  • Are Big Changes Coming for the 76ers & Timberwolves?

    Are Big Changes Coming for the 76ers & Timberwolves?
    Mar 17 2026
    The NBA season isn't over just yet, but Desmond believes that the Philadelphia 76ers and Minnesota Timberwolves are due to make big adjustments to their rosters this summer. First, he looks into the Sixers' collapse and shares whether or not they should fully embrace the Tyrese Maxey-VJ Edgecombe era. Then, he compares the T-Wolves to the 2018 Raptors while urging them to make similar sacrifices to improve their roster before Anthony Edwards inevitably decides to move on from the team. And after the weekly game of "Make or Miss?," Dez ends the show honoring a pioneer who was known for his calm demeanor and effortless buckets that torched the NBA throughout the 70s and early-80s.
