The best Sixers news and articles from the week ending 1/1/2022.
- League executives expect Sixers acting on Ben Simmons deal at deadline – Could a deal for Ben Simmons happen this season? Morey is going to wait for the best possible deal. Hopefully, that happens before the end of this season so that we can see where they might end up. Adding a player like Bradley Beal or Jaylen Brown could make this team a real contender.
- Doc Rivers believes Georges Niang is the perfect player for Sixers – Georges Niang has been a great addition to the team. He is shooting nearly 40% from three and really helps open up space for Joel. He is replacing Mike Scott and as much as I liked Mike Scott, Niang is a HUGE upgrade at an inexpensive price.
- Sixers rumors: Cavs are team to watch in Ben Simmons trade saga – I don’t want any of the Cavaliers players in trade for Simmons, but I like that Wojanowski is talking about them as being very interested. We may be getting closer.
- Sixers take care of business with win over Wizards in D.C. – A big win against a team that has a star who may want to play for a real championship. Beal wasn’t playing so he had lots of time to see what it would be like to play with Joel.
- Film study: Tyrese Maxey continues to dazzle, channeling his inner Steve Nash, Tony Parker – Tyrese Maxey is playing way better than we could have asked of a second year player learning a new position. His 25 points and 5-8 three point shooting was key in the big win over Brooklyn. This article does a great job explaining some of the more impressive play that he has had.
- Sixers express happiness for Dan Burke after first career win over Nets – Dan Burke has been a good coach for years. It is nice to see him get a chance to lead the team to a big win.
