There goes Johni Broome. This financially clears the way for the Sixers to officially sign Kentavious Caldwell-Pope, but costs them a second-rounder.

Spotted on today's run in Philadelphia... 👑

Been reading more and more about the idea that VJ Edgecombe's development is now somehow derailed by playing alongside LeBron, Brown and Sixers' newly-stacked lineup... Frankly, I think the opposite is true, so I wrote about it 👇 www.libertyballers.com/76ers-analys...

No, VJ Edgecombe’s development is not doomed by new Sixers lineupNow that the dust has settled on the additions of LeBron James and Jaylen Brown to the Sixers lineup, discussion has shifted to how their presence may affect the development of young guard VJ Edgecomb...www.libertyballers.com

I believe the Sixers COULD stretch-and-waive Johni Broome to make space/money needed to officially sign Kentavious Caldwell-Pope. They would owe Broome $300,000 this season instead of $2.1m, allowing them to sign KCP for $3.9m and stay JUST below the apron.

Figured this was one of a few moves coming with space needing to be made for LeBron and KCP. The other remaining non-guaranteed player currently on the Sixers books is Jabari Walker (becomes guaranteed Jan. 2027)

One of the funnier things I've been seeing RE: LeBron is "oh just wait until Philly fans boo him!"... even IF that happens at some point for some reason, don't you think LeBron is aware of that possibility after 20+ years in the NBA? Also he's a big boy I think he'll be okay.

VJ Edgecombe reacts on IG with his take on the "smiling through it all" LeBron James meme 😂 and shares a graphic of the Sixers new starting five

Well, now that the dust has settled, a little self promotion time... Sixers fans, Lebron fans, new bandwagoners, whoever! Stay turned with @libertyballers.bsky.social for all things Sixers all the time, and follow me here for highlight videos, articles and analysis throughout the season!

Hard to tell, but I think Tyrese Maxey is excited for the Lebron news too 😂

Taking a look at what Vegas thinks of the Sixers with LeBron James... Philly is now a CLOSE 2nd (behind NYK) for odds to win the Eastern Conference, and 4th for the NBA Championship (via FanDuel)

This isn't a commentary on the trade at all, sincerely, but man Zaccharie Risacher feels like easily the weakest No. 1 pick since Markelle Fultz, right? (and that was just bad Sixers voodoo magic, kid never stood a chance really)

Respect to Lebron for his career and legacy as a baller but it's obvious he is going to drag out this attention-fest as long as possible so I've just completely checked out mentally until the announcement is actually made.

Dear god that Summer League Sixers game was ugly. The only one who wasn't a complete mess, fortunately, was No. 22 pick Labaron Philon. 17 PTS (7-11 FG, 1-3 3PT), 4 AST, 2 REB, 2 STL, 1 BLK

"I was getting a pedicure and Jameer was calling me. I didn't see it then I see the message that says 'call me ASAP' I was kinda scared, cause like this the start of free agency, why the VP telling me to call him ASAP?" VJ Edgecombe on learning of the Jaylen Brown trade

Home Run Derby film is in (part 1)

Program note that I won't personally be around for Saturday's Sixers game, but I will be catching up and throwing together highlights from it on Sunday!

I'll be honest, I don't always have the mental capacity for yet another social media site for every single update/post... but I am going to try to make sure at least my highlight reels make it on here too throughout the season (especially since Bluesky upgraded the limits) 👏

Last but not least for our first Summer League game, taking a look at Dante Maddox Jr. Another guy that deserves some attention throughout this seasonal campaign after today. 21 PTS (7-13 FG, 4-6 3PT) 4 REB, 1 STL vs. Pistons
