@SixersAdam Adam, we need to aim a little higher. One or two guys will drop from the late teens and the Sixers should be ready to pounce on them. The talent matters more that the fit. I’m looking at a group of Morez, Swain, Graves, maybe Carr, Steinbach, I could even see Lopez or JQ falling
@StephNoh@lemontttttt Tatum at the 5 leaves Hauser or Schierman on PG… mismatch…. ISO. Probably more likely one of them plays the 5 to leave Tatum on Paul. Comes down to Drummond dominating the glass and shot making.
No Jamie Vardy today which is a shame. But Benito Mussolini’s great-grandson is on the bench for Cremonese. There’s a certain irony about him being a left-winger
It’s also red hot
Sixers owner Josh Harris hasn’t even had to say “no comment” because Philly media isn’t asking him any questions. We let him get away with a single vague statement from a spokesperson. Fans have said he’s been MIA at home games since he emerged as a much bigger figure in the Epstein files than he initially let on, which is a story in itself if true (I can’t independently confirm that). Philly journos, if you need a headline, how about “Where in the World Is Josh Harris?” Give him the opportunity to explain himself on record and answer questions, or print that he declined the interview request. #SellTheTeam
Thank you for ruining a feel good Sixers season, Daryl Morey.
It’s always about analytics, math, trends, data, statistics, and never about the human nature and cultural element of basketball.
That’s why he’s never won anything.
There are three of Daryl’s draft picks in that window who are playing rotation minutes on the two best teams in the league, Isaiah Joe, Paul Reed and Jared McCain. Daryl willingly gave up on all of them. The 2025-26 Sixers are currently struggling with their roster depth
Daryl Morey hit on one guy falling in the draft (Maxey) in 2020. Between then and the 2025 draft then he’s drafted one player currently on the roster, Adem Bona 2024, who is a competent backup center about half of the time
Daryl Morey built a consistent contender in Houston without tanking, then took over the Sixers, drafted an All-NBA player at No. 21, and has a team now that’s well-positioned despite dealing with some sort of Voodoo injury curse. He’s a very good GM.
This would be a nice time to bring up that Maxey is playing the most mpg since Monte ellis in 2010, has only missed 2 games, and leads the league in distance travelled. They are playing their 5th in 8 days and tomorrow will be their 6th in 9 days. At some point he needs some rest
Scott Drew only knew of VJ Edgecombe by word.
The Baylor head coach told me, "He was in Italy, playing in a tour or a tournament. They couldn't find him, they're waiting to check into the hotel. He was with the baggage, reading his Bible."

"Listen guys, if I'm going to war, I'm taking VJ Edgecombe."
"He told me right before the ball tip, 'I'm going to kill this kid.'"
A feature story - full of stories and anecdotes you didn't know - on the person and competitor, VJ Edgecombe.
