Ladies & gentlemen, your newest Philadelphia 76er Mr. Anfernee Tyrik Simons…
He ranked 6th in the NBA in 3’s made off the bench & will give this team EXACTLY what we need. He picked Philly over Golden State, Miami & Dallas. Unreal.
Welcome to Philly, @AnferneeSimons 🙌🏽
Jaylen Brown's statement after being traded from the Boston Celtics to the Philadelphia 76ers:
First and foremost, thank you to the Most High, even in the midst of adversity. I'm here with gratitude.
I’m still processing how this all went down. I’m excited and disappointed at the same time. I earned my respect from this city. I never asked for shortcuts or special treatment. I simply showed up every day, put my head down, and accepted every challenge.
The relationships I built here, the battles we fought together, the championship we brought to this city, and the connection I shared with the fans, I’ll carry on with me.
Saying goodbye isn’t easy when you’ve invested your heart into something.
I’m big on respect and actions speak louder than words. To the people of Boston, thank you. To the community I built here I love you, and to the shiftaz we are locked in for life⚡️
As one chapter closes, another begins.
I’m excited for what’s ahead and grateful for the opportunity to join Philadelphia. Every city has its own identity, its own passion, and its own expectation. I respect that, and I’m looking forward to earning that respect the only way I know how.. through the work.
Philly - throw the ball up let’s get it!
@JimIkeHW Gotta ask. Twitter saying the NHL hates the Flyers and the Flyers we’re gonna have all this money the next two years including this year and they went and published the cap space for the next three years so teams can keep their players knowing the cap space 3 years from now
@AidanLaPorta69 Can they do sign and trades with both Grimes and Oubre jr.? If so does that fall under the Bird rights whoever they receive in the sign and trade?
@SixersAdam Can you explain what is Hard capped at first apron? Does that mean they can’t sign anyone anymore? Or does it mean they’re gonna get Severely taxed or penalized
@avappleyard@NHLFlyers I agree should have went with Lin instead of trying to get extra picks. But I think Montreal swooped in right before us. Maybe that was their pick and decided to trade
@BroadStBull Hey Sam What do you think of the other picks so far two defenseman two goalies? I thought I heard the second goalie backed up the first goalie somewhere.
