76ers

Months after Sam Hinkie stepped down as general manager of the Philadelphia 76ers, Joel Embiid, the third overall pick in 2014 who has yet to make his debut, still has his back. Embiid posted this to Instagram account: View this post on Instagram A post shared by Joel "The Process" Embiid (@joelembiid) The caption here [...]

Remember all that “Manu Ginobili was considering signing with the Philadelphia 76ers if the San Antonio Spurs didn’t up their offer” stuff that was floating around last week? Surely it was a joke. Ginobili wouldn’t ever leave the Spurs. Especially for the Sixers. He would sooner retire. He probably just used Philly for leverage, even [...]

Should the Boston Celtics and Philadelphia 76ers hammer out a Jahlil Okafor trade, it doesn’t sound like it will be a mutually beneficial deal. Going one step further, it doesn’t seem like the Sixers will emerge from any completed negotiations with much to show for their troubles, according to philly.com’s Keith Pompey: It doesn’t make [...]

Did Manu Ginobili almost sign with the Philadelphia 76ers? Probably not. Did the Sixers essentially force the Spurs to pay Ginobili $14 million next season by making a lucrative pitch to him in free agency? Probably. That’s the lowdown, according to The Vertical’s Adrian Wojnarowski: Sources tell me the reason the Spurs had to go [...]

Jahlil Okafor is not a fan of trade rumors. On Saturday, Calkins Media’s Tom Moore reported that the Philadelphia 76ers “tried like hell” to deal Okafor ahead of the draft but couldn’t find a palatable deal. He then revealed that the absence of a trade frustrated the young big man and his camp (h/t CBS [...]

It’s been two full seasons since the Philadelphia 76ers drafted Joel Embiid second overall, but they’re yet to see what type of player he’ll be. Leg injuries have claimed what should’ve been his first two years in the league and the team is no doubt getting anxious. GM Bryan Colangelo is surely interested in seeing [...]

Ben Simmons has been the presumptive number one pick in the 2016 NBA Draft all season long, but recent events seemed to put question around that. First, the Sixers held a private workout for Duke’s Brandon Ingram, with the thought being he fits in better with the Sixers right away. Secondly, there were reports circulating [...]

The Philadelphia 76ers have eyes for Providence’s Kris Dunn. By extension, they’re still lusting after the Boston Celtics’ No. 3 pick in the June 23 draft, according to CSNNE’s Tim Welsh (h/t Celtics Blog): “Philly has told Kris Dunn’s camp and his agent they are trying to push the buttons to have this happen before [...]

Jahlil Okafor knows the Philadelphia 76ers are trying to trade him. Here’s what he told Basketball Insiders’ Alex Kennedy: “Well, of course you hear it,” Okafor said of trade rumors. “You hear it because of people texting you and asking you and all of that stuff. There were trade rumors involving me throughout the season. [...]

Joel Embiid’s NBA debut is starting to feel imminent. This is perhaps irrational, since he won’t be playing in any summer league games and, thus, at the earliest won’t be suiting up in an official capacity until October 2016. So, technically, his debut is still a ways out. Still, he’s making substantial progress for the [...]
