Well, the first big news for the Philadelphia 76ers, with all due respect to Trendin Woffert, is Gershan Yabuselli is out.

Heading to the New York Knicks on a two-year deal.

And what's next for the Philadelphia 76ers?

Welcome to the PHLY Sixers, Free Agency Frenzy Podcasts, presented by Rothman Orthopedics.

I'm Devon Givens with you solo.

Going back to my roots a little bit for a few minutes here as Kyle and Derek are at the first day of Sixers Summer League practice.

So with that, you got me, you got Bree, president of basketball operations as we go through this one together.

Immediate reaction on the deal as Gershian Yawesi, two years, $12 million to head to the New York Knicks.

0:46.9

That's the full mid-level exception for the New York Knicks and the veteran forward now heading to the rival Knicks for this one. So I understand a lot of

Reports yesterday also that they're going to pick up Jordan Clarkson on a one-year deal. So heading to the rival Knicks is not ideal for Sixers,
