliers in the Eastern Conference Finals on Monday night with a 130-93 victory. After Game 1, when New York made an incredible fourth quarter comeback to then win in overtime, the […]
From the 21st pick in the draft to one of the 15 best players in the league. The NBA has announced their All-NBA teams for the 2025-26 season, revealing that Tyrese Maxey has been selected for the first time in his career. He joins Jalen Duren, Chet Holmgren, Jalen Johnson, and Jamal Murray for those […]
