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.

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.

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.

The Detroit Pistons currently find themselves at the bottom of the Eastern Conference, and that likely won’t be changing anytime soon.

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 […]

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 […]
