Grimes Watch Day Whatever (And a Week of Not Enough Shutting Up From Certain Sixers)

Zo also takes a moment to cackle at the Washington Commanders.

Team Ricky Rundown

• A true August AMA, VJ podding with P, and Daryl yapping again

• The return of my guy, everyone’s guy, Sixers Adam

• Most likely Sixers to be on the team in 3 years I mostly agree with although, I do think if I was pressed, right now, Jared McCain to me is most likely to be shipped out for someone of need or added to a PG deal down the line :(

Sixers around the League

• Trendon Watford is a DUDE. I’m really excited for him and you should be too.

• Jabari Walker. Another dude to be excited about.

• This really is the approach for me, for obvious reasons and also because the team will depend heavily on a 21- and 19-year-old taking appropriate leaps, respectfully.

• Daryl, please stop engaging.

• A solid 5, and that’s so low because it’s solely based on Bona. I think Andre Drummond is as good as cooked, baby.

5 for the Road

• How funny would it be if the Terry McLaurin stalemate (and now trade request) is partly due to the big checks Josh Harris had to write for Embiid and PG last year?

• …Very funny, because fuck the commanders

• Think East top 3 winds up being Knicks, Magic, Cavs in some order, probably throughout the entire season.

• Crazy that Pacers are poised to fall right off a cliff.

• Tyrese Maxey and other vets being back in the city this early to get some work in with the rookies is such an encouraging sign of a much-needed culture shift. Let’s see just how far playing hard, practicing hard and giving a shit takes them.
