The Portland Trailblazers are 33-46 and 13th in the Western Conference standings, staring another trip to the lottery in the face.

In order to capitalize on Lillard’s greatness, the […]

PHILADELPHIA — The Philadelphia 76ers spoiled Matisse Thybulle’s homecoming with a win, though it did not come easy against the former Sixers wing and his Portland Trail Blazers. It took a game-winner from Joel Embiid to seure the win. Not only did Embiid lead Philly to victory but he also got the best of Thybulle […]

With the Philadelphia 76ers, Matisse Thybulle was supposed to reach his trajectory as a 3&D player. Thybulle just didn’t shoot as much as the Sixers would have liked him to. Over the course of about three and a half season with the Sixers, Thybulle averaged only 2.2 attempts from three-point range. Since he was traded […]

Although there’s no guarantee that Thybulle will re-sign with the Blazers […]

Another hectic, eventful NBA trade deadline is now over. The Philadelphia 76ers ended up making just one move, which was centered around a swap of Matisse Thybulle for Jalen McDaniels. It’s a move that could work out for the Sixers but is far from a hugely impactful one. The Sixers’ only move on deadline day […]

Back in early 2022, the Philadelphia 76ers were under intense pressure to fulfill three-time All-Star Ben Simmons’s long-standing trade desire before the NBA trade deadline.

Daryl Morey and the front office won’t stop working […]

It’s no secret the Golden State Warriors want to add another two-way wing at the trade deadline. Realistic options low as February 9th fast approaches, though, the defending champions are apparently eyeing a player whose positive impact is limited to the defensive side of the ball—albeit in sometimes spectacular fashion. The Warriors have engaged in […]

The Philadelphia 76ers will be one of many busy teams at the NBA trade deadline. As they look for upgrades, there are a few players that could be used in trades. One such player is Matisse Thybulle and the Sixers already have one team interested in him. Thybulle has been seen as someone the Sixers […]

The Philadelphia 76ers have performed well this season. In fact, they currently sit as the second-best team in the Eastern Conference with a 30-16 win-loss record. Does that mean there’s nothing to fix or address here? Of course not. The Sixers can, in fact, try unloading a non-performing asset and getting under the luxury tax. […]

Despite having very few resources, the Philadelphia 76ers might be searching for bench improvements come the trade deadline. Keep in mind, however, that save for one 2029 first-round selection, they are restricted in what they may trade. In fact, they would probably be better off holding on to that pick for the time being. In […]

The Detroit Pistons currently find themselves at the bottom of the Eastern Conference, and that likely won’t be changing anytime soon. Even with a bunch of young talent on their roster, the Pistons don’t have the depth needed to be a playoff contender anytime soon. Plus, they could be without their star guard Cade Cunningham […]

During the past offseason, the Philadelphia 76ers bolstered their lineup around stars Joel Embiid and James Harden by acquiring De’Anthony Melton from the Memphis Grizzlies and prying away PJ Tucker from the team that eliminated them in last season’s playoffs, the Miami Heat. However, as a result, Matisse Thybulle, one crucial fixture of last season’s Sixers […]

The 2022-23 season is a very important one for Matisse Thybulle.

Continuity is a blessing for Philly. […]

Philadelphia 76ers youngster Matisse Thybulle is one of the most unique players across the NBA. The Sixers wing makes eye-popping defensive plays that few guys can replicate. Despite standing just 6’5″, Thybulle has an impressive 6’11” wingspan he uses to wreak havoc on opposing players. His defensive instincts and long arms allow him to interrupt passing […]

Matisse Thybulle has one of the most unique skillsets across the entire NBA. The 25-year-old has made the All-Defensive Second-Team twice in his three year career despite his limited minutes. His game changing wingspan and activity is so exciting but his offensive deficiencies make him a difficult player to evaluate. The former first-round pick is […]

The Philadelphia 76ers have had an eventful offseason. From James Harden contract talks to signing PJ Tucker to the team partying in the Hamptons at Michael Rubin’s White Out Part, a lot has gone down.

The Philadelphia 76ers are widely expected to bring in P.J. Tucker during NBA free agency. The hard-nosed veteran is expected to receive a big contract. That, coupled with the playing time he is going to command on the Sixers, is bad news for Matisse Thybule in particular. According to Jake Fischer of Bleacher Report, the […]
