Yaxel Lendeborg: the draft’s premier two-way connector
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. First up in this series is Michigan’s Yaxel Lendeborg. Lendeborg is coming off a stellar season, combining strong individual […]
Is MarJon Beauchamp worth a longer look for the Sixers?
MarJon Beauchamp was the last player the Sixers acquired before the 2025-26 season began. After the final preseason game, the team waived Emoni Bates and signed Beauchamp to an Exhibit 10 contract. He spent the majority of the season in the G League playing for the Delaware Blue Coats. In 19 games for the Coats […]
Report: Sixers to hire Mike Gansey as president of basketball operations
The Sixers have a new front-office boss. The team will reportedly hire Cleveland Cavaliers general manager Mike Gansey as president of basketball operations, per ESPN’s Shams Charania. Gansey was one of four candidates — including Minnesota Timberwolves GM Matt Lloyd, Phoenix Mercury GM Nick U’Ren and a lone internal candidate in Jameer Nelson — reportedly […]
What does the future hold for Kelly Oubre Jr. and the Sixers?
Kelly Oubre Jr. had yet another season of showing up consistently when the Sixers’ competitiveness was often all over the place. In 31.5 minutes per game through the regular season, he averaged 14.1 points on a career-high 58 true shooting percentage, 5.0 rebounds, 1.6 assists and 1.4 steals. Oubre’s well and truly proven his strengths […]
Tracking the 76ers’ search for a new president of basketball operations
The Philadelphia 76ers are on the clock. After parting ways with Daryl Morey, the franchise has tasked Bob Myers — President of Sports for Harris Blitzer Sports & Entertainment — with running basketball operations in the interim while leading the search for a new President of Basketball Operations. Myers has set a (soft) target of […]
Report: Mike Gansey, Jameer Nelson leading candidates for Sixers president of basketball operations position
Last time we checked in, the Philadelphia 76ers had four leading candidates to fill the president of basketball operations position formerly held by Daryl Morey: Mike Gansey, Nick U’Ren, Matt Lloyd, and Jameer Nelson. However, per reporting from Marc Stein and Jake Fischer in today’s Stein Line Substack, that list now appears to be down […]
Do you miss Landry Shamet?
As the Sixers prepare to make the 22nd pick in the 2026 NBA Draft, we want to bring up another name that Philadelphia drafted in the 20s within the last decade. It just so happens that Landry Shamet is still playing basketball as the 26th pick by the Sixers in 2018, now with the Knicks and playing […]
NBA passes 3-2-1 NBA Draft Lottery reform
Per ESPN’s Shams Charania, the NBA has passed a number of changes to the NBA Draft Lottery, effective for the upcoming 2026-27 season and lasting through at least 2029. The “3-2-1” lottery moniker is a slight misnomer, as the bottom three teams will receive “2” lottery balls each. Spots four through 10 will receive “3” […]
Post-combine NBA mock draft roundup
While the Sixers continue to search for a new president of basketball operations, the 2026 NBA Draft quickly approaches. Bob Myers said he hopes to have the next hire in place before the draft. Even if he’s able to do so, that new president will have less than a month to prepare for the selection […]
Depth, development and where the Sixers go next
In watching this year’s conference finals, it’s apparent how woefully ill-equipped the Sixers were for a deep playoff run. Sure, I will never forget the sheer euphoria of slaying the Celtics after rebounding from a 3-1 series deficit in the first round this spring, but cold water got thrown on that fun quite quickly given […]
Editor-in-chief: POBO candidates, Knicks in the Finals, NBA Draft looming
It’s been a minute, friends. After some time to digest things, I’m back with a mailbag. We’ll make this a weekly thing again now that the Sixers’ offseason is in full swing — with a lot of business to attend to. The most important first step for the Sixers is finding a new president of […]
Nick U’Ren has earned a look from the Sixers
Think of an imaginary basketball team — good, but not good enough to make serious noise in the postseason. Not bad enough to have a realistic shot at a top draft pick. A few stars on the roster, but most of them on the wrong side of 30 and headed quickly into the twilight of […]
Poll: Does the Knicks’ sweep of Cleveland make you feel better about the Sixers’ exit?
