Sixers podcast: George Hill trade | Kyle Lowry stays put

On this episode of The Sixer Sense Podcast, it is all about the day filled with high anticipation. From trade rumors to trade requests, the deadline held the attention of every 76ers fan. The biggest news that impacted the team was the lone trade that Daryl Morey was able to pull off in order to enhance the Sixers‘ rotation.

The podcast begins with Lucas Johnson and Christopher Kline offering insight into what the George Hill trade means for Philadelphia. The 76ers gave up two backup big men, a sparingly used wing, and future picks to acquire a seasoned veteran to play important backup point guard minutes. The pod looks at lineup changes and depth chart now that Hill has been added.

The highly anticipated trade deadline yielded George Hill. What did the Sixers gain, and what did they miss out on?

Then, the podcast spends time on the biggest source of hype this trade season, Kyle Lowry possibly coming home to Philly. Lucas and Chris discuss how and why Lowry never made it to the Sixers and why it could be a blessing in disguise that we did not give up young, blossoming players.

The conversation steers toward the other trades that will eventually impact the Sixers. Who did Miami pick up? How did Boston improve? Were the Nets able to bolster an already stacked roster? Listen and find out how they all made moves to keep pace with the 76ers in the standings.

Once the league transactions are summarized, the podcast recaps the two wins from earlier in the week. First, we cover the victory against the New York Knicks that had a controversial ending. Then, we cover the win versus the Golden State Warriors, where both teams’ stars were out due to injury.
