New: I watched a full VJ Edgecombe game from behind the basket, singularly focused on the No. 3 overall pick’s every move. I did my best to hit on every single aspect of Edgecombe’s game that stood out to me. And there was a whole lot to process here: phillyvoice.com/sixers-news-an…
Bad news NY football fans, your favorite basketball team just gained another Eagles fan
The New Orleans Pelicans are waiving two-way guard Lester Quinones, sources told @hoopshype. He averaged 8.6 points in 9 games for the Pelicans and 21.6 points, 6.9 rebounds, 4.8 assists, and 1.4 steals in 41 games with Birmingham Squadron and Delaware Blue Coats in the G League.
New: I've thought a lot about the Phillies' options at the trade deadline over the last few months, notably in the outfield. With Max Kepler struggling & a Justin Crawford call-up potentially looming, I wrote about 10 outfielders the Phillies may pursue: phillyvoice.com/mlb-trade-dead…
My time at ESPN has come to an end. Thanks to everyone, past and present, who helped me grow professionally the past 8 years. Although ESPN offered an extension, we were unable to find alignment on my value to the company. I will continue to analyze the NBA Draft, college, high…
OFFICIAL: Shake Milton is leaving the NBA to sign a 2-year deal with Partizan Belgrade.
New: Lonnie Walker was unlikely to return to the Sixers when his $2.9M team option was declined, but the door really closed when the team re-signed Kyle Lowry & Eric Gordon. Some thoughts on Walker's brief time with the Sixers as he heads overseas again: phillyvoice.com/sixers-news-an…
Bryson Stott... changed his walk-up song... swung at an 0-0 pitch... and hit a 108.5 MPH double?
Butler's table-setting skills on offense are real, and his strides in three-point volume late last season could help turn him into a quality backup point guard NBA if he can hold it into next season. Probably the kind of shot Phoenix should take with its point guard situation.
Jared Butler is good. He deserves this shot with Phoenix.
New: Jared Butler's tenure with the Sixers is officially over, as the former trade deadline acquisition is headed to the Phoenix Suns. Some thoughts on Butler's time in Philadelphia & the overwhelmingly likely outcome of his departure coming to fruition: phillyvoice.com/sixers-news-an…

Trendon Watford (@trendonw) will wear No. 12 for the #Sixers. Number last worn by Jared Butler in 2025. #NBA
New: I watched as much Trendon Watford film as possible, then clipped as much as I could, from Watford’s unique passing at 6’9” to his unorthodox scoring methods. Welcome to the first SIXERS FILM STUDY of the summer! How does Watford fit with the Sixers? phillyvoice.com/sixers-news-an…
Sometimes you just gotta throw on some cowboy boots
Had not registered with me that there have literally been zero incentives in free agency this year. Makes sense given the apron rules. If you have interest in salary cap stuff, you should be subscribed to Third Apron. Really good work from Yossi here:
New post on Third Apron: No player has received incentives in this year's free agency. I explain why and give examples to show why they're frowned upon in the NBA's new apron environment. thirdapron.com/p/the-death-of…
