Just how attractive is the Sixers’ president job?
The calls for Daryl Morey’s ouster got louder and louder in the 48 hours between Philadelphia’s elimination from the NBA playoffs last Sunday and his official firing on Tuesday. In the span of just over one week, the Sixers managed to come from 3-1 down against the Boston Celtics on the heels of their star […]
What fans can expect under the Sixers’ new leadership structure
When the Sixers decided to part ways with former president of basketball operations Daryl Morey, there was plenty of debate amongst the fanbase as to whether a new front office group would really change all that much.

It felt like the league had passed Daryl Morey by
Daryl Morey’s tenure as Sixers’ president of basketball operations has come to an end. He will be remembered in Philadelphia as another key figure who couldn’t get over the hump that is the second round of the playoffs. He leaves the Sixers in a very similar situation to how he found them. The Joel Embiid […]
Paul George’s future will be a key decision for Sixers’ next top executive
The offseason has just started for the Philadelphia 76ers, but we’ve already seen a major shakeup, with Daryl Morey out as President of Basketball Operations. Whoever Bob Myers selects to fill the position will inherit some promising pieces, especially the backcourt of Tyrese Maxey and VJ Edgecombe, but also some challenges. Something that slants more […]
5 candidates to replace Daryl Morey as Sixers’ president of basketball operations
The Sixers on Tuesday made the decision to part ways with president of basketball operations Daryl Morey after six seasons. Morey’s tenure had plenty of highs and lows, but he ultimately failed to reach the Eastern Conference Finals, something the franchise hasn’t done in over 25 years now. Bob Myers, who serves as president of […]
There were things out of his control, but Daryl Morey’s tenure had plenty of unforced errors
When Daryl Morey was hired by the Sixers as president of basketball operations immediately following the NBA bubble in 2020, Philadelphia fans rejoiced. It felt like a savior was joining the front office to right the ship and deliver the championship Morey’s former colleague Sam Hinkie longed for when facilitating The Process. Morey was handed […]
Daryl Morey out as Sixers’ president of basketball operations; Nick Nurse stays
Daryl Morey’s tenure in Philadelphia has come to an end. After six seasons as the Sixers’ president of basketball operations, Morey will no longer have that post after meeting with owners Josh Harris and David Blitzer on Tuesday. ESPN’s Shams Charania was the first to report the news. Head coach Nick Nurse will be back […]
Don’t forget about Daryl Morey’s strong draft history
As we all turn the page to the offseason, Sixers fans are now in wait-and-see mode as reports swirl about the uncertain futures of president of basketball operations Daryl Morey and head coach Nick Nurse. What we all know is that the team is stuck in a bit of a holding pattern. As we saw […]
What do the Sixers need? A 2026 Draft preview
The Philadelphia 76ers are coming off a season of genuine highs and lows. On one hand, the franchise made the postseason just a year after winning only 24 games and pulled off an upset of the rival Boston Celtics. The highs didn’t last long, though. They flamed out in four games to the New York […]
‘Ownership has not made final decisions’ on Morey, Nurse, per report, and other Sixers thoughts
Generally, when a season ends in a sweep, there are going to be questions about the futures of the front office and coaching staff. After the Sixers were crushed by the New York Knicks in Game 4 Sunday, the focus shifts to the culpability of Daryl Morey and Nick Nurse for the team’s quick exit […]
Despite the way things ended, Joel Embiid is optimistic about his health moving forward
Context matters when breaking down sports. “A banged-up Joel Embiid lost in the second round of the NBA Playoffs,” sounds like a familiar story, but that’s only if you ignore everything that’s happened over the last two-plus years. Sure, there was plenty of disappointment after the Sixers were crushed in Game 4 Sunday by the […]
Hours after VJ Edgecombe’s rookie season ended, Sixers share excitement over his future
It’s hard to hear after a division rival took over their building and swept them out of the playoffs, but the 2025-26 season was a pretty high-end outcome for the Sixers. They beat the Boston Celtics in a playoff series, Joel Embiid has felt as good as he has about his left knee since January […]

Sixers need plenty of improvements to keep season alive in Game 4 vs. Knicks
That was a tough one. After a closely fought Game 2 without Joel Embiid, Game 3 felt like it was going to be a solid chance for the Sixers to get their first win of the series in his return. OG Anunoby, who’s been excellent all around in these playoffs, being sidelined with a hamstring […]
Nick Nurse has no choice but to run his stars into the ground
We all know what the problems are for the Sixers against the Knicks and we all know they can’t be fixed during this series. After losses in Games 2 and 3 against New York, we can no longer simply point to the sub-48-hour turnaround from the first round to the second round as a reason […]
Manpower shortage dooms Sixers; reinforcements needed
Anybody could have had Jalen Brunson in the 2018 NBA Draft. Anybody. The Villanova guard was the 33rd overall choice in that selection process, and has since parlayed his old-man game into four 20 point-per-game seasons and three All-Star appearances. That same June night, the Sixers did have Mikal Bridges, albeit briefly. (Perhaps you’ve heard.) […]

Despite Embiid’s return, Sixers drop Game 3 vs. Knicks, fall down 3-0
Yeah, this is going to be a harder one to come back from. The Sixers were outclassed again by the New York Knicks, falling 108-94 in Game 3 and into a 3-0 series deficit. After missing Game 2, Joel Embiid never looked quite right, finishing with 18 points shooting 7-of-17 from the floor along with […]

Joel Embiid available, OG Anunoby out for Game 3
Fitting with the day-to-day designation he was given, the Sixers injury report lists Joel Embiid (ankle sprain, hip soreness) as questionable for Friday’s Game 3 of their second round series against the Knicks. With Philly down 2-0 in the series to New York, things shift to South Philadelphia for Games 3 and 4 this weekend. […]
