"I love Mike Gansey,” Nets coach Jordi Fernandez said. Almost everyone I talked to used those exact words. New story, for @ringer /@ringernba , on the Sixers’ new boss, the superteam he built and his plan for holding it together: theringer.com/2026/10/13/nba…
The Man Behind the NBA’s Most Audacious Superteam

The Man Behind the NBA’s Most Audacious Superteam

He was still learning everyone’s names. Then he landed Jaylen Brown and LeBron. Now Mike Gansey faces an even bigger challenge: making it all work.

Nobody in Philadelphia knew Mike Gansey’s name a few months ago. Now he’ll be remembered forever.

Amazing game last night, but there was a one minute stretch in the first quarter where Sixers fans entered the Bad Place.

I don't really have an opinion on Mike Gansey, but Bob Myers didn't do an exhaustive search only to conclude his kid is the best person for the job so it's better than at least one previous executive hire I can remember.

The Jared McCain trade is the deal that keeps on stinging

The Jared McCain trade is the deal that keeps on stinging

The Oklahoma City Thunder keep winning and Jared McCain keeps shining, which makes moving on from trading him away incredibly difficult.

Having to experience how dumb the Jared McCain trade was in the moment was bad enough, but being reminded of it every time the Thunder play for years to come is some sort of psychological torture.

Everyone has a story. Dominick Barlow’s is unconventional, almost unbelievable and still being written. Feature on one of the Sixers’ unsung heroes this season and his path to the NBA. libertyballers.com/76ers-fea…
Dominick Barlow has a ‘Hollywood story,’ but the ending is far from written

Dominick Barlow has a ‘Hollywood story,’ but the ending is far from written

To say Dominick Barlow’s path to the NBA was unconventional would be a huge understatement.

🚨 BREAKING: Real Madrid's medical staff diagnosed Kylian Mbappé's WRONG KNEE when he first got injured. They checked his right knee, and told him everything's fine, when the actual injury was in his left knee. He then went back to playing for Real Madrid while his knee was injured, and made the injury worse. @RMCSport

Never celebrate owners saving money. They're not lowering your ticket prices, or parking, or concessions. League pass isn't going down. They should pay to compete, and they built a system to make sure they don't have to

Sixers ownership lets down Joel Embiid (again)

Amidst a wide open Eastern Conference, the Sixers chose to actively get worse at the trade deadline in order to make ownership money.

Just don’t duck the tax, Sixers

Just don’t duck the tax, Sixers

The Sixers are around $1.3 million above the luxury tax line as the trade deadline approaches. Let’s hope those two facts aren’t too intertwined.

I will withhold judgment in case there are other moves before tomorrow afternoon, but that’s such a sell low on McCain that looks like a clear tax ducking move. Makes me sad.

In today’s edition of I feel ancient: Andy Reid being the current longest-tenured coach while at his position following leaving the Eagles.

@AdamSchefterJan 13
Mike Tomlin, after 19 seasons with the Steelers, and John Harbaugh, after 18 seasons with the Ravens, are now no longer with their teams. The longest-tenured NFL head coach is now Andy Reid, who has been with the Chiefs since 2013.