For the first time since 1999, the New York Knicks are heading to the NBA Finals. The Knickerbockers completed the sweep of the Cleveland Cavaliers in the Eastern Conference Finals on Monday night with a 130-93 victory. After Game 1, when New York made an incredible fourth quarter comeback to then win in overtime, the […]
Tyrese Maxey earns first All-NBA honors with 2025-26 third team selection
From the 21st pick in the draft to one of the 15 best players in the league. The NBA has announced their All-NBA teams for the 2025-26 season, revealing that Tyrese Maxey has been selected for the first time in his career. He joins Jalen Duren, Chet Holmgren, Jalen Johnson, and Jamal Murray for those […]
The Jared McCain trade is the deal that keeps on stinging
The Philadelphia 76ers have made many terrible transactions during my lifetime as a fan. (Some good ones, as well. I am old and eventually things pile up on both sides of the ledger.) I count trading Jared McCain to the Oklahoma City Thunder as one of the really bad ones. When the deal went down, […]
Tyrese Maxey enters offseason looking to adjust to life as a No. 1 option
Tyrese Maxey has done nothing but get better year in and year out. In his rookie season, Maxey was every bit the part of a small guard drafted outside of the lottery. He had a few brilliant flashes, but only started eight games in 2020-21 and averaged just over 15 minutes a night. While he […]
Amidst organizational chaos, at least the Sixers have VJ-Maxx
It feels like just yesterday Sixers fans were in ferocious debates over who the team should select No. 3 overall in the 2025 NBA Draft. The team ultimately took VJ Edgecombe out of Baylor. There was also a sector of the fan base who contemplated what the Sixers could get in a Tyrese Maxey trade […]
VJ Edgecombe named to 2025-26 NBA All-Rookie First Team
No surprise here, the Sixers’ rookie is getting recognized for his stellar inaugural season as a pro. Philadelphia 76ers guard VJ Edgecombe has been named to the NBA All-Rookie First Team, the league announced on Wednesday night. The other First Team rookies for this season are Cedric Coward (Memphis), Cooper Flagg (Dallas), Dylan Harper (Spurs) […]
Hand Vince Rozman the keys
Once upon a time, the Sixers held NBA Draft workouts which were open to the media. Back when Sam Hinkie was running things, those workouts took place at PCOM in a tiny gym not befitting of an NBA franchise. Plenty of talented players came through that building. It’s where Ben Simmons had his pre-draft workout. […]
Who should the Sixers target with their first-round pick?
The Sixers’ offseason is now in full swing, and the 2026 NBA Draft lottery and combine are now in the books. With the 2026 NBA Draft just over a month away, let’s take a look at my top three potential draft targets who make sense for the Sixers in the first round. Morez Johnson, PF, […]
One year later, Quentin Grimes enters another murky free agency
Quentin Grimes’ audition with the Sixers for the 2025 free-agency class couldn’t have gone much better. He averaged 21.9 points in 28 games on 46.9/37.3/75.2% shooting splits. He also bore no responsibility for the team’s record over that time as they began to pile the roster with G-Leaguers and journeymen from overseas in a tanking […]

The Philadelphia 76ers are on the clock.

The Sixers have their issues, but the 2025-26 group was resilient
Undoing the goodwill of a 3-1 series comeback to beat your biggest rival in a playoff series for the first time in nearly 45 years is hard to do, yet it feels like the Sixers did so in the span of a week. Getting thoroughly trounced in the second round by the New York Knicks […]
5 Sixers thoughts on Tobias Harris’ Game 7 clunker, the fan base and more
The Sixers may be done for the season, but Sixers fans are never out of things to talk about. I’ll share a few in my latest “Sixers thoughts” column… Tobias Harris showed what he was truly made of in Detroit’s Game 7 loss As the playoffs progressed, I read so much online about how Tobias […]
A few reported candidates emerge for Sixers’ president of basketball operations job
When talking to Sixers media for the first time last week, Bob Myers said he’d like to have a new front office boss in place by the 2026 NBA Draft on June 23. Myers, a longtime executive with the Golden State Warriors and the president of sports for HBSE, is currently running basketball operations for […]
