Danny Green is back for another go-around with the Philadelphia 76ers. His contract isn’t fully guaranteed but he is glad to get another shot with a Sixers squad he has a good amount of familiarity with. He spent two seasons in Philly before being traded in the 2022 offseason in the deal that brought De’Anthony […]

James Harden might be stuck in Philly for the foreseeable future. The Philadelphia 76ers star’s trade request has gone nowhere. After all of the bridge-burning he did and the shots he took at Daryl Morey, he might have to come back to the team. After being able to force his way out of other situations, […]

Philadelphia 76ers’ disgruntled star James Harden is left with few options at the moment. While he’s been adamant about his desire to be traded, the Los Angeles Clippers have walked away from negotiations with the Sixers. No other team has shown serious interest in acquiring him, which means the guard is essentially a rock in […]

The Damian Lillard trade speculation is over. On Wednesday afternoon, it was the Milwaukee Bucks who were able to land the seven-time All-Star in what turned out to be the biggest deal of the offseason. In a three-team trade involving the Phoenix Suns as well, the Bucks were able to acquire Lillard at the cost […]

The Milwaukee Bucks made things a whole lot more interesting heading into NBA training camp by landing Damian Lillard. This is bad, bad news for the Philadelphia 76ers, who now see one of their superior conference adversaries get even better. There is a way the Sixers can salvage the situation, though: bringing back Jrue Holiday. […]

The Philadelphia 76ers are a talented team that has fallen short in the playoffs for multiple years. Philadelphia is trying to build a championship roster around Joel Embiid, who won the MVP award this past season. One notable name to watch on the Sixers is James Harden. Harden opted into his player option to seek […]

The Houston Dynamo put on a show at DRV PNK stadium. It just so happened that Philadelphia 76ers star James Harden was present to see the absolute decimation of the Inter Miami squad. The US Open Cup Finals saw two stars absent for the herons as Jordi Alba and Lionel Messi could not play. But, […]

Blockbuster deals are the best type of trades, especially when they come out of left field. That’s what happed Wednesday afternoon when the Milwaukee Bucks swooped in out of nowhere to swing a massive trade with the Portland Trail Blazers for seven-time All-Star and All-NBA player Damian Lillard. Shams Charania of The Athletic laid out […]

Point guard Jrue Holiday was part of the return sent from the Milwaukee Bucks to the Portland Trail Blazers in the Damian Lillard trade that was announced on Wednesday. So, for now, Holiday is a Blazer. But for how long? It sure seems that Portland only acquired Holiday for his trade value. The odds are […]

Jayson Tatum is getting set for his seventh season in the NBA with the Boston Celtics, and once again, him and his team have high expectations for the season. In recent years, the Celtics have been a consistent contender, but they haven’t been able to get the job done yet. After some big offseason contract […]

Things are going to look different for the Philadelphia 76ers in the 2023-24 season — but not for the reasons you’re probably initially thinking about. Aside from all the potential James Harden trade possibilities, new coaching staff and additions of new players, the Sixers are guaranteed to look different because their primary jerseys are changing. […]

The Philadelphia 76ers have had an offseason full of drama after being eliminated in the second round of the playoffs. Their starting unit this season could look different with the changes to the roster. The big question mark is James Harden, who opted into his player option to seek a trade. Philadelphia has not found […]

Team USA could make a push to craft a team that will rival the 1992 Dream Team. LeBron James has already signified his interest in joining the 2024 Paris Olympics squad, which means that other superstars are likely to follow suit. One person in particular has an uncertain future when it comes to international basketball […]

Over two months have passed since James Harden opted into his contract with the Philadelphia 76ers for the 2023-24 season with the intention of receiving a trade to his intended destination — the Los Angeles Clippers. Alas, things haven’t exactly gone according to plan for The Beard. With only a little over a month to […]

The Philadelphia 76ers are rumored to be in the running for one of the best shooters in the NBA! But, it is not the one many Sixers fans have in mind. Shams Charania of The Athletic delivered news that Buddy Hield and the Indiana Pacers would be working together on a potential trade after the […]

Kelly Oubre Jr. has proved that he can be a reliable role player for any NBA team. In fact, throughout the years, he has carved out a lengthy NBA career, having had stopovers with the Washington Wizards, Phoenix Suns, Golden State Warriors, and the Charlotte Hornets. Oubre recently agreed to sign with the Philadelphia 76ers […]

The Philadelphia 76ers don’t officially play basketball again until Sunday, October 8, when they face the Boston Celtics in TD Garden after a week of training camp at Colorado State University’s Moby Arena.

