Fake news… heard this dude during interviews. Absolutely bought in on his role.
🚨 Sources: VJ Edgecombe’s agent, Thad Foucher of Wasserman, reportedly wants to see a bigger role for the Sixers guard following the season opener against the Knicks.
After the rookie season VJ put together, his camp believes he’s capable of making an Anthony Edwards-type leap. 9 points in his season debut isn’t what he signed up for. The expectation is growth, not being treated as an afterthought in Philly’s offense.
The message is clear: VJ is ready for a bigger stage. 👀

This mentality is gonna feed families 🔥🔥
Dave McMenamin:
"(Joel) Embiid had a declaration to make in the locker room after this one. He said, I'm going to get back to being an all-defensive team player. And obviously, if he can do that, that gives all sorts of options for this team Embiid also said that it was his defensive suggestion to the coaching staff when he picked up his 3rd foul to have LeBron James switch on to Karl-Anthony Towns. And quite frankly, it was a moment of honesty from him where he said...I can't play as aggressive as I need to play against a player as talented as KAT if I'm playing with those 3 fouls. He knows that somewhere in the back of his head, he would try to avoid picking up a 4th or a 5th or fouling out. And obviously, LeBron James was able to play that backup five and make some plays on the defensive end, leading in that fourth quarter to a breakaway dunk by Tyrese Maxey that started with LeBron James playing defense on KAT"

Jaylen Brown's statement after being traded from the Boston Celtics to the Philadelphia 76ers:
First and foremost, thank you to the Most High, even in the midst of adversity. I'm here with gratitude.
I’m still processing how this all went down. I’m excited and disappointed at the same time. I earned my respect from this city. I never asked for shortcuts or special treatment. I simply showed up every day, put my head down, and accepted every challenge.
The relationships I built here, the battles we fought together, the championship we brought to this city, and the connection I shared with the fans, I’ll carry on with me.
Saying goodbye isn’t easy when you’ve invested your heart into something.
I’m big on respect and actions speak louder than words. To the people of Boston, thank you. To the community I built here I love you, and to the shiftaz we are locked in for life⚡️
As one chapter closes, another begins.
I’m excited for what’s ahead and grateful for the opportunity to join Philadelphia. Every city has its own identity, its own passion, and its own expectation. I respect that, and I’m looking forward to earning that respect the only way I know how.. through the work.
Philly - throw the ball up let’s get it!

Absolutely leaving because he has no faith in Bowles leading the team smdh
Mike Evans’ decision to leave Tampa was not about money; the Bucs were aggressive in their pursuit and presented what was said to be a “very strong offer”. It came down to a desire for a new challenge as Evans enters the last years of his career.

"Right now, Baker Mayfield, I think he's got everybody's vote as the Most Valuable Player."
@colincowherd is impressed with how Mayfield has carried the Buccaneers to a 5-1 record
