The Sixers didn’t get much production out of their rookies in 2012-13, but that doesn’t mean that they won’t down the road. 22-year old forward Arnett Moultrie appears to have a nice upside.

Things didn’t go as planned for the 76ers in 2012-13. They finished up the season with a 34-48 record as they finished tied for last in the Atlantic Division with the Raptors, 20 games behind the New York Knicks. Here are the players that made the biggest impacts in my opinion for the 76ers in [...]
61-year old Doug Collins has stepped down as the head coach of the Philadelphia 76ers. He will get a different job within the organization for the 2013-14 season.

The Philadelphia 76ers picked up the athletic wing Rodney Carney today. The 6′7″ G/F Carney will be a nice addition to the 76ers and will bring some more athleticism to go along with Andre Iguodala’s. New head coach Eddie Jordan will probably look to utilize Carney and his athleticism as Jordan wants to play a [...]
The 76ers have signed reserve center Calvin Booth to replace Steven Hunter as Samuel Dalembert’s backup at center. Booth is known most for his defense because he’s not a good offensive player.

First off I would like to say Im always up for criticism and others opinions and my outlook on this franchise may offend many fans. However as lifelong philadelphia fan I have to strongly disagree on sixers work on the offseason. If boston has taught sixers fans anything its that any franchise can make something [...]
