In today's episode of the Sixers Beat, Rich and I discuss the Sixers' trade deadline activity,

where they acquired veteran point guard George Hill for Tony Bradley, Vincent Poill,

Terrence Ferguson, and a slew of second-round draft picks.

We discussed why the Sixers pivoted to Hill whether they should have met Toronto's asking

price for Larry, discuss what Hill will provide for the playoff run, and whether the Sixers

should bring Hill back for next season.

Enjoy the podcast. All right. Welcome, everybody. This is Derek Bonner, joined by Rich Hoffman on the Sixers Beat, a post-trade deadline edition of the Sixers Beat, a part of the Athletics Podcast Network.

Hey, D Don Rich.

I'm great, man.

It was, uh, you know, I got.

I was expecting a little bit more.

You threw me off a little bit with the lack of a follow up there, but we will move on.

We are professionals at this.

Uh, you know, I think it, on the one hand, it turned out to be, if you go back, I know I said, I thought George Hill was most likely because the cost to acquire him would be the least. It turned out that was the case. A little bit of disappointment, I think, that they could have raised their championship odds a little more than they did, but not a bad move for sure. So I guess before we

even get into any of that, let's go over what the trade was. So what I'm going to say here is from

the Sixers perspective, they are receiving George Hill and Ignaz Brasdicus. We'll go with that.

Sure. Iggy. Sure.

Iggy.

Another Iggy.

Can't go wrong there.

So that is what is coming into the Sixers.

Brazdycas is a 22-year-old small forward from Lithuania, I think it is.
