This week, we're looking to the Sixers future as their season is almost at an end. As you know, we enjoy talking to those individuals who assess and analyze the team. That's why we brought first time guest Pete Sawan (@PeteSawanNBA) from TheSixerSense.com onto the show. There's so many directions the 76'ers can go during the offseason and we'll get into it on this show.
But first, on the Brief News & Views segment:
1. The Eagles make a trade and acquire DT Timmy Jernigan. (6:30)
2. Phillies news and notes: Ryan Howard signs with the Braves club and how things look so far just a few games into the season. (12:50)
3. Fans on their couch can decide the fate of golfers? (23:15)
4. Josh Brown's medical redshirt designation is good for Temple basketball. (28:20)
5. The Flyers call up Morin and Vecchione. (32:35)
Our Listener Feedback this week focused on the Flyers. Should Travis Konecny be moved up to the second line at this point in the season and rebuilding this Flyers team is becoming a necessity. (37:25)
And then what we're throwing down on the Table is an interview and in-depth discussion with Pete Sawan, writer and contributor at The Sixer Sense. There are many questions to ask and answer after this up and down Sixers season where we saw phenomenal basketball from Joel Embiid, yet were disappointed with Ben Simmons' injury. A topic that needed to be focused on was the team's medical staff and whether or not issues continue to persist based on player re-injuries. We reflected on last year's free agency and the kind of General Manager Bryan Colangelo may become for this franchise. Should the team have tanked after Embiid's injury? Could the Sixers become a playoff team next year? And how could the Sixers draft position lead to better days ahead? We get into it this week with Pete! (48:50)
