One of the great fraud schemes of the last 5 years is Garrett Stubbs making the Phillies think he’s a Major Leaguer.

Another workout featuring Tyrese Maxey, LeBron James, and Jaylen Brown has dropped on Instagram (courtesy of Chris Johnson). Lot of Maxey/LeBron two-man game and Maxey flaring away from the ball for 3s.
Tyrese Maxey’s signature defensive play is a home run when it works and a double play when it fails. With this offensive firepower, it will be an unstoppable play when it works. The problem will be living with the moments it doesn’t work: www.si.com/nba/76ers/on...
One of Tyrese Maxey's Best Defensive Attributes May Actually Hurt the Sixers
Maxey's trademark defensive decision is suddenly a contradiction.

VJ Edgecombe started Monday's FIBA Qualifier shooting 7/8 on 3s. I thought about what it would mean for the Sixers if he became a 37-40% 3pt shooter this season. I landed here: For the first time, I don't know what to expect from a healthy Joel Embiid. www.si.com/nba/76ers/on...
For the First Time, I Don't Know What to Expect From Joel Embiid
Somewhere in the middle of the Phillies' dramatic victory over the Arizona Diamondbacks on Monday night, I turned to my dad and read off a piece of V.J. Edgecom

No one wants to hear Eagles chants at a Phillies game. Hearing it through the tv at 1 AM with the Phillies in extra innings is like knives to the ears.
I only know Emmy Rossum from Shameless and Mystic River but she’s so damn good in Furious. Must-watch on Hulu.
The Sixers announce that you can shop for jerseys including Jaylen Brown, LeBron James, Joel Embiid, Tyrese Maxey and VJ Edgecombe—as well as other new merch—at OutPHItters, the team store in Xfinity Mobile Arena tomorrow and Wednesday from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m.
I wrote about Phil Handy, the new assistant on Nick Nurse's staff with extensive history working with LeBron James, Austin Reaves, Kyrie Irving, Rui Hachimura and others: www.si.com/nba/76ers/on...
Sixers Reportedly Hiring Assistant Coach With Extensive History With LeBron James
When he talks, players will listen.

If Nikola Jokic gets tired of Kroenke being cheap, the Sixers could certainly use a backup center….
The Sixers' first 20 games are against teams with intentions of making the playoffs. They have the talent to beat anyone. But the first quarter of the season will challenge their philosophies: www.si.com/nba/76ers/on...
How the Sixers' Early Schedule Will Challenge Their Philosophies
15 of those 20 games are against teams that will be jockeying for postseason positioning in their respective conferences.

The NBA announced the Sixers will host the Knicks in NBA Cup play on Friday, October 30. So 2 matchups with NYK in the first 10 days of the season.
Want one ticket to sit baseline by the visitors’ bench in LeBron/Jaylen Brown’s first game in Philadelphia? Cool, 21 grand, please.
I really, strongly dislike almost everything about the local baseball team.
The Sixers’ home-opener is October 22 vs the Cleveland Cavaliers, 7 PM.
For someone billed as having had a 'disease', Jaylen Brown's first impression in Philadelphia was authentically humble. But talk is cheap in August: www.si.com/nba/76ers/on...
Jaylen Brown Said All the Right Things, but Summer Words Are Always Cheap
One of the Sixers' most formidable opponents this season could be themselves. Will egos leave them with regrets?

I tried to capture the way Jaylen Brown felt today, as someone who is embracing his new home while still coming to grips with betrayal from the place that raised him the last 10 years: www.si.com/nba/76ers/on...

Jaylen Brown’s grandfather is celebrating his 84th birthday today and the Sixers presented him with a custom jersey.
Jaylen Brown says he and Jayson Tatum have “not really” talked since the trade. Said he’ll always respect Tatum and wishes him well except when he plays the Sixers.
Jaylen Brown said LeBron James is active in the team group chats and that the players are talking every day. Says they understand the opportunity they have.
“My mind is so focused on what’s in front of me. I’m moving on.” - Jaylen Brown on what he disliked about the way his time in Boston ended
LeBron will have the ball in his hands a ton, but the Sixers can leverage his size as a weapon, too. I wrote about how they can use James as a screener to add layers to their offense: www.si.com/nba/76ers/on...
How the Sixers Can Use LeBron James As a Screener
At 6-foot-9 and 250 pounds, James is not misfit to do some of the things that true forwards do.
