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.

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.

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 […]

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.

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.

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.

But as much as Harden tries to paint […]

Barring a last-minute change in developments, the Philadelphia 76ers’ James Harden conundrum will be brought into training camp.

The Joel Embiid-led Philadelphia 76ers should have broken through to the Eastern Conference Finals now, at least according to one NBA insider. ESPN expert Stephen A.

James Harden is no longer interested in being with the Philadelphia 76ers and claims that Daryl Morey lied to him about an extension this summer, which led to his trade request. But, according to Rachel Nichols, there’s one main reason the guard wants out of the City of Brotherly Love. Nichols, who just joined FS1’s […]

Philadelphia 76ers head coach Nick Nurse knows his baseball. More specifically, the new Sixers mentor knows how to do Craig Kimbrel’s signature setup on the mound.
