Sam Hinkie is not listening to your jokes about his awful Sixers

The Sixers are awful. No getting around that at this point. Last season was a complete disaster if you cared about the win column for Philadelphia.

Chris Bosh heads back to the post

Could Keith Bogans help the Cavs land Roy Hibbert?

There have been a number of innocuous trades and roster moves as training camps get set to start. Nothing major. No James Harden trade to wake us up before the season starts or clue us into any master plans. Just minor things.
