Even in injury, it doesn’t appear Nerlens Noel wants for trade suitors. With the Philadelphia 76ers’ frontcourt logjam alive as ever, we can expect Jahlil Okafor’s and Noel’s names to be bandied about the rumor mill until one or both of them is moved. Though the Sixers have already moved Jerami Grant, they’ve never once [...]

November 22, 2013. Do you happen to remember what you were doing on that day? It was the last Friday before Thanksgiving that year and it was the last time the Philadelphia 76ers have won a basketball game in the month of October or November. They defeated the Milwaukee Bucks 115-107 in overtime at home, [...]

At this point, with Joel Embiid having missed his first two seasons in the NBA due to foot injuries, simply seeing him on the court, in an actual game, will be a boon for the Philadelphia 76ers’ morale. Just don’t expect to see him on the hardwood too much, or even on back-to-back nights. From [...]

The Nerlens Noel saga continues. Okay, to be honest, it’s not really a saga. The Philadelphia 76ers just have too many damn bigs and need to move one. Jahlil Okafor is the easy pick, but interest must not have been high on him in recent months, otherwise he’d be gone already. Dealing Nerlens Noel is [...]

Although he was injured in his first Summer League game for the Sixers, Ben Simmons impressed. He drew premature comparisons to Magic Johnson and LeBron James in that outing. It’s easy to see why every team was high on him as he definitely has promise and versatility. In fact, he’s so versatile that he can [...]

The Serge Ibaka for Victor Oladipo deal with a head-scratcher for many reasons. It was said that Ibaka was unhappy with his role and this move was made with the intentions of retaining Kevin Durant’s services. But there’s one problem: this deal doesn’t exactly make the Thunder better. You can argue it makes them worse. [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

Ben Simmons, the top talent in this year’s NBA draft, won’t be working out for the Philadelphia 76ers, owners of the No. 1 pick in the 2016 prospect pageant. WHAT DOES THIS MEAN? Absolutely nothing. From Philly.com’s Keith Pompey: Unless something changes, the 76ers won’t work out out Ben Simmons during the NBA predraft process [...]
