Is Henri Veesaar a candidate for the Sixers to move back and target?
For the next month before the 2026 NBA Draft, we’ll take an in-depth look at different prospects here at Liberty Ballers and try to figure out which players would be the best fit for the Sixers at No. 22.

Giannis heading to Miami a solid outcome for the Sixers
Late Monday night, the Giannis Antetokounmpo trade request saga finally came to an end, with the Milwaukee Bucks star taking his talents to South Beach. In a vacuum, I’m glad this is finally over so that we don’t have to hear any more reports about how Giannis wants to “do things the hard way” or […]
Will Rucker’s final 2026 NBA Draft Big Board
The day is finally upon us. The 2026 NBA Draft class, long projected for years to be one of the best of its generation, is finally here. I watched over 100 prospects in this year’s class. So, without further ado, here are my final prospect rankings. TIER 1 (Franchise Talent – All NBA – MVP-Caliber […]
Evaluating Mike Gansey’s draft history in Cleveland
The 2026 NBA Draft happens begins Tuesday night. The Sixers are likely going to make their only pick in this year’s draft at 22nd overall. It’s an important pick for the franchise as it was the primary return in the highly-scrutinized Jared McCain trade from this past February. With Mike Gansey taking over as the team’s […]
The Knicks (and the parity era) have shown there’s no one right way to build
A new NBA champion being crowned is always followed with the tradition of the other 29 teams asking themselves “what can we learn from this?” or “what does it take for us to reach that mountain?” The thorough ass-kicking the Sixers received from the eventual champion New York Knicks to send them home in the […]

Why the Sixers didn’t get involved in the Aaron Wiggins trade
At this year’s trade deadline, the Sixers made a trade with the Oklahoma City Thunder that we don’t need to rehash for the sake of everyone’s mental health. Their reported trade target from that deal is now on the move. In mid-May, Adam Aaronson of PhillyVoice reported that Thunder guard Aaron Wiggins was the “primary […]

How Mike Gansey might change the Sixers’ NBA draft approach
Less than one week away from the 2026 NBA draft, we still don’t know much about the Sixers’ plans. We’re starting to get word of some prospects whom the Sixers have brought in or will bring in for a predraft workout. We can make guesses based on big boards and their biggest needs, but the […]
Tyrese Maxey’s All-NBA leap kept the Sixers afloat
Tyrese Maxey’s 2025-26 campaign started very similar to his year from a season prior. He was tasked with an incredible minutes load in order to lead whatever starting lineup was able to make it onto the court for the Sixers that night. Unlike the previous season, he was ready for the burden. Coming out firing, […]
Chris Cenac is a great fit for the Sixers’ current roster and future

What is the new normal for Joel Embiid?
In evaluating Joel Embiid’s 2025-26 season, let’s refer back to his comments following the Sixers’ second-round sweep at the hands of the soon-to-be-champion New York Knicks: “For me, this was a success. I came into this year not knowing where I was gonna be, how long I was gonna play, if I was even gonna […]

Can Paul George build on his strong finish to 2025-26?
We saw quite the rise in impact from Paul George through 2025-26. The season started in typical Sixers fashion, with their star wing sidelined due to injury for the first 12 games. His play from mid November to the end of January was solid, yet he only averaged 16.0 points per game in this 27-game […]

Next up in this series is Duke’s Isaiah Evans. Isaiah Evans was a five-star recruit and one of the […]
Where is there the biggest room for improvement for VJ Edgecombe in his sophomore season?
After a season of his larger-than-life personality and plays, it’s hard to imagine the Philadelphia 76ers without VJ Edgecombe now. The No. 3 overall pick from the 2025 NBA Draft’s freshman season is behind him, and what a year it was. At just 20 years old, Edgecombe made his presence known in the league, starting […]
Editor-in-chief mailbag: The season is officially over and the NBA Draft is almost here
With the New York Knicks taking down the San Antonio Spurs in five games in the NBA Finals, the 2025-26 season has officially come to an end.

What Nick Nurse and the Sixers can learn from the New York Knicks
On Saturday night, the New York Knicks snapped their 53-year title drought. Nick Nurse and the Sixers—whose own championship drought has now reached 43 years—could learn some valuable lessons from their Atlantic Division rivals. Jalen Brunson, Karl-Anthony Towns and OG Anunoby led the way for the Knicks on their incredible championship run, but they were […]
Will free agent Kelly Oubre Jr return to the Sixers?
Sixers fans weren’t quite sure what to expect when the organization first signed Kelly Oubre Jr. very late in the 2023 offseason. Ultimately, at just a veteran’s minimum salary, it was a home run deal for Philadelphia, as Oubre went on to start in 52 of his 68 regular season appearances that season, plus all […]

Quentin Grimes and the ‘glut of guards’ mirage
As our player season reviews rolls on, you’ve probably read a lot about Quentin Grimes’ 2025-26 season if you’ve spent any time on this blog this offseason. He played well for the first two months of the season before struggling for the back half of the season. Save for one game in Boston, his playoffs […]
