Sixers Talk

Yet another awesome game from these two 🔥

Joel and Tyrese combined for 62 points, 18 rebounds, and 9 assists on the day https://t.co/uLsdQJBKBg

So in all, the Sixers at the deadline:

Acquire:

- 2026 1st-round pick (via Houston)
- 2027 2nd-round pick
- Two 2028 2nd-round picks

Send out:

- Jared McCain
- Eric Gordon
- 2032 2nd-round pick swap (w/ Memphis)

Feels a bit premature to salary dump him (to the defending champs nonetheless) just to duck the tax

Best of luck to Jared 🫡 https://t.co/JdfEbCxY7u

The Dominick Barlow Game 😤

A career-high 26 points to go along with 16 rebounds (10 offensive) in an absolutely dominant performance https://t.co/Gwo1juutV7

ESPN’s hypothetical trade scenario:

Sixers receive:

- Giannis Antetokounmpo

Bucks receive:

- Paul George
- VJ Edgecombe
- 2028 first-round pick (from Clippers)
- 2030 first-round pick

Would you make that deal? 🤔 https://t.co/OwUSddT8ax

Who would you want to see Daryl Morey look into before the deadline? 🤔 https://t.co/XqixbaiQkL

Per @TheSteinLine & @JakeLFischer, the Sixers have not contacted the Bucks about Giannis Antetokounmpo. HOWEVER:

“The prospect of teaming up with Tyrese Maxey — who, like Giannis, works with prominent NBA trainer Drew Hanlen - does have the 76ers on Antetokounmpo's radar.”

The Sixers are just 2-5 in their last 7 games. Over this stretch, they rank:

- 29th in Rebounding Percentage (44.9)
- 27th in Rebounds Per Game (40.6)
- 27th in Opponent Rebounds Per Game (47.7)

Rebounding continues to be a major issue for this team 😬 https://t.co/Q9nrgDOfDP

The obvious answer 🥲 https://t.co/3682FM0DtA

👟🔥 https://t.co/QndABtt5Nw

Nick nurse took PG out the 4th quarter for the last 3 mins and now Cavs are up 1 with 1:30 left 😂 🤦🏾‍♂️. @dmorey there is no way you’re watching every loss of this season and think Nick nurse is a good coach lol

Joel Embiid said it “means everything” that he’s having fun playing again 🙏

“I can’t sit here and say that I thought this would happen again. I was skeptical that I would have a chance of being this consistent. That’s why I’m kind of emotional about it.”

Joel Embiid over his last 10 games:

🔥 27.1 PTS
🔥 8.3 REB
🔥 3.6 AST
🔥 1.2 BLK
🔥 51.4% FG

He’s putting together a legitimate case for an All-Star reserve spot. You love to see it 🙏
