Report: Kevin Love’s agent in contact with the 76ers
The free agency dust is finally starting to settle in Sixers land after a blockbuster trade for Jaylen Brown and the signing of LeBron James. Thus far, the Sixers have signaled they’re heading into the season with their current group at 14 roster spots. Now, we’re getting an idea of what’s to come, with ESPN’s […]
Takeaways from Jaylen Brown’s introductory press conference
Five weeks and one LeBron James signing later, Jaylen Brown finally spoke to the media as a member of the Philadelphia 76ers. He answered questions for about 20 minutes about his relationship with the team and teammates, both new and old, and what he’s looking forward to bringing the city of Philadelphia. The first takeaway […]
LeBron James can help Tyrese Maxey be better than ever
LeBron James is a Philadelphia 76er. I know you’ll have read that a lot by now, but I don’t think another mention hurts when it still feels this surreal. There’s so much to think about with LeBron’s arrival. Beyond the excitement that the possible greatest player of all time chose Philly for his final ring […]
Kentavious Caldwell-Pope signing made official, will wear No. 1 for Sixers
The Philadelphia 76ers traded Johni Broome to the Los Angeles Clippers last week in order to create enough cap space under the first apron to sign Kentavious Caldwell-Pope to a veteran’s minimum deal. Yesterday, that signing was made official. Per Sixers Public Relations: “Philadelphia 76ers President of Basketball Operations Mike Gansey announced today that the […]
Jim Lynam: Plenty of challenges ahead for Lebron-led Sixers
Lightning struck just as Jim Lynam was finishing the ninth hole at Twisted Dune Golf Club in South Jersey on a recent Friday. It came not in the usual way, but in the form of newsflash: LeBron James was going to sign with the Sixers. A few hours earlier Lynam – an NBC Sports Philadelphia […]
Mike Gansey stops by Phillies broadcast: ‘We don’t get LeBron without Jaylen [Brown]’ and more
It’s been a busy summer for Philadelphia 76ers president of basketball operations Mike Gansey. From arriving in Philly just a few months ago, to trading for Jaylen Brown and then LeBron James, he’s had a whirlwind start in the City of Brotherly Love. It continued this week with Gansey making the rounds with the other […]
Editor-in-chief mailbag: The Sixers’ roster is mostly set
Once the Sixers officially sign Kentavious Caldwell-Pope, they’ll have 14 players under standard contracts. Since they’re hard-capped at the first apron, they don’t have adequate money to sign a player to the veteran minimum. They could look to sign players on prorated contracts starting in December and using 10-days in January. All this to say, […]
Jaylen Brown wants Sixers to go group skydiving if they win the title
In case you missed it, new Philadelphia 76er Jaylen Brown went skydiving in Egypt a few days ago. While there’s nothing inherently dangerous about participating in a tandem skydive with a qualified instructor, ‘Sixer falls from the clouds’ is something we haven’t checked off this organization’s cursed injury bingo card, so maybe better to play […]
Sixers roster, salaries, cap space, available draft picks and more
After a wild offseason, the Sixers’ roster is set… for now. LeBron James and Jaylen Brown are now Sixers, as are Dean Wade, Anfernee Simons, Kentavious Caldwell-Pope and Ariel Hukporti. So, where does that leave the Sixers financially? How close are they to the first apron? We’re partnering with SalarySwish to use their data and […]
The national attention around the Sixers has never been greater
The Sixers are the talk of the NBA. Who would have thought that would have been the case just over two months ago when the euphoria of eliminating the Boston Celtics had been quickly erased at the hands of another rival in the New York Knicks? Well, here we are and almost half of the […]
Report: LeBron James, ESPN closing in on agreement for ‘The Last Dance’ style documentary
It’s not even been a week since we found out LeBron James is now a Philadelphia 76er, and the impact of his arrival is already starting to go beyond what he’ll be doing on the basketball court — just as you’d expect. There’s also how he plans to tell the story of the final stage […]
Thanks to LeBron James, Joel Embiid finally has the superteam he’s always wanted
Two years ago, Joel Embiid found himself envious of Jayson Tatum. At the time, Tatum and the Boston Celtics were fresh off winning the 2023-24 NBA championship. The Celtics took advantage of a few CBA loopholes to build an unsustainably deep team (as the past two offseasons have coldly demonstrated), and Embiid took notice. That […]
