Rights To Ricky Sanchez: The Sixers Podcast

The new Sixers uniforms were supposedly designed in-part by Ben Simmons, feature boathouse row, and a 'hidden' TTP. We talk about whether they're bad or not, and if the Sixers should show up to our homes with trucks of money. We discuss the Westbrook and Harden rumors, then are joined by The Athletic's Sam Vecenie to preview the draft from a Sixers and Morey perspective, the top of the draft and L...

The very first Ricky spinoff podcast is a music podcast called The Carl Landry Record Club, hosted by Spike and Mutlu (aka Tommy From Down The Shore). The CLRC is a way to discover music that all of us love that might not be suggested to us by Apple or Spotify algorithms. We'll have great guests and want your album suggestions. The first episode is live, and there is an entirely different feed for...

Jrue Holiday is available to trade for, we discuss whether the Sixers can make it happen and how he would fit.

Finally, we have our friend Mutlu aka Tommy From Down Th...

Now that it's had some time to think in, we give our thoughts on how Daryl Morey will proceed in his first year as President of Basketball Operations for the Sixers. How close does he think they are to being a title contender? We discuss Sam Hinkie's appearance with Pablo Torre on ESPN Daily , and his thoughts on Simmons, how much time it will take Morey, and his potential NBA return. We also disc...

Daryl Morey! We complain and whine that the team should do a lot of things but we didn't expect this one. We discuss the Sixers impending hire of Process Godfather Daryl Morey to run the team, when it may have happened, what he knew, what he might do, and if we are to take credit for it (sorry, it's still us). We also discuss the hiring of Dan Burke and Sam Cassell. Listen to our interview with Mo...

They just won't give us a break. The NBA is looking to return before Christmas, putting the draft and free agency into a very small window, and forcing the Sixers upon us again in 2020. We talk about the plan to restart and who it benefits, this year's edition of the official Enemies Of The Process rankings, Jameer Nelson's hiring, the ridiculous CNBC article about the Sixers, and most importantly...

This is a good one. Jerome Allen grew up in North Philly, went to the Episcopal Academy, starred at Penn, played over a decade in the NBA and Europe, and later became head coach at Penn and is now an assistant coach for the Boston Celtics. Allen's new book When The Alphabet Comes talks about his life, and self examination after being charged in the Varsity Blues college admission scandal. We had a...

In are Peter Dinwiddie and Prosper Karangwa to the Sixers front office, out are the Hinkie guys, moved to the back closet are Alex Rucker and Ned Cohen, and sitting at home having never been called is Daryl Morey.

We also discuss Sixers Director of Scouting Phil Jabour leaving, Dave Joerger potentia...

Before we get to tons of questions from our Ask Me Anything that was posted on Reddit, we check in with Lakers fans with Mike. Are they worried? Can LeBron come through? Are their neighbors complaining? We quickly discuss Mike O'Connor's Top 12 Overrated Foods list, and then get into the AMA, which includes a heated debate about Jimmy Butler, and the sports take economy. We're sending our love to...

BIG NEWS! The Sixers are interviewing people for an executive position in the front office underneath Elton Brand. Does this mean an intern? Does it mean they will be physically under a giant Elton Brand chair? We talk about Doc Rivers' intro press conference, and what say he'll have over personnel. We discuss the falling NBA ratings, a rousing episode of relationship advice, and a listener whose...

Doc Rivers is officially the head coach of the Philadelphia 76ers, and we go over the pluses and minuses of the hire, Embiid and Simmons reactions, and what is next.

Finally, we bring on comedy writer Doug Mand (Crazy Ex-Girlfriend, How I Met Your Mother, Doodie Call...

The Sixers still have not made meaningful changes in the front office. We discuss what we do if they don't, the hilarious Mike D'Antoni and James Harden rumors (why not!), Joel Embiid becoming a dad and the amazing World War III of takes if he had left during the Eastern Conference Finals (why not!), why basketball has been better in the bubble, the Phillies, and the standing vs. sitting wiping de...

Jimmy Butler tormenting Sixers fans every other day in the Eastern Conference Finals. We discuss what we can learn from the Butler time in Philly, and whether we should move on (LOL, move on!).

Once again, the CEO of the Sixers is in the crosshairs of the podcast, Spike gets his comeuppance as every team he's ever made fun of is in the NBA Conference Finals, we discuss Mike D'Antoni as the "lead candidate" for the head coaching job, new Sixers arena locations, a stunning relationship advice segment that involves bowling, having two favorite teams, and the reality of standing wiping. Ente...

In the ultimate comeuppance, the Celtics will meet the Heat in the Eastern Conference Finals. We discuss who we'll be cheering for, who will shame the Sixers the most, and our picks for this ECF of nightmares. We talk about the prospect of running back basically the entire 2020 roster to keep the Sixers from fucking it up worse, trading for Terry Rozier, who Ben Simmons will shoot for. and who was...

Mike theorizes that this is one of the darkest Sixers times in modern history, we discuss Jimmy Butler’s success, Spike’s deleted tweets, the rumor about Billy Donovan and the Sixers, whether Embiid and Simmons are actually Top 15 players, and what you’d say to Adam Silver if you saw h...

An enormous conflict within the hosts on the only Rockets podcast, the Rights To Ricky Sanchez. We talk about Rockets vs. Lakers, which Rockets players would make the Sixers contenders, size vs. toughness, the collapse of the Bucks and what it means about the Sixers, the idea of trading for Chris Paul, a very heavy relationship advice question and a deep dive into the Lorenzo Brown mailbag. The Ri...

"This is not Josh Harris' playground," Philadelphia City Councilperson Helen Gym told us. We discussed the proposed new Sixers arena that Josh Harris and David Blitzer are trying to get tax payers to pay for, and why they should buy it themselves with Helen.

Finally, we discuss the NBA's strike, the responsibility of at...

Josh Harris said he was going to do a deep dive into what went wrong with the Sixers and change it. Elton Brand, who is apparently not one of those things, gave some hints as to what might change. We talked about Brand's comments, the three key people he'll make decisions on (aside from the coach), and the constant ass backwards way the team decides things. We say farewell to Brett Brown, and Thea...

The Sixers fired Brett Brown on 4:59pm, August 24th, 2020. Brett was a good coach and a great guy and went through all of this with us. We'll have a full reaction podcast on the 25th, but we wanted to post our interviews with Brett. The first is from April of 2015, the second from Live Ricky IV, when he was inducted into the Process Hall Of Fame, in September 2019.  The Rights To Ricky Sanchez is...
