NBA passes 3-2-1 NBA Draft Lottery reform
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” […]
Post-combine NBA mock draft roundup
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 […]
Depth, development and where the Sixers go next
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 […]
Editor-in-chief: POBO candidates, Knicks in the Finals, NBA Draft looming
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 […]
Nick U’Ren has earned a look from the Sixers
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 […]
Poll: Does the Knicks’ sweep of Cleveland make you feel better about the Sixers’ exit?
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 […]
Tyrese Maxey earns first All-NBA honors with 2025-26 third team selection
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 […]
The Jared McCain trade is the deal that keeps on stinging
The Philadelphia 76ers have made many terrible transactions during my lifetime as a fan. (Some good ones, as well. I am old and eventually things pile up on both sides of the ledger.) I count trading Jared McCain to the Oklahoma City Thunder as one of the really bad ones. When the deal went down, […]
Tyrese Maxey enters offseason looking to adjust to life as a No. 1 option
Tyrese Maxey has done nothing but get better year in and year out. In his rookie season, Maxey was every bit the part of a small guard drafted outside of the lottery. He had a few brilliant flashes, but only started eight games in 2020-21 and averaged just over 15 minutes a night. While he […]
Amidst organizational chaos, at least the Sixers have VJ-Maxx
It feels like just yesterday Sixers fans were in ferocious debates over who the team should select No. 3 overall in the 2025 NBA Draft. The team ultimately took VJ Edgecombe out of Baylor. There was also a sector of the fan base who contemplated what the Sixers could get in a Tyrese Maxey trade […]
VJ Edgecombe named to 2025-26 NBA All-Rookie First Team
No surprise here, the Sixers’ rookie is getting recognized for his stellar inaugural season as a pro. Philadelphia 76ers guard VJ Edgecombe has been named to the NBA All-Rookie First Team, the league announced on Wednesday night. The other First Team rookies for this season are Cedric Coward (Memphis), Cooper Flagg (Dallas), Dylan Harper (Spurs) […]
Hand Vince Rozman the keys
Once upon a time, the Sixers held NBA Draft workouts which were open to the media. Back when Sam Hinkie was running things, those workouts took place at PCOM in a tiny gym not befitting of an NBA franchise. Plenty of talented players came through that building. It’s where Ben Simmons had his pre-draft workout. […]
Who should the Sixers target with their first-round pick?
The Sixers’ offseason is now in full swing, and the 2026 NBA Draft lottery and combine are now in the books. With the 2026 NBA Draft just over a month away, let’s take a look at my top three potential draft targets who make sense for the Sixers in the first round. Morez Johnson, PF, […]
One year later, Quentin Grimes enters another murky free agency
Quentin Grimes’ audition with the Sixers for the 2025 free-agency class couldn’t have gone much better. He averaged 21.9 points in 28 games on 46.9/37.3/75.2% shooting splits. He also bore no responsibility for the team’s record over that time as they began to pile the roster with G-Leaguers and journeymen from overseas in a tanking […]
Tracking the 76ers’ search for a new president of basketball operations
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 […]
The Sixers have their issues, but the 2025-26 group was resilient
Undoing the goodwill of a 3-1 series comeback to beat your biggest rival in a playoff series for the first time in nearly 45 years is hard to do, yet it feels like the Sixers did so in the span of a week. Getting thoroughly trounced in the second round by the New York Knicks […]
5 Sixers thoughts on Tobias Harris’ Game 7 clunker, the fan base and more
The Sixers may be done for the season, but Sixers fans are never out of things to talk about. I’ll share a few in my latest “Sixers thoughts” column… Tobias Harris showed what he was truly made of in Detroit’s Game 7 loss As the playoffs progressed, I read so much online about how Tobias […]
A few reported candidates emerge for Sixers’ president of basketball operations job
When talking to Sixers media for the first time last week, Bob Myers said he’d like to have a new front office boss in place by the 2026 NBA Draft on June 23. Myers, a longtime executive with the Golden State Warriors and the president of sports for HBSE, is currently running basketball operations for […]
Just how attractive is the Sixers’ president job?
The calls for Daryl Morey’s ouster got louder and louder in the 48 hours between Philadelphia’s elimination from the NBA playoffs last Sunday and his official firing on Tuesday. In the span of just over one week, the Sixers managed to come from 3-1 down against the Boston Celtics on the heels of their star […]
What fans can expect under the Sixers’ new leadership structure
When the Sixers decided to part ways with former president of basketball operations Daryl Morey, there was plenty of debate amongst the fanbase as to whether a new front office group would really change all that much. When plenty of blame falls at the feet of ownership, it’s easy for the wires to get crossed […]
5 takeaways from the Bob Myers-Josh Harris presser
It’s been a tumultuous few days for the Sixers’ organization. Then again, those days all ended in “y.” Two days after the ownership group made the decision to part ways with Daryl Morey after six seasons, managing partner Josh Harris and HBSE president of sports and former Golden State Warriors executive Bob Myers spoke to […]
Sixers 2026 NBA mock draft roundup
Fresh off another drama-filled lottery, the league has turned its attention to the NBA Draft Combine, with the 2026 class shaping up to feature some of the best depth in years. Prospects are getting their measurements updated and putting themselves through agility tests, workouts and scrimmages. With mock drafts popping up from reputable sources and […]
It felt like the league had passed Daryl Morey by
Daryl Morey’s tenure as Sixers’ president of basketball operations has come to an end. He will be remembered in Philadelphia as another key figure who couldn’t get over the hump that is the second round of the playoffs. He leaves the Sixers in a very similar situation to how he found them. The Joel Embiid […]
Paul George’s future will be a key decision for Sixers’ next top executive
The offseason has just started for the Philadelphia 76ers, but we’ve already seen a major shakeup, with Daryl Morey out as President of Basketball Operations. Whoever Bob Myers selects to fill the position will inherit some promising pieces, especially the backcourt of Tyrese Maxey and VJ Edgecombe, but also some challenges. Something that slants more […]
5 candidates to replace Daryl Morey as Sixers’ president of basketball operations
The Sixers on Tuesday made the decision to part ways with president of basketball operations Daryl Morey after six seasons. Morey’s tenure had plenty of highs and lows, but he ultimately failed to reach the Eastern Conference Finals, something the franchise hasn’t done in over 25 years now. Bob Myers, who serves as president of […]