Beyond a star-studded starting five, Sixers boast plenty of depth
LeBron James is a Sixer. Some variation of that sentence might be the lede for all of our foreseeable articles. With James in the fold, the Sixers will have one of the most immensely talented starting groups in NBA history. Tyrese Maxey, VJ Edgecombe, Jaylen Brown, James and Joel Embiid are five incredibly gifted players. […]
Where the Sixers stand financially after signing LeBron James, KCP
Sixers president of basketball operations Mike Gansey didn’t take long to make a big splash, huh? On July 1, he agreed to trade Paul George, two first-round picks and two second-round picks to the Boston Celtics for Jaylen Brown. He wasn’t done there, though. Three weeks later, the Sixers signed LeBron James (!) to a […]
Sixers trade Johni Broome, second-round pick to Clippers for cash considerations
ESPN’s Shams Charania has reported that the Sixers will be trading Johni Broome and a second-round pick to the LA Clippers for cash considerations. The team has since confirmed the trade. Details of that second-round pick have come from Jake Fischer of the Stein Line, who says that the pick will be the second-most favorable […]
Editor-in-chief mailbag: So, LeBron is a Sixer
I have to be honest, this is still tripping me up. I’ve been comparing the last few weeks of covering this team to an out-of-body experience. This type of good fortune rarely finds the Sixers. First, the Jaylen Brown trade. Then, LeBron James deciding to come here. Of course, it all looks fantastic on paper, […]
No, VJ Edgecombe’s development is not doomed by new Sixers lineup
Now that the dust has settled on the initial shock and excitement of LeBron James announcing his signing with the Philadelphia 76ers, the discussion focus has shifted to how the King will mesh with his new team. There are a ton of angles to look at this from, but one that has stood out to […]

LeBron James, star-studded Sixers heading to Brooklyn for preseason game
It’s somewhat strange that in the year 2026, we still have to piece together NBA preseason schedules bit by bit over time from different sources, but we found another part of the puzzle on Monday afternoon, courtesy of the Brooklyn Nets. The Sixers will take the floor at the Barclays Center at 7:30pm ET on […]
Signing LeBron means pressure for Nick Nurse
While Sixers head coach Nick Nurse was celebrating his 59th birthday on Friday, the rest of the NBA universe went into a frenzy following the news that LeBron James will be signing with Philadelphia. With The King comes a new batch of lofty expectations. “I believe I can help make the Philadelphia 76ers a championship […]
Sixers waive Dalen Terry, clearing the way to officially sign LeBron James
And these transactions are officially in the works. The Sixers announced that they have waived Dalen Terry Sunday afternoon. Terry signed with the Sixers late last season on a two-way contract before finishing the year on a standard deal, replacing the injured Cam Payne. In the 14 games he appeared with the Sixers, Terry averaged […]
The skepticism about LeBron James and the Sixers is out of hand
On Friday, the Sixers pulled off one of the biggest free-agent heists in NBA history when they landed LeBron James on a two-year, $7.9 million veteran-minimum contract. You’d never know it based on some of the reactions to that deal. Jack Simone of the Boston Sports Journal declared that LeBron’s arrival in Philadelphia “will be […]
Breaking down Jaylen Brown’s extension options with the Sixers
Jaylen Brown hasn’t even been on the Sixers for a month. We still haven’t seen him play in a Sixers uniform. Yet the Sixers already have a tough decision to make with him. On July 26, Brown becomes eligible to sign a one-year extension worth no less than roughly $68.9 million. He’s only eligible to […]
Philly, you deserve this
In 2013, the Sixers brought on Sam Hinkie as general manager. The Daryl Morey protege took a sledgehammer to the roster, hoping to pull the franchise out of NBA purgatory and into perpetual relevancy. You could liken the next decade-plus to getting on a rollercoaster that never stops and is on fire. Sure, there have […]
Even now, Embiid holds the key to what the Sixers might become
Fifteen years ago, amid another promising summer, an Eagles backup quarterback named Vince Young surveyed the talent on hand – new acquisitions like himself, Nnamdi Asomugha, Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie and Jason Babin, added to a Michael Vick-led core – and declared the Birds a “Dream Team.” Turned out that none of the new guys (least of […]
