Derek Bodner of the Athletic joins to discuss the Sixers this season. We look at whether replacing JJ Redick and Jimmy Butler with Al Horford and Josh Richardson is an upgrade, which of their young players can crack the rotation, how the Sixers and Bucks match up, whether Joel Embiid and Ben Simmons can take the next step, and make our predictions for the Sixers season.

Then in a short solo session Nate tries to wrap his head around the controversy stemming from Daryl Morey’s tweet about Hong Kong.
