I'm I'm Welcome back from the weekend as we are here with our normal shenanigans on the Monday. This is the PHLY Sixers podcast alongside Derek Bodner. Kyle Newbeck, I'm Devon. Givis with you. Bree is in the house producing as always. All of you in the chat. We appreciate to hope you had a great weekend as we get back to it. Basketball. Back this week. But it's not until a Thursday, man. I am really dreading the later part of the summer when I have to pretend that I like baseball for a couple months when there's no other sport in town. Well, I guess the union, but the union are kind of eh right now. Best baseball team in 20 years is like, eh, yeah. Probably 30 years.

Probably 93, right? Yes, it's 93, yeah. So that's not a reflection of their quality. It's a reflection of the quality of the sport that they play. Even though they've changed some of the rules and then speed up the game is no longer. It's still baseball. Okay. Fair nuts. All right. I like it. I'm not hanging on anybody who likes it and it's having fun that this Phillies run.

Anyway, we're losing.

No. game is no longer. It's still baseball. Okay. Fair enough. All right.

I like it. I'm not hanging on anybody who likes it and it's having fun that this Phillies run. Anyway, we're losing the lot. It's not short of the way I get with soccer too. It's like I don't begrudge you for not liking soccer. It's not for everybody. It's not for everything. Is Zach Levine for everybody? No. Thank you for coming today, folks. We'll see you Tuesday. Here once again, but this time because it seems like the price may have

gone down trying to acquire Zach Levine. And if that's the case, if you are detractor of Zach Levine

and maybe another part to it, which we'll get into with that change of stance on the Philadelphia 76s,

Darrell Moore in the front office, maybe targeting Zach Levine change of stance on the Philadelphia 76s, Darrell Mori in the front

office, maybe targeting Zach Levine instead of some of the other things that you would have to do,

like paying Paul George a max contract, trading for Jimmy Butler having to give up,

possibly a number of first round picks, plus extending his contract, Brandon Ingram, you don't like that option.

You don't like some of these other options.

If Zach Levine, which we're about to get to...

We've learned nobody likes any of the options.

Exactly.

So with this change of mind, though, if you don't have to pay as much for a...

He's an all-star player plus some other compensation with it.

So before we get to Derek's thoughts on that, Kyle, you saw this in Casey Johnson, a longtime

Bulls reporter in Chicago.

I had a little, had some info possibly on Zach Levine.

Shout out to Casey Johnson, always plugged in in Chicago, now at NBC Sports over there.

Had a mailbag.
