Today's episode of The Sixers Beat, Rich and I talk about the Sixers signing Ryan Brokeoff,

about the NBA releasing the schedule for the final eight games of the regular season

and some of the developments which might impact the NBA's return to play in Orlando.

Enjoy the podcast.

All right, welcome, everybody.

This is Derek Bodner, joined by Rich Hoffman on the Sixers Beat, a part of the Athletic Podcast Network.

How you doing, Rich?

We have some a little, little bit of news to talk about.

It's a little bit.

It's a slow trickle.

I enjoyed the ESPN show trying to drag it as long as possible. I think I really sat there

about eight minutes in and thought, are they really not going to release everybody's schedule

until eight o'clock online? And they didn't go that far, but yeah, it does go to show that we are starved for, for programming. And I'm sure there were way too many eyeballs on that schedule, at least. I thought about that. Well, because I wrote about something earlier today about Ryan Brokoff, that guy, as we talked about earlier before the podcast. But like, I'm sitting there watching Syrenj. I'm like, I don't, I don't need to be like, no, what am I doing with my Friday night? Like, this is Ryan broke off. He's a 17th guy on the roster. He probably isn't going to play. But it is, it is just like, holy crap, that is like a normal basketball transaction that we can talk about and we can make too much about. And boy,

did I miss that in my life. Boy, did I miss that one in my life. Absolutely. So do we start

off with the accountant or do we go with the schedule or how do we want to go with this one?

So let's do, wait, who's the accountant? That's his nickname according to basketball reference.

Ryan broke off.

And we know those are always very accurate.

They're always right.

Sean Foreman, who is a Philadelphia resident and a 76ers fan.

He would never make those up.

Let's go with the accountant and let's do this.
