First Craigory told us about a big name NBA player who could possibl...

BUT FIRST, MORE SLOP UP TOP. We dissected Daryl Morey's interview on Mikey Miss and talked about a few things that he could be hinting at as far as trade targets on the Kings, Hawks and maybe one other team/player that could be involved. Most importantly we tried to figure out who is the "top 40" player that Morey is talking about? We also touched on a report by our guy Keith Pompey, Jason Dumas'...

Another week, another slopfest. But first, the Blue Chew Review of the Week. Next on this episode we had on Brenden Nunes of the Kings Herald, Kings Pulse Podcast and the Sacramento Bee to talk about a possible Ben Simmons (and Tobias Harris?) deal to the Kings. We discussed every aspect of why a deal could happen and why the Kings and Sixers demands in negotiations could prove to be too much for...

Marty Teller (@MWTeller) finally returned to the podcast to talk about all the latest rumors surrounding Ben Simmons and the Sixers. We talked about a ton of stuff including: Hawks wing/big John Collins to the Sixers, where local and national insiders are getting their information from during the Ben Simmons saga, and Tobias Harris possibly being on the move in addition to Ben. Marty gave us one i...

Matt aka @PanasonicDX4500 and I talked about everything going on with the Sixers and a ton of other random sidebars. Topics included Jason Dumas’ latest Ben Simmons report, the Kings possibly being open to moving De’Aaron Fox or Tyrese Haliburton, the undefeated Dan Burke era, the Sixers five game winning streak, Joel Embiid being dominant again, Tobias vs. Sixers fans and way more shit I couldn’t...

Kyle Bennett and Matt Castorina from the Underground Sports Philadelphia podcast joined me to do a deep dive into the the Sixers new “partnership” with Colorstar Technology including a web of lies, conspiracies, fake people, fake companies and fake credentials.

Andrew Unterberger (@AUGetOffMyGold) from the Rights to Ricky Sanchez podcast joined me for a positive conversation where we talked about all the good things with the Sixers like adult human beings with normal brains. First we talked about not living and dying with every regular season game like it’s life or death this year and how we should do this more often! Then we talked about some things we...

Steve Lipman (@SteveJLipman) from Liberty Ballers and the Gastroenteritis Blues podcast is back on to remind us that time is a flat circle and Ben Simmons is still a Sixer. We reviewed Daryl Morey’s first year as Sixers GM where he made some good moves, some “almost” moves that drive us nuts, while also providing a lack of creativity and possibly overvaluing Ben Simmons’ trade value. Next we dove...

Derek Bodner (@DerekBodnerNBA) joins us this week to discuss his fantastic newsletter The Daily Six, his departure from The Athletic, Matisse Thybulle's awkward fit, and the uphill battle of building a championship caliber team around Joel Embiid. In the second half of the episode Derek responded to some listener questions from the You Know Ball Discord and offered some insight into the front offi...

THE DAY WE HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR IS HERE ... and it probably means nothing.  Cliff aka @_YoCliff from the SI6 podcast returns! To start this episode we talked about some conspiracy brain shit inspired by Woj and Zach Lowe's  Ben Simmons trade report from Friday. Specifically focused on why Woj used the term "top 25" player in the report. We also asked why does one star NBA player's name...

Mark Schindler (@MSchindlerNBA) from Basketball News, Indy Cornrows and more returns this week to talk about the Indiana Pacers’ “reset” and how possible trades involving Domantas Sabonis, Myles Turner, and Caris LeVert could shake up the NBA trade market and potentially effect the Sixers. We also touched on the Blazers falling apart, De'Aaron Fox vs Tyrese Maxey, the hierarchy of the Eastern Conf...

Damian Lillard is a LOSER, Folks - Very Sad! (Feat. @Nihilist_Bucks) Friend of the pod Nihilist Bucks returns to talk about Dame’s desire to play with “playoff assassin” Ben Simmons. We discussed the ins and outs of the CJ McCollum for Ben trade and why it might be harder to pull off than you think. We then discussed who should be buyers and sellers at the trade deadline, and we revisit our hot ta...

Dave Early (@DavidEarly) from ClutchPoints App and Liberty Ballers returned to discuss all things Sixers related including this past week from hell! First I ranted about Celtics Center Enes Kanter “Freedom” being the lamest man alive. We also talked Dave’s article about the Sixers missing Ben Simmons, why the team just isn’t clicking right now, why it might be time to move from Tobias Harris and r...

This episode I was joined by returning guests Austin Krell (@NBAKrell) and Eric Marturano (@TheEMart) to discuss the latest games from the Sixers including the very weird and frustrating double overtime loss to the Minnesota Timberwolves. Topics included some of the greatest hits including the Sixers lack of a closer, Doc Rivers weird lineup choices and the need to figure out flexibility at the ba...
