"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.

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.

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.

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.

Spoke with Dominick Barlow before the season. The 22-year-old said he’s hoping to find an NBA home with the Sixers. He looked right at home on opening night. libertyballers.com/76ers-fea…
Dominick Barlow sought opportunity in free agency. He might’ve found it with Sixers

Dominick Barlow sought opportunity in free agency. He might’ve found it with Sixers

Dominick Barlow could’ve held out for a standard contract. Instead, he signed a two-way deal with the Sixers, hoping to contribute on a winning team.

Highest scoring debuts in NBA history: VJ Edgecombe is now THIRD ALL-TIME after scoring 34 tonight for Philadelphia. Wilt Chamberlain of course ranks first. A historic debut for the newest Sixer.

Why my heart isn’t in this latest Sixers tank

The Sixers are rightfully losing plenty of games, but this tank job doesn’t have anywhere near the gleeful joy of the original Process.
