Adam Silver, at Sloan, says NBA has to address tanking.

"We are going to make substantial changes for next year. On one hand you can completely divorce the draft from teams' records...That would be a major shock to the system. Not to completely forecast where we're going but I am an incrementalist"

The Charlotte Hornets now have better odds to win the Eastern Conference than the Sixers. This is not a drill.

Re-Grading Top 2026 NBA Trade Deadline Deals 1 Month Later Believe it or not, an entire month has passed since the 2026 NBA trade deadline. Is that enough to change our initial impressions on the biggest moves?

@danfavale.bsky.social took an absolute blowtorch to the Sixers when re-grading the Jared McCain trade.

Bravo, good sir.

Sixers' Star Pursuit at the NBA Trade Deadline Shows They're Still Stuck in the Past The Sixers reportedly wanted to go

Yesterday, KOC reported that the Sixers were sniffing around Kawhi Leonard at the trade deadline.

At On SI, I wrote about how that shows they've learned nothing about the current NBA.

The Bills were among the teams monitoring the AJ Brown situation, but this trade knocks them out of that sweepstakes.

Why the Dialogue Around the Jared McCain Trade Has Gone Too Far The Sixers can either let that day change their season or they can continue to pursue a goal that is bigger than that move.

The trade deadline was a month ago. Yet you don't have to go far to find outrage that burns intensely over every moment Jared McCain has been on the court in Oklahoma City.
