Rights To Ricky Sanchez: The Sixers Podcast

We saw our first glances of the 2015-16 Sixers this week, and the results were... mixed. We talk about our first thoughts on the Okafor/Noel frontcourt, the Canaan/anyone backcourt, and just what Furkan Aldemir might be good at, and announce our big interview and bus trip details. The Rights To Ricky Sanchez is brought to you by LL Pavorsky Jewelers in Philadelphia!

Could it be? Actual Sixers basketball is coming! We break down the happy training camp, what we're looking for on Tuesday night, who the hell Dragan Bender is, opine on Pierre Jackson, talk about the potential bus trip, and take Twitter questions. 

A big week in the world of future-former Sixers. Anthony Bennett wasn't claimed, Gerald Wallace  was waived, and Paul George seemed a little grumpy. As well, Nik Stauskas agreed to come on the Ricky. All of this, as well as some Twitter questions, Spin's fraudulent 50 Greatest Fictional Songs list , and Brett Brown's interview. Also, watch Mike's new show, The Grinder!

We're a week (approximately) out from Sixers training camp, thank goodness nothing else big happens today in Philadelphia sports! We predict who may make the roster, talk about the death of Moses Malone, the possibility of Allen Iverson in the Basketball Hall Of Fame, take a bunch of Twitter questions, and salute two Sixers employees who are no longer Sixers employees.

The podcast is back. We thank the natives for being restless and impatient. We'll be back on schedule now. The Sixers signed a point guard! By signing Kendall Marshall and trading for the contract of Gerald Wallace, the team has now acquired everyone they were supposed to during this era of Sixers basketball. We talk about Marshall, and catch up on everything we missed, including Embiid's surgery,...

We break down the Sixers schedule, game by game, Joel Embiid will finally have surgery, discuss the Liberty Ballers Sixers Trade Value series, make up possible trades to kill the time until October, and take some Twitter questions. By the way, the Ricky isn't going anywhere. We promise.

Welcome home, Gerald Wallace. In a move that Sixers Nation has been predicting for what seems like a decade, the Sixers obtained future former future Sixer Gerald Wallace and his contract in a trade for Jason Thompson that seems hilariously insignificant and significant. We talk about the trade, Joel Embiid's surgery delay, who the point guard will be and battle over updside.

Summer League was great! It was horrible! It was greatly horrible! Winners and losers from Summer League, updated Embiid thoughts, hot dog sandwiches, four-year Hinkie specials, Scottie Wilbekin and maybe the end of Trust The Process?

What is there to say? Bad Joel Embiid news. Embiid, Summer League, Sauce Castillo and Kevin Durant talk in the new Ricky.

One day, we see a crack in our trust in the process. The next day, we wake up to maybe one of the most one-sided trades we've ever seen. WELCOME TO PHILLY, SAUCE! We break down the trade with the Kings, our more tempered draft reactions, NBA free agency, the Jimmy Butler meeting that never happened, a summer league primer, and a new rallying cry.

That didn't go as planned. Do we still trust the process? We talk through it on the night of the draft.

Forget about setbacks, buyouts and all that nonsense. The NBA Draft is in 48 hours. Spike and Mike give their final big boards, and do it without a guest for once. Rest in peace to the great Harvey Pollack. He will be missed by many.

The draft is just days away, and we haven't had any setbacks. Things are just not healing as quickly as we'd like them to. We recap the week in Sixers, including the new uniforms, Spike's fight on WIP, and the lack of updates on Joel Embiid. Then the guys have real life NBA Scout Elan Vinokurov, founder of EV Hoops on to explain what the life of a scout is like, his relationship with NBA teams, an...

This is what we had written for the podcast that was supposed to be recorded on Friday. Well, maybe they want Dario now. There are some rumors that the Sixers would like Dario Saric to come over to the NBA this season. Are these rumors for real? Who knows, but let's talk about them anyway! We also discuss the team's decision to not say "Wells Fargo," Andre Iguodala, NBA Finals MVP, Spike's run-in...

