Though the news doesn’t involve the 76ers, it does involve a former member of the Sixers’ summer league roster. Vernon Goodridge, who played little to no minutes in the past summer league, signed a training camp contract with the Golden State Warriors.
Goodridge was stuck behind Marreese Speights and Trent Plaisted in the Summer League and never got much of a chance to prove himself. However, he proved to be an asset in the shot-blocking category during his college days at Lasalle, averaging 1.6 blocks per game.
Playing for the Warriors will give him a fresh start, as well as some hopeful [...]

The first four cuts have been announced, and are as followed:

Gerald Wallace, Charlotte
Tyreke Evans, Sacramento
Javale McGee, Washington
O.J. Mayo, Memphis

The only surprise name in this group is Mayo, who performed well in the Team USA showcase game, scoroing 18 points on 7-of-12 shooting. Evans was an easy cut since he sprained his left ankle early on in the practices, and McGee was just a fill in for the showcase game. Wallace, who is a very underated player with Charlotte, didn’t have a good game whatsoever in the showcase, scoring four points and missing all four shots from behind the arc.
With the [...]

If Andre Iguodala can find his way onto the 12-man roster for Team USA, the Philadelphia 76ers will be benefiting in many ways. As of now, it appears that Iggy will indeed make the roster due to his strong week of training and overall performance in the team’s final scrimmage. Playing on Team USA during the course of the FIBA championship would give Iguodala so much more experience that not many players are exposed to, and it would in turn, make him a better player.
The Sixers are in the midst of building up their team for the future. But they [...]

The final 12-player team for the USA basketball team has yet to be decided, and tonight, we will get to witness an inter squad scrimmage as all of the players compete for a spot on the final roster. There is one Philadelphia 76ers’ member out there, our very own Andre Iguodala. Will he make the team? With a strong performance in tonight’s game, he could possibly sneak onto the 12 man roster. Stay tuned to The Sixer Sense for updates throughout the game as we follow Iguodala’s progress, as well as the other competitors.
12:00 ET: The final quarter was once again [...]

The Philadelphia 76ers have finally made a move in free agency, and although it’s not a major move, the addition of Tony Battie will add some depth to the frontcourt. Terms of the contract were not disclosed.
Battie will be entering his 14th season in the NBA with the 76ers, and after a dismal season with the New Jersey Nets in 2009, hopefully he can provide the Sixers with some help coming off of the bench. His career averages of 6.8 points per game and 5.3 rebounds per game are not eye-popping in any form, but if he could collect those [...]

With the big named players coming off the board, the free agent period may be in a lull, but there are still viable options out there. One such example is Roger Mason Jr., who could provide the 76ers with a great shooter coming off of the bench. But does Philly even have a chance to land him? Or are they even considering the acquisition of RMJ?
For starters, RMJ had a bit of a down year for the San Antonio Spurs in 2009, but that doesn’t take away from his shooting ability. He’s a career 40% shooter from the field, with [...]

Doug Collins has all but announced that Evan Turner will start at the two this upcoming season. Jrue Holiday will start at point guard, with Andre Iguodala moving back to his natural small forward spot. Whoever starts in the frontcourt is almost irrelevant seeing how Jrue, ET and Iggy all need the ball in their hands to perform. If you watched any of the Sixers summer league games (Take my word for it, i watched all five), you saw Holiday excel while Turner struggled. I’m a big Turner supporter and I think he will be a very good basketball player, but [...]

The Philadelphia 76ers have locked up their second overall pick in the 2010 NBA Draft, Evan Turner. The terms of the deal were not released, but it’s expected to be a pretty nice deal considering that he was selected right behind John Wall.
Despite his struggles in Orlando at the NBA Summer League, Turner should turn out to be a great weapon for Philly for not only this season, but for years to come. His long frame and natural athleticism will cause mismatches all season long, and if he can work well with veterad forward, Andre Iguodala, then Philly may be [...]

Bobcats 77 – Sixers 76
Though the Sixers lost, it wasn’t necessarily a disappointment of a game. Their two main contributors in the Summer League, Jrue Holliday and Marreese Speights, both sat the entire game, giving Charlotte a major advantage. However, Jodie Meeks continued to produce in the Summer League, putting up 17 points and nailing four 3-point shots.
Now, we move to the man who is supposed to be a savior, Evan Turner. Once again, he failed to impress. In 18 minutes, Turner struggled to find a rhythm, going 1-6 from the field, and finishing with 5 points. His continued struggles [...]
