Making an intriguing roster move making a signing who did they sign stay tuned to find out first this is why he subscribed to the channel when there’s a juicy rumor out there on Zack LaVine we cover it when there’s a new Joel M be injury update we talk about it and when

The Sixers make a move we break it down so if you want to stay in the know with all things Sixers year round lock Us in and hit that subscribe button today let’s start off with Zack LaVine are the Sixers out on him you know my thoughts

On it if you’re a real one and you’ve been watching the show I hope so NBA Insider Mark Stein reporting that the Sixers are are not expected to pursue a Zack LaVine trade and we’ve talked about this so much here on the show it hasn’t made any sense it doesn’t make any sense

And it’ll never make any sense to bring Zack LaVine on this basketball team here’s what NBA Insider Mark Stein had to say the 76ers continue to be mentioned as a potential Suitor for Chicago Zack Zack LaVine based on my conversations at the g-league Showcase I continue to believe they shouldn’t be

League sources say that Philadelphia if it indeed makes an inseason trade with the assets received in the Halloween deal that sent James Harden to the Clippers is still prioritizing a two-way player as well as a move that does not limit its future optionality this is great news for the Sixers and Zack

LaVine isn’t anything that the Sixers should be Su should be pursuing as a basketball player and the trade doesn’t really make a a lot of sense because what I’ve said here on this show is that the Sixers need a two-way player Mark Stein saying the same the Sixers also

Aren’t going to make a move in which it affects some of the assets that they acquired in the James Harden deal that’s what Mark Stein had to say and we’ve remained steadfast on this all along that Philadelphia has between 52 and $65 million slotted for next off seon they want that Financial flexibility

Zack LaVine does not give you that Financial flexibility so it’s never made sense for the Sixers to trade for him what’s also interesting is that the market for LaVine with him not playing has plummeted the Chicago Bulls have turned it around a little bit I was talking to Patrick seatman who’s the

Host of our Bulls Channel and he does watch parties and obviously covers the Bulls daily he loves the way that the Bulls are playing right now they have Synergy they’re working as a team they have continuity they’re getting along on the floor they seem to be happier most

Importantly what has Chicago done one without Zack LaVine eight and five that’s not a good look on LaVine whose winning percentage as a player throughout his entire career has not been a good one Zack LaVine just does not play winning basketball and a reason why the Sixers are off to this start why

They have people believing in this team truly for the first time in a little while Nick nurse has this team humming Nick nurse has this team playing a winning formula that is sustainable and you don’t want to bring in a Zach LaVine to Halt and stop that momentum as well

As that progress with that we pop up today’s poll question do you still want LaVine on the Sixers why for yes n for no I want you to let me know and share your thoughts with us down below in the comments section up next on the show

Latest on the Joel embiid turned ankle he hurt that ankle in in that star studded MVP type of performance against the Minnesota Timberwolves late last week at the Wells Fargo Center in South Philadelphia the Timberwolves the number one seed in the Western Conference one of the best offensive teams in the

Entire NBA and Joelle embiid gave him the business now he turned his ankle in the trenches in the paint down low right around the rim uh actually suffered that against Toronto excuse me but the game against Minnesota was obviously really impressive the embiid injury happened against Toronto and in that game against

Toronto he returned and still played excellent basketball is what I meant to say my bad there please forgive me he finished the game but had a little bit of a limp going on and then embiid missed that Christmas game against Miami and his status is uncertain moving forward those types of ankle injuries

Are something where you suffer it especially when you’re the size of Joel embiid you might be able to play through it but then it swells up it starts to hurt a little bit gets a little bit tender and there’s no reason to risk further injury on a fluky play that

Happens all the time in basketball when you turn your ankle stepping on somebody else’s foot this is really apparent and we know this Joel embiid with that performance against Minnesota how he has played all year in the month of December averaging 40 points per game Philadelphia really needs it and he is

The MVP of the league right now in my opinion some people want to say he’s the foul merchant do people understand that when you’re 7 Foot 60 lbs you get fouled because other people can’t guard you and because you’re so physically overpowering the dude is averaging 40

Points per game in the month of December and we’re at the end of the month here that’s really really impressive and after last night’s loss to Miami the Sixers 0 and four this year without the services of Joel embiid now Tobias Harris played pretty well credit to him

He might be watching the show he may have heard me 27 points Kelly UB 25 points Tyrese Maxi have an uncharacteristically bad bad game he was four of 20 down the stretch during that Sixers comeback he couldn’t make a bucket one of eight from three that heat

Defense bothering him a little bit even though Miami did not have Jimmy Butler who was out with the calf strain only 12 points Hami HZ really good game 31 points the rookie out of UCLA continuing to play really well bam out Bay you knew that he was going to give the Sixers

Trouble without the services of embid 26 and 15 for him and then Tyler hero can’t play a lick of Defense really solid microwave score on the offensive end of the floor 22 points in this Christmas matchup which was doled a little bit without embiid or Jimmy Butler playing

Final score 119 113 we’ll continue to monitor the status of Joel embiid I imagine he’s going to be able to return hopefully at some point this week get well soon JoJo the process type 21 to send him bead some love Down Below in that comment section coming up next here

Meals.com nb50 so the Sixers over the weekend signing Kenneth Lofton to a two-way deal played a little bit with the Memphis Grizzlies really liked his game in college because as you can see the body type is somewhat interesting pause but a thicker dude who when you look at him

Doesn’t look as though he’s that good of an athlete but he’s really physical moves well for his size he can move bodies around down low and he can kind of handle the basketball a little bit having versatility to his game W tweeting this out on December 23rd over

The weekend the 76ers signed the forward and Center Kenneth Lofton that’s another thing positional versatility for him on a two-way contract Lofton played parts of the past two seasons with the Memphis Grizzlies he adds depth to the Sixers Front Line the corresponding roster move for Philadelphia the Sixers are waving guard javante

Smart off of his two-way deal he was with this team playing with them in the NBA Summer League Lofton has been great in the g-league and the level of play at the G League level isn’t even the level of play in the NBL in Australia in the professional leagues in China even in

Some of the European leagues like when Luca dones was playing for Real Madrid the G League competition is not good these numbers though pretty impressive and they go to show you that he does have some ability now in the G League you’re going up against some guys who

Aren’t as physically gifted who might not have the prerequisite size so Lofton is able to body guys up a little bit more than he can at the NBA level but man look at the numbers 20 points per game 10 and a half rebounds connecting on about 54% of his shots and given that

Body size we’ll throw the word girth out there some people have seen at the NBA level that he he can move bodies around in the trenches and he can get physical and that’s the type of depth that the Sixers are adding to this front court all g-league first teamer and Rookie of

The Year in 2022 2023 playing under the Grizzlies organization provides a little bit of interior scoring rebounding and he is going to shoot some threes and at the NBA level he had a career high 42 points against the Oklahoma City Thunder last year so he’s had moments at the NBA

Level consistent see a little bit of an issue and that’s why he’s gone back and forth between the NBA level and the g-league level he’s going to provide just a little bit more big man depth and I’ve been a little bit underwhelmed by Mo bomba I know that he can hit some

Threes from time to time but the coaching staff with Philadelphia the coaching staff with Orlando they clearly see Los Angeles Lakers something is missing in the day-to-day process for moama and that’s why he doesn’t get consistent minutes despite the crazy athletic length but often adding a

Little bit of depth there on that front line and he is still a young and developing player who I believe played his college ball at Louisiana Tech so welcome Kenneth Lofton Jr to Philadelphia type KL in the comment section as you venture down there to welcome Kenny I want you to hit that
