Sixers podcast: Tyrese Maxey’s ceiling and Ben Simmons wanting out

On this episode of the Sixer Sense Podcast, we turn up the conversation dial on summer league action and some intriguing news surrounding several of Philly‘s blossoming players.

Lucas Johnson and Christopher Kline kick things off with a break down of the first summer league game where the Sixers easily handled the Dallas Mavericks. We offer observations related to the play of Paul Reed, Isaiah Joe, and Tyrese Maxey, just to name a few.

Speaking of Maxey, the podcast opens up an extensive conversation about how high Maxey’s ceiling could be after getting off to a scorching hot start in summer league. We debate whether the Sixers would regret trading him in a deal for Damian Lillard, and whether or not he should even be playing in the summer league with concern about risking injury.

The conversation around Ben Simmons continues to evolve, but one thing is clear — he and the Sixers are all but done with each other.

The next topic brought up focuses on Ben Simmons. We place emphasis on the comments by Kendrick Perkins, where he went on air to explain how dissatisfied Simmons is with the 76ers. The podcast also discusses Colin Cowherd’s recent assertion that Ben Simmons is playing a victim role this offseason.

The final topic we bring up is the evolution of Matisse Thybulle. We look into his stellar Olympic play and how this season could be a break out year for him. We also analyze the photo he took with Damian Lillard at the conclusion of the Olympic games. Is there hidden symbolism in the picture, or are we just reaching with some of the details involved?
