You Know Ball: A (Mostly) NBA Podcast

Dave Early from Liberty Ballers returned to talk Sixers draft night trade. We talked about the recent trade slop that dropped from KOC that implied that the Sixers might try to move Danny Green's contract and pick number 23 for a roster upgrade on draft night. I talked about the four guys that I would keep instead of trading the pick if they fell to the Sixers at number 23 and we discussed some other draft targets who I like but I would be fine if they traded the pick instead of keeping them. Then we ran down a bunch of trades that the Sixers could try to execute on draft night. Some are realistic trades but mostly they are just dreams that I have. We discussed why they might work, why they might not and determined how realistic they are from a scale of 1-10. Enjoy!

Chuck from the Chucking Darts podcast returned to discuss the Sixers wing targets with pick 23 including my favorite prospect who is falling down draft boards for some reason and even being mock drafted to the Sixers (!) in a few mock drafts ... LSU power wing Tari Eason. We discussed Tari's rise and fall on draft boards over the last year, his strengths and flaws, and why he could be the perfect upside swing for the Sixers if he is still on the board at 23. Next we discussed the late riser of this draft Jalen Williams of Santa Clara and why he could be a great fit on a contending win now team like the Sixers. Some other wing targets discussed included Christian Braun and Ochai Agbaji of Kansas, Jake Laravia of Wake Forest, Kendall Brown of Baylor, Marjon Beauchamp of the G-League Ignite, Nikola Jovic of Mega Mozzart and Chuck's favorite second round/undrafted free agent prospect sleeper Justin Lewis of Marquette. We also touched on a few other names as well. We ended the episode discussing the latest SLOP that dropped from Jake Fischer of Bleacher Report who reported that teams are trying to pry away 3&D wing and NBA nerd favorite OG Anunoby from the Toronto Raptors. We then debated, would you rather have the fourth pick in this draft or OG? Enjoy!

The Nets finally deferred the Sixers first round pick to next year! In celebration we drafted the first round of the 2022 NBA draft including the Sixers pick at number 23.

I was joined by filmmaker Jon Hill aka @JHillNahMean from the Super Hoopers podcast to discuss many things but mainly the Lakers crushing our dreams by hiring Darvin Ham instead of top 15 all time head coach Doc Rivers. We also discussed weird diehard Daryl Morey defenders, Embiid's tweets about Miami that made me nervous about his future, the Sixers young guys (including the untouchable Tyrese Maxey and unvaxable Thybulle) and why the NBA finals show us the value of investing in your own talent and developing them! Next we gave our NBA finals predictions and discussed the matchup between the Celtics and Warriors. After that we did the weekly around the NBA SLOP round up which included rumors about Kevin Durant, Kyrie Irving, Rudy Gobert, Zach Lavine (again) and one team that might be interested in Tobias Harris? Finally we ended the episode by discussing Jon's new film Above the Clouds that you can donate to and support below. Enjoy!

Bryan Toporek from Forbes and Bleacher Report joined me to talk a whole lot of slop including: The Nets probably deferring the Sixers pick to 2023 which means the Sixers will have a first round pick and I will have draft content over the next few weeks! The Lakers are still interested in Doc Rivers for some reason which raises the questions ... do the Sixers really wanna keep him? Trading Tobias Harris is harder than it sounds due to many different factors so is it better just to keep him? The Chicago Bulls are interested in Thybulle but what can they really give up for him? Also, we explore some fake Thybulle trades (that might have to include the 23rd pick) that could net the Sixers some rotation player(s) back. For the last 30 minutes of this episode we did a league wide slop round up and talked about rumors surrounding Deandre Ayton, Zach Lavine, Russell Westbrook, Jerami Grant, Bradley Beal, the Blazers, Kings and more!

Unfortunately the Kyrie Irving and Kevin Durant news came out after we recorded so more on that next episode.

Marty Teller made his triumphant return to the podcast to discuss all things Sixers offseason, like we always do. First, we discussed the re-litigation of the Jimmy Butler Sixers era and why there is some revisionist history with the whole situation from fans and even Jimmy himself. After that we dove into the idea of Morey "star hunting" again and talked about a few different targets who could possibly be the third or fourth star on next year's Sixers. We then discussed whether this strategy was worth it or if the team should focus on building the team's depth through free agency, trades and the draft instead. From there we discussed Harden's new (possibly discounted) contract, Tobias Harris and Matisse Thybulle trades and some targets that we would have in those deals. We finished the episode talking about our favorite free agent targets that the Sixers could target to build their depth. Enjoy!

I was joined by Zo from the Rights to Ricky Sanchez to discuss SOME FRESH HOT SIXERS TRADE SLOP. The Deal Zone king himself Brian Windhorst leaked some information about the Sixers plans to pursue a third star this offseason and why the draft lottery could effect those plans. Would the team really be willing to trade Philadelphia hero Tyrese Maxey in order to get a third star? We discussed out thoughts on that and tried to guess the third star Windhorst might be hinting at in this interview. Also we discussed: is Doc Rivers really going to be back, how the Sixers can become DAWGS, the Suns major collapse and gave our conference finals and finals predictions. Enjoy!

Well the last one was good and this one sucked ... a lot. Sixers go down 3-2 after an embarrassing performance in Miami in game five. They head back home to Philly facing elimination. I ranted a ton on this episode so hang with me here.

WHAT A WIN! Fresh off a game three win vs. the The Miami Heat to get back into the series, we discussed the man, the myth, the legend Joel Embiid and his amazing comeback and how this could change everything for the team in this series and in the playoffs moving forward. We also touched on a bunch of stuff including Danny Green's revenge vs. the Sixers crowd, Maxey's insane second half after a cold start, Tobias 2.0 making winning plays, and game manager James Harden.
