5 days ago | libertyballers.com | Sean Kennedy

Garrabrant/NBAE via Getty Images Law Murray of The Athletic published the site’s annual NBA Player Tiers column, their spin on a league-wide ranking of the top players within The Association. As you might expect for a team that finished with the fifth-worst record in the league, these rankings are not littered with a multitude of Philadelphia 76ers. In fact, only three Sixers are mentioned among the group of top-125 players. Let’s take a look at where they reside.
Report: Departing Kings GM Monte McNair has ‘possible prospects’ in Philadelphia

Photo by Rocky Widner/NBAE via Getty Images The 2024-25 NBA regular season is over, the Play-In Tournament is underway, and the playoffs loom this weekend. Believe it or not, the Philadelphia 76ers were not the only organization dissatisfied with how the season went. After losing the 9-vs-10 Play-In Tournament game to the Dallas Mavericks Wednesday night, the Sacramento Kings parted ways with general manager Monte McNair.

Photo by Mitchell Leff/Getty Images This was a rough season. I can feel the pain through the comments section of the mailbag. What started as a prompt for questions quickly devolved into a group therapy session. Trust me, it was a rough year for all of us. Answering your questions has actually been cathartic. Anyways, let’s dive into the questions you did present. It’s an interesting thought. This season featured some of the most brazen tanking efforts the NBA has seen.

Editor-in-chief mailbag: At last, it’s finally over ...

Bill Streicher-USA TODAY Sports Hello, friends. We freaking did it. We made it through one of the most disappointing seasons in Sixers history. The only saving grace is the terrific tank job the team did down the stretch to secure the fifth-best lottery odds in the 2025 NBA Draft. Remember, the Sixers’ first-round pick will convey to the Oklahoma City Thunder if it falls outside the top six. The lottery will take place on May 12 (should we throw a watch party?) with the draft on June 25.
Paul George hoping a summer of health and stability will lead to a bounce-back season

Photo by Mitchell Leff/Getty Images The Sixers signing 34-year-old Paul George to a four-year max extension was risky. He’s dealt with injuries in the past and the team was signing him to play next to Joel Embiid, a player with his own interminable injury history. But even the most Negadelphian among us couldn’t have seen this coming. George played in only 41 injury-marred games, struggling to resemble his nine-time All-Star self for most of them.
Whatever their future looks like, the Sixers are ready to put this year behind them

Photo by Mitchell Leff/Getty Images This isn’t going to be breaking a ton of news here, but the Sixers had a tough year in 2024-25. Going from a popular pick to win the conference in the preseason to trying to lose games for the final month of the season, it was frustrating for everyone involved. A big part of the fanbase’s frustration is that there didn’t seem to be the necessary level of desperation coming from the team as they continued to spiral.

Sixers’ season from hell comes to an end with loss to Bulls

1 week ago | libertyballers.com | Paul Hudrick

Kyle Ross-Imagn Images Don’t cry because it’s over ... smile because it’s freaking over. The Sixers’ 2024-25 season from hell ended Sunday afternoon with 122-102 loss to the play-in bound (evergreen) Chicago Bulls. The Sixers finish 24-58 on the season, with the fifth-best lottery odds already clinched. Lonnie Walker IV led the team with 31 points on 11-of-23 from the field and 8-of-15 from three.
Sixers face Bulls to finish season, with lottery odds secure

Photo by Jesse D. Garrabrant/NBAE via Getty Images It’s finally here. After all the injuries, losses, and late season tank effort, the Sixers’ final game of the season has arrived. And we’re entering Sunday’s early contest against the Bulls on a positive note, too, all things considered. The Sixers have locked up the fifth-best lottery odds, which is not only a good result considering the late start to their tank, but also means all pressure is off for their final game.
