The Ultimate Joel Embiid Fantasy Trade

Disclaimer: Before you get further ahead, please be aware that I am in no way suggesting the 76ers should trade Joel Embiid. I personally believe that Simmons and Embiid should be allowed more time to figure things out. In no way, shape or form am I proposing that they trade Joel Embiid. Ok, now you […]

Potential small-ball lineups the Sixers should explore

The Sixers are big. They’re really big…but enough of that storyline.

What if the Sixers new lineup doesn’t perform as expected?

The Sixers once again have championship aspirations after adding Al Horford and Josh Richardson to their already blossoming core. Elton Brand has created a super-sized lineup that projects to be a defensive juggernaut in the upcoming season.

Shake Milton could give Sixers a boost next season

The Sixers will presumably be looking to add cheap pieces to their roster if their plan to resign Tobias Harris and Jimmy Butler goes smoothly. However, they may already have a cheap contributor on their bench in the form of Shake Milton. Milton is a 6’6 combo guard, drafted 54th overall in the 2018 NBA […]
