In today's episode of the Sixers Beat, Rich and I go over some of the moves the Sixers have

made to flesh out the rest of their roster from signing Paul Reed to a two-way contract,

signing Dwight Howard, Justin Anderson, Ryan Brokopf, and Derek Walton, Jr.

We then go over how we think the lineup is going to shape out, what the strengths and weaknesses are, and what they might prioritize at the trade deadline in a couple of months.

All right, welcome everybody. This is Derek Bodner, joined by Rich Hoffman on the Sixers Beat, a part of the Athletics Podcast Network.

We haven't had a whole lot, to be honest, since our last podcast. These Sixers came in with a flurry of activity on draft night and then haven't had a whole lot since then.

Rounded out the roster with some, you know, guys that will come in and out of camp.

I think they now have, what, 14 guaranteed contracts, three non-guaranteed contracts

in the two two ways.

Notably, I think, for a lot of people listening to podcast, brought in Justin Anderson on a, was it a partial guarantee for year one?

Yep, two-year deal.

Probably should have looked that up before starting to talk about it, but bring in Justin

Anderson, former sixer, former process sixer. Is he a process? No, he was post-processed. He was a calendula. Oh, right, Neurer, former Process Sixer. Hmm.

Is he a process?

No, he was post-processed. He was a clangelo. Oh, right, Nearland's fake draft pick. Come on, Derek. Not on the top of my game. Bring in Justin Anderson a previous Sixer. And, uh, yeah, that's nice. It's, it's fine. I mean, it's a familiar face. And he is somebody who theoretically could fit into the bigger wing hole that they, uh, that they have on this team. He is, uh, he's certainly a pretty

physical guy, stout guy at 6-6. He, uh, he hasn't done a whole hell of a lot since leaving the Sixers.

But, you know, as far as a partial guarantee goes, I think that's fine.
