Bryan Toperek from Forbes, Bleacher Report and the NBA Podcast returns to discuss the draft including our reactions to the Russell Westbrook trade, how it could effect a potential Bradley Beal trade and the Sixers selections of Jaden Springer, Filip Petrušev, Charles Bassey and undrafted free agent Aaron Henry. We also discussed Ben Simmons still being a Sixer and whether we think he could start the season on the team due to the lack of interest from around the league and the reported underwhelming returns. Next Bryan explained why a Kyle Lowry sign and trade to the Sixers is highly unlikely due to salary cap rules which could lead the Sixers to looking elsewhere for a veteran point guard. Lastly we discussed a few different targets that the Sixers could go after in trades and free agency.

We recorded this during the draft from picks 16 - 30. Please hang with us during any technically difficulties and lulls. It was my first time using Twitter Spaces and we were just riffing baby. Listen to our live reactions to every pick including the last 20 minutes of the podcast if you want to hear my insane reaction to the Sixers selecting my number one target Jaden Springer. Thank you.

Mark Schindler from Premium Hoops returns to the podcast to discuss the Sixers strategy in the 2021 NBA draft. We discussed the philosophies of trading late first round picks for win now veterans vs. keeping your late first round picks and developing players in house. We also touched on a few of our favorite prospects that the Sixers could nab with the 28th pick (if they keep it) including Jaden Springer, Sharife Cooper, BJ Boston, Jared Butler and more. If you want to hear me talk about other draft targets Tre Mann, Deuce Mcbride and Bones Hyland listen to the episode from two weeks ago with Kevin Rice. Lastly I discussed my favorite trade targets that the Sixers could land if they decide to trade the pick.

Last week we discussed a few different trades involving Ben Simmons but what if the market isn't there for a Ben trade? Dave Early from Liberty Ballers joined me to discuss the reported Malcolm Brogdon for Ben Simmons trade that the Sixers declined and a few other options including some Tobias Harris trades, George Hill trades and packaging some of the Sixers young talent to get back a fourth player to play along side Ben, Tobias and Embiid. Lastly we read a few of your favorite trade proposals submitted from Twitter. Enjoy!

Bryan Toporek (@BToporek) joined the podcast to discuss the good, the bad and the ugly when it comes to Ben Simmons trade this offseason. This included potential shoot for the stars type trades, Ben's fit issues for rebuilding and contending teams, and why a third team will likely have to be involved to make a trade work. We ranked potential destinations by tiers and discussed how a Ben trade could effect the Sixers others plans moving forward. Enjoy!

Cliff from SI6 (AKA Sixers in 6) stopped by the podcast to discuss the Sixers disappointing game four against the Atlanta Hawks who are not a real or serious franchise. We talked Embiid's historically bad second half shooting, Ben and Tobias needing to step up, frustration with Doc's gameplan down the stretch and and how the Sixers can get back on track in game five and six as they attempt to close out the series. After this we touched on potential Eastern Conference Finals matchups with the back from the dead Milwaukee Bucks and the injured Brooklyn Nets. Enjoy!

Long time friend and former guest MDelNBA rejoined the podcast to talk the first two games of the Sixers-Hawks series. Topics included Doc Rivers frustrating decisions, Shake Milton's breakout game that we all totally saw coming, Ben Simmons stuff again, and Embiid just being unstoppable. Lastly we leaned into Nets doomerism as we talked about the Sixers chances against them in a series. Apologies for all the Bill Simmons and Ryen Russillo talk.
