With the NBA trade deadline just two days away, I decided to write an open letter to Sixers general manager, Sam Hinkie.
The NBA trade deadline is Thursday. THE NBA TRADE DEADLINE IS THURSDAY! Can you feel the excitement? It's fannnnnnntastic!
Kevin Durant says former Sixer Kevin Ollie is the reason for the winning culture in Oklahoma City.
By now, even the most casual college basketball fans have heard about Doug McDermott, Jabari Parker and Marcus Smart. They were touted as some of the best players in the game before the season and have lived up to the billing.
We're likely entering the final days of the Spencer Hawes and Evan Turner era of Philadelphia 76ers basketball. The trade deadline is February 20th, and it seems unlikely either guy will be on the team past that date.
Evan Turner scored 21 points and Michael Carter-Williams and Thaddeus Young had 19 apiece for Philadelphia. The 76ers lost their eighth straight, the last two by more than 40 points while nearly matching the NBA mark for the largest total margin of defeat in consecutive games.
The bowling, the dancing, the hair, the press conferences and timelines. Just about everything we remember here in Philadelphia about Andrew Bynum has nothing to do with actual basketball on an actual basketball court.
It's not crazy to suggest that when all is said and done, Lebron James will be considered one of the greatest few NBA players of all time. As it turns out, Lebron himself agrees with that sentiment.
Leave it to Michael Jordan, NBA owner, to take what we no longer want.
Marreese Speights scored a career-high 32 points to hand his former team a near-record setback, leading the Golden State Warriors past the woeful 76ers 123-80.
The Sixers were down 31 points after the 1st quarter, and went on to lose 123-78 Sunday night.
Tony Wroten scored 16 and Evan Turner and Spencer Hawes each had 15 for Philadelphia, which lost its fifth straight game, seventh in a row at home and 15th of 18 overall.
The 76ers (15-35) have lost four straight and 14 of their last 17 games. They also have lost six in a row at home for the first time since the 1996-97 season.
Michael Carter-Williams is a solid favorite to win the NBA's Rookie of The Year award. If you were one of the fans watching him during the Sixers' Summer League games in Orlando, you'd have never guessed that would happen.
