- 5 hours ago Where do James Ennis and Jonathon Simmons fit in the Sixers’ rotation?
Liberty Ballers — The two new acquisitions are getting used to playing in Philadelphia, but how much playing time will they actually get? The Sixers were arguably the busiest team in the NBA during the trade deadline, making moves that should theoretically help them take the next step toward competing for a championship. Everyone is still talking about the trades for Tobias Harris and Jimmy Butler, and for good reason, but some of the smaller moves the team made could also have a pretty sizable effect on how the team plays down the stretch.

For the bulk of this season, Ben Simmons, JJ Redick, Jimmy Butler, Wilson Chandler, and Joel Embiid adjusted on the fly and still ranked sixth among five-man groups with at least 200 minutes at plus-13. Now, the era of Tobias Harris (and terrible nicknames) has begun. It’s no surprise the Sixers already seem to be going up a gear. Through four games and 73 minutes for the new starting five, their net rating...