The draft is two and a half weeks away! Spike and Mike discuss the NBA Finals, go over their big boards, and talk about the NBA Draft with SB Nation's Ricky O'Donnell. Follow him on Twitter  @SBN_Ricky. Follow the show on Twitter with our intern Phillip, @RTRSPodcast.  And go to rightstorickysanchez.com , because Spike paid $10 for it.  Finally, this is episode #76 of RTRS, thank you so much for l...

One month before the draft, and we're YouTube central over here on the Rights To Ricky Sanchez. We talk about getting the Ricky some respect, the NBA Playoffs, some recent Philadelphia media Sixers #HotTakes, and of course, get deep into the Hezonja love with Derek Bodner, as well as every other player who the Sixers may take at #3.

Who'd have guessed, two years ago when we started The Rights To Ricky Sanchez podcast would be doing a live version, that barely anyone could hear, in a packed Buffalo Wild Wings, in front of hundreds... (deep breath through nose) AND HUNDREDS of the pod's supporters? No one would have guessed that. You'd be a moron to have guessed that. But it happened, and it sounds, well, it sounds like it soun...

The Sixers did not get #OneSixEleven, but the Lottery Party was a huge success. Spike and Mike wrap up the party and what it means for the Sixers to get #3. 

Finally, a talk about the draft on the Ricky that involves two people! Spike has finally watched a bunch of YouTube, and has some barely informed opinions. We go over who the Sixers may pick in the draft, take some fantastic Twitter questions, talk about the current NBA Playoffs, Bill Simmons' exit from ESPN, a jigsaw and more!

The podcast is a SWEET one. Of course, we talk about Marcus Mariota. We discuss the NBA R.O.Y. vote, the social media dude from the Rockets getting canned, the loss of Chad Iske, the NBA playoffs and former Sixers still playing, the reports that the Sixers like D'Angelo Russell, Dario Saric and some Twitter questions. There is now a DEADLINE to order the #RTRS and Liberty Ballers Lottery Party T-S...

Another season in the books, and it was one of the best in the last decade, perhaps the best. The fact that we're saying that about a team that won 18 games says a lot about a lot of things. We'll let you decide what those are. We give out year end awards, including Team MVP, The Ricky Sanchez Award, Lickface Of The Year, and much more (including a rap song by Hollis Thompson).

First of all, the RTRS/Liberty Ballers Lottery Party is ANNOUNCED. It's 5/19 at Buffalo Wild Wings in the Northeast. The t-shirts are amazing and are available for $5 for pickup at the party. On today's Ricky, we take a bunch of questions from Twitter, a TANKATHON update, Spike goes in on Liberty Ballers commenters, Mike reveals which questions he wanted to ask Brett Brown and didn't, and some tal...

When you think about it, when you really think about it, the only thing of any value in the NBA that is in any way associated with New England is Brett Brown. And he's all ours. We were lucky enough to have the 2014-15 NBA Coach Of The Year on the Rights To Ricky Sanchez podcast. He was as charming as you'd imagine. As an aside, we will have ALL Lottery Party details, as well as t-shirts sales up...

The Nerlens Noel Rookie Of The Year push is in full force. WHY NOT US?! WHY NOT NERLENS?! An update on the Lottery Party T-Shirts, how Ish Smith has made the Sixers better, an update on MCW, a hot take about Brett Brown, the Clippers are annoying, Sixers Nerd Armageddon, Twitter questions, a draft update, an AMAZING Tony Wroten story, and a Wrestlemania Preview with Ange Goldstein.

What a week it's been for Ish Smith! Spike and Mike tackle Ish's revival, his stats vs. Michael Carter-Williams, some Twitter questions, Nerlens Rookie Of The Year momentum, wins over the Kings and Hawks, Mike's big board, Glenn Robinson III, some quick lottery party updates, and perhaps the most awful Jigsaw of all time.
