We’ve been spending the off-season counting down the ten biggest questions facing the Sixers as they transition from the Doug Collins era into a rather uncertain future. Now that we’re done the roll-out, we figured it was time to call on our old friend Michael Levin, of the excellent Sixers blog Liberty Ballers, and get his take on these...

This guy. After holding the Sixers hostage for the entirety of the 2012-13 season–maybe his fault, probably not totally–Bynum will continue to have the team in his grasp until at least July 1st, when free agency begins and Sam Hinkie and company can figure out whether or not the Funny Looking Kid With the Big Hair is gonna be...

Eleven. That’s how many NBA teams fired or let go of their coaches this off-season–a whopping six of whom even made the playoffs last year, if you can believe that. A handful of those teams have already filled their vacacines–Cleveland with Mike Brown, Sacramento with Mike Malone, Atlanta with Mike Budenholzer–but the majority still remain open, meaning that the...

Like most basketball fans who have firmly prioritized the pros over the college game, I really shouldn’t be pretending to have any idea about who the Sixers should be picking with the #11 pick in the upcoming draft. But it’s too big a moment in the franchise’s off-season to have absolutely no opinion about, so I’ve been doing my...

After enduring three years of absolutely vexing basketball from their former #2 overall pick, the Philadelphia 76ers are about to reach decision time with Evan Turner. The Extraterrestrial’s rookie contract is in its final year next season, meaning that unless they ink him to an extension at some point before November, Turner will become a restricted free agent at...

For the first time in what feels like decades (and what is actually a half-decade), the Sixers are going to have cap space the summer. Finally free of the inhibiting contracts of Andre Iguodala (traded) and Elton Brand (amnestied + expired), the Sixers can finally be players in free agency once again. Now, just because we’ll be subtracting the gargantuan…

When I talked a couple columns ago about how Thaddeus Young should probably considered tradeable by Sixers management, and potentially included in prospective off-season deals, I didn’t mean that he should be traded for just anybody. Indeed, the Sixers are in a place right now where they’re not in any particular rush to either improve the roster or break...

As has been mentioned numerous times in this multi-part off-season review, one of the unquestionably smart things the Sixers did last off-season was to not take on any long-term contracts while rebuilding their team on the fly. Consequently, a number of guys we picked up whilere-stocking our rotation–now missing such previous contributors as Lou Williams, Jodie Meeks, Andre Iguodala...

It’s been a tough three years with Spencer Hawes in Philadelphia. Our prospect big man, who started 150 games over his first three seasons as a Sixer, has been the quintessential NBA tease over his time in Philly, playing well enough for stretches to gradually raise our expectations, until he pulls the bottom out from under us with a week…

The good and bad thing about the 76ers’ current state of supreme flexibility is that we don’t have a ton of players that we know for a fact are gonna be a big part of this team’s future. In the long-term sense, just about everybody on this team is expendable, and it wouldn’t be hugely surprising if two years...
