The NFL sent a memo to all teams Friday, asking them to hold a moment of silence Sunday as part of the pre-game ceremonies in memory of the late Cowboys defensive end Marshawn Kneeland.

The moment of silence will be followed by a message read in all NFL stadiums that says, If you or someone you know is struggling or needs emotional support, please call or text 988. The Suicide and Crisis Lifeline is available 24-7 to help.

Ultimately, should the Sixers decide to add a third star, they need to surround the team with depth, which begins with the rookies selected in the 2024 NBA Draft.

Recap of the 76ers' Draft Night🧵

G Jared McCain
A 6'2" athletic guard that shot 41.4% from 3 and had 3 30-point games last season, which led all NCAA Div 1 freshman. He averaged 18.0PPG, 7.1RPG, 4.0APG and 1.5SPG for Duke, and will be a solid defender/shooter in the backcourt.

The moves that Philly can make this offseason🧵

#1 Sign/Trade for Paul George
The most coveted asset this offseason, Philadelphia is at least a threat to steal him from the Clippers, whether it be by signing him outright (assuming he opts out) or a sign-and-trade occurs.

[🔔Sixers News @EverythingSixer]

Signing multiple players to very team friendly contracts on a shorter term may allow Philly to be flexible in the future for when the next disgruntled star (Jimmy Butler, KD, etc.) seeks a trade. This move, although less flashy, still gives the Sixers a competitive roster.
