ICYMI: I predicted the outcomes of the Sixers' three player options -- Kelly Oubre Jr., Andre Drummond and Eric Gordon -- and three team options -- Lonnie Walker IV, Jared Butler and Justin Edwards -- ahead of the June 29 decision deadline: www.phillyvoice.com/sixers-news-...

New: My third 2025 NBA Mock Draft is live! Projected the first 35 picks to account for each of the Sixers’ selections, and also had a handful of trades. Where will Ace Bailey go if the Sixers don’t take him? Where will Kevin Durant get traded? And more: www.phillyvoice.com/sixers-news-...

I don’t think I have more trust in anyone showing up on Sunday than Pascal Siakam

New: With 10 days until the deadline for player/team option decisions across the NBA, I took another crack at guessing how the Sixers’ three player options and three team options will play out.

For those who weren’t awake when last night’s news broke…

Key points IMO: -This won't stop Sixers from picking Ace if they like him most. If he's the best player, he's the best player. I am skeptical + personally don't think he is. That's my view. -They have done lots of work on him, as Givony says -Bailey seems very focused on usage

New: A late-night story for those of you still awake! Ace Bailey has reportedly called off his visit to Philadelphia, where he was supposed to meet with Sixers brass before conducting the first private workout of his pre-draft process. Some thoughts... www.phillyvoice.com/sixers-news-...

ICYMI: This week’s bonus Sixers mailbag covered a whole bunch, from whether or not the Sixers can dramatically alter their roster-building approach to the best players they can add while trading down to offseason roster management… www.phillyvoice.com/sixers-news-...

New: Kon Knueppel told Bill Simmons that he has a Zoom scheduled with the Sixers this week, but has not worked out for the team. Sixers have already met with and worked out VJ Edgecombe and are doing the same with Ace Bailey this week. www.phillyvoice.com/sixers-news-...

New: As others reported, a source said on Thursday afternoon that the Sixers are considering four players at No. 3 overall. While those names aren’t confirmed, I have my suspicions. I recently outlined the statistical cases for and against drafting each: www.phillyvoice.com/sixers-news-...

New: Another week, another bonus Sixers mailbag! • Can the Sixers replicate the Pacers’ model of team-building? • The best player they can get while trading down is… • How many roster spots will they need to fill after making their draft picks? www.phillyvoice.com/sixers-news-...

New: This week’s Sixers mailbag is live! • Why not trade for Kevin Durant? • Can the Sixers trade up from No. 35 and end up with an additional first-round pick? • How can the Sixers piece together 48 power forward minutes without Guerschon Yabusele? www.phillyvoice.com/sixers-news-...

New: This week's 5 Sixers thoughts is live! -I spent hours figuring out a realistic Kevin Durant trade involving the Sixers -Why I like the Desmond Bane trade for Orlando -Other KD trade thoughts -The nerdiest Sixers trade idea you've ever seen -more www.phillyvoice.com/sixers-news-...

Part of DX's write-up on Sixers trending towards Edgecombe and away from Bailey at No. 3 overall mentioned Bailey initially refusing to visit without a "proven pathway to development." A Sixers source refuted that, saying Bailey never refused to visit. He'll be in town this week.

Good morning and Happy Becoming Caitlin Clark Day! I am so excited this story is finally here from @triumphbooks.bsky.social. Here are the places you can buy it (in addition to your neighborhood bookstore, which is your best choice!) #WNBA #CaitlinClark www.barnesandnoble.com/w/becoming-c...

New: The VJ Edgecombe smoke at No. 3 felt very real. The last thing we needed to see was DX make the shift from Ace Bailey to Edgecombe in their mock draft, and they did so in a resounding way this morning. Another Sixers mock draft roundup is live: www.phillyvoice.com/sixers-news-...

Siakam is a ridiculous player

The undrafted label doesn’t to it justice for TJ. When he came to training camp he was the sixth-string point guard for a team that went 10-72. His “locker” was just a random closet!

TJ, man. Good lord

ICYMI: I wrote about what the Desmond Bane trade says about the potential for a Tyrese Maxey market (not as much as you would think), then tried coming up with a bunch of different hypothetical deals to illustrate why the value may not line up: www.phillyvoice.com/sixers-news-...

Still time to get questions in!

ICYMI: This week’s 5 Sixers thoughts includes my thoughts on the Desmond Bane trade and Kevin Durant rumors, plus a Durant trade proposal which involves the Sixers & took me hours to figure out. More inside, including an idea to trade out of No. 35 overall: www.phillyvoice.com/sixers-news-...

New: The Desmond Bane trade return has many wondering what the Sixers could get for Tyrese Maxey. In a MERELY HYPOTHETICAL EXERCISE, I wrote about Maxey's trade value vs. that of Bane -- and why it's more complex than that. Then, I tried building a ton of deals: www.phillyvoice.com/sixers-news-...

Officially taking questions for this week's Sixers mailbag! Assuming most want to talk draft. I'm also happy to chat about free agency/trade stuff if anyone wants to focus on that. If I get a bunch of good questions again, hopefully I can write another bonus mailbag. Fire away!

The Boston Red Sox will pay for what they have done over the last six years

New: The Phillies swept a surging Blue Jays team this weekend thanks to absolutely dominant starting pitching and an offense that is finally finding some life. Many notes on Zack Wheeler, Ranger Suárez, Cristopher Sánchez, Max Kepler, Jeff Hoffman and others: www.phillyvoice.com/phillies-new...

just told my 7 year old desmond bane got traded and she was shocked but said "for that draft pick haul and the opportunity to pivot away from the current core which was going to be difficult to improve upon with the current salary restrictions, i get it"

Suggs-Bane-Franz-Paolo is good and expensive as hell
