Sixers podcast: Ben Simmons’ return and Bradley Beal rumors

This episode of the Sixer Sense Podcast comes to you the day of Ben Simmons’ return to Philadelphia. We have plenty to discuss related to him coming back to the Wells Fargo Center, but first we recap the Bulls game.

On Monday night, Chicago came into town to take on the Sixers. James Harden returned this game after a night off in Miami, as the Bulls were missing Nikola Vuvecic and Lonzo Ball. The 76ers set the tone of the game and never let up, thanks to James Harden’s playmaking and Joel Embiid’s scoring. We analyze the performances of key players in the game.

Ben Simmons returns to Philadelphia tonight. What should the Sixers fanbase expect?

The next topic is one that we have all waited for since the Ben Simmons trade. Thursday night, on national television, the 76ers take on Brooklyn. NBA fans will have their eyes peeled and ears to the ground when it comes to the reaction Ben Simmons will get from Sixers fans. The podcast debates how Simmons will be received and whether or not he deserves a video tribute. We also talk about the matchup itself, predicting the outcome of the game.

We then pivot to the recent bench developments for the Sixers. We dissect Doc Rivers’ decision to not play Furkan Korkmaz and whether or not he sticks with it. Next, we discuss the Danny Green injury and which role player could take his minutes for the next few games.

Finally, the podcast explores the rumor involving Bradley Beal. According to former NBA player, Andrew Bogut, Beal will try and get to the Sixers in the offseason to team up with Harden and Embiid. If true, this would be a hot topic to follow as the summer revs up and teams start sharing interest in Beal as he approaches free agency.
