All right, welcome everybody. I'm joined by Mike o'connor of the athletic

how you doing buddy we got some stuff to talk about we do man uh i'm doing pretty well

didn't have much of a saturday but uh no it's you know what it was worth it and here we are

recording a podcast somebody sent me somebody on reddit who was complaining because

three other podcasts had

beaten us to talking about this. And it was like, all right, well, I got, I got Rich, my main co-host out

in Memphis. I wrote 3,500 words and did a podcast with Sam Vassini. I kind of had my daybook,

but we are here. We will give you that Sixers talk, which right now, even though it's Dallas Sunday,

Yeah, I mean, the buy and them trade everybody freaked out about, but that's because we were so desperate.

Like, we were desperate for anything to make us relevant that we all lost our shit.

In terms of turning the Sixers into a title contender, I mean, look, there just aren't many periods in this history where there are a real legitimate title contender.

If this trade ends up being one of them,

yeah, it's going to be one of the biggest trades in franchise history for sure.

We could argue that maybe some of the deals which got us to this point would also be the biggest trades in franchise history. But then you're getting into a Jimadair level flow chart, and we don't need to do that on this podcast. You know, I think before we kind of get too far into it,
