Summary

The long-time CEO of the Sixers and HBSE, Scott O'Neil, was pushed out this week on the heels of his book release tour for his new best-seller, Be Where Your Feet Are. Fox Sports' Yaron Weitzman joins the pod to talk about what he learned about O'Neil in the reporting for his book, Tanking To The Top, what could have been at the heart of his departure, and what could be next. Yaron also talks about his recent piece about Ben Simmons for Fox Sports. Then, the Ricky's own Mike O'Connor joins the pod to talk about his ten made-up Simmons trades, what the market could be for him, and whether the Sixers have enough to make two big deals.

The Rights To Ricky Sanchez is presented by Draft Kings Sportsbook.

Adam Ksebe is the official realtor of The Process.

LL Pavorsky is where Rights To Ricky Sanchez listeners go and get engaged.