With the Philadelphia 76ers set to officially begin their training camp on October 3, the time to reach a peaceful resolution with James Harden is running out. Many fans expect the 10-time All-Star to strong-arm the Sixers into a trade, but it seems that his preferred destination of the Los Angeles Clippers is no longer […]

The Philadelphia 76ers have needed wing depth all offseason and waited until there were just a few weeks left until training camp to make veteran additions in that position. Kelly Oubre Jr. is the Sixers’ latest addition after they brought back Danny Green. Oubre agreed to a one-year, minimum deal with the Sixers, giving him […]

Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid is one of the faces of the NBA’s new rules regarding stars taking off games. The Sixers will face fines if they rest their superstar center on certain games and will face more rest restrictions if James Harden suits up (which is also heavily incentivized by the new rules). Embiid […]

The Philadelphia 76ers have landed a capable scorer on the wing with superstar James Harden’s future with the franchise still in limbo.

Paul Reed’s role with the Philadelphia 76ers has grown each season since being drafted 58th overall in the 2020 NBA Draft. With the Sixers in dire need of depth heading into the 2023-24 season, Reed is in for a huge season. The Sixers have mostly asked the same of Reed as they have with all […]

As training camp fast approaches, it seems increasingly unlikely James Harden will get his wish of a trade to the LA Clippers. Daryl Morey and the Philadelphia 76ers’ refusal to accept a mediocre return for the future Hall-of-Famer, though, isn’t the only obstacle that could prevent Harden from playing the 2023-24 season in his native […]

It felt like eons ago when Damian Lillard’s trade request from the Portland Trail Blazers went public back on July 1st. ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski has reported that the Miami Heat are Lillard’s preferred landing spot. But it’s been 2.5 months and there has been zero movement on that trade front whatsoever. There hasn’t been much […]

The Philadelphia 76ers’ plans for a new arena are entering a crucial stretch. The Sixers hope that their proposed arena, 76Place at Market East, will soon be approved by the Philadelphia City Council. However, the exact time for when that would happen is being pushed back. Although the Sixers are not planning to move into […]

The James Harden trade saga must be the messiest situation in the entire NBA right now. Of course, it once again involves the Philadelphia 76ers. There’s no knowing how this situation will end or how long it will even take. But one thing is for sure, James Harden does not want to be a Sixer […]

As the 2023-24 NBA season approaches quickly, James Harden and Damian Lillard are both not where they want to be. They each requested trades from the Philadelphia 76ers and Portland Trail Blazers, respectively, but have yet to get their wishes granted. Both stars demanded the trade with a specific destination in mind, making it harder […]

It’s no secret that Milwaukee Bucks superstar Giannis Antetokounmpo isn’t the greatest free-throw shooter. That’s why he jumps at every chance to practice his shooting from the charity stripe, especially after a bad game. Last season, The Greek Freak was 4 for 15 from the line against the Philadelphia 76ers in November and proceeded to […]

Boban Marjanovic and Tobias Harris are two of the most charismatic players in the NBA. They also happen to be best friends and arguably the best “bromance” in the league. Currently preparing for his 13th NBA season, Harris has been a part of five different organizations and has played alongside 150 different talents through the […]

John Wall deserves another shot at the NBA. Sure, Wall has dealt with an unfortunate string of injuries throughout his career that derailed his athleticism. But even if he is just a shell of what he once was, there is still enough talent in that 6-foot-3 frame of his that can still help a championship […]

With the 2024 Paris Olympics less than a year away, speculation has begun as to which NBA players will be representing their countries next summer.

After its failure to capture a medal at the 2023 FIBA World Cup, Team USA is looking to bounce back next summer. With a flurry of stars rumored to be interested in suiting up for the 2024 Olympics in Paris, the program is hoping to lure Philadelphia 76ers big man Joel Embiid, too. Embiid has […]

If the Philadelphia 76ers are marginally better in the 2023-24 season than they were last year, it’s probably due to new head coach Nick Nurse. The Sixers’ roster is in disarray with the uncertainty surrounding James Harden and the key bench players they failed to find surefire replacements for. They’re hoping Nurse can use the […]

The Sixers have had their fair share of high draft picks in recent years, and it’s safe say that there’s been a mixed bag of results from those hauls. But for all the misses in that time, there have been a couple of notable hits – well, at least one, and harking back further than […]

James Harden’s drama with the Philadelphia 76ers has led to a ton of speculation and curiosity about the future of the franchise. So much so that many have begun questioning Joel Embiid’s future with the organization. Embiid is under contract in Philadelphia through the 2026-27 season, as his four-year, $213 million contract is set to […]

There’s no doubt the New York Knicks are keeping close tabs on Joel Embiid as his long-term future in the City of Brotherly Love potentially hangs on the precipice.

James Harden’s future with the Philadelphia 76ers remains uncertain following his trade request. He’s faced backlash during the offseason amid yet another trade request.

Before Dennis Rodman suddenly became an international diplomat or the father of a rising star with the U.S. Women’s National Team, the Chicago Bulls legend crossed paths with Philadelphia 76ers coach Nick Nurse under unique circumstances in the United Kingdom. Recalling his brief tenure coaching Rodman with the British Basketball League’s Brighton Bears in 2006, […]
