The Drop Step The Drop Step

An MVP, an All-Star, 5 draft picks and $55,000,000 in cap space. The Philadelphia 76ers have all of the above, Ricky Council III and the rest is a blank canvas. In a move to build a championship team round Joel Embiid and Tyrese Maxey this summer Daryll Morey has created flexibility that most GM's would dream of. Heading into free agency they have the room to sign any player and with their stash of draft picks traidng for a star isn't out of the question.
So... Why not get the Slopfather himself, TrillBroDude of the You Know Ball podcast, on The Drop Step to dissect every move Philadelphia could make this offseason? We talk about upgrading the Nic Batum spot (by signing LeBron James), a Jimmy Butler reunion, Joel Embiid morphing into Brook Lopez and tonnes more on the star front.
We wrap the podcast up talking about some of our favourite guys from the 2024 draft but most importantly this episode was a blast to record! Trill is great and we cooked up some plans that could see Philadelphia vault back into contention.
Give it a listen!

Angst and anguish are apt words for describing the emotions and feeling of Minnesota sports fans for the best part of a century. Since George Mikan and the Minneapolis Lakers sailed away to sunnier Western coast shores the "Land of 10,000 Lakes" has failed ot make a major splash on the USA sporting scene; all too often leaving their fans drowning in misery. But... Say it quietly. All that might be about to change. Minnesotan Basketball analysts Emmett Laurent and Andrew Dukowitz join the pod to recap the Wolves feasting on the Suns in their first round series. We speak about stand out performers like Anthony Edwards, Jaden McDaniels and Nikeil Alexander Walker and dare to dream about making the finals. I had great fun with these two, particularly in discussing the defensive coverages Chris Finch and co employed to stop Phoenix; ball knowers of the highest order, make sure to go and check them out!
