Sixers Podcast: Sixers match for Paul Reed + backup center competition

Welcome back to The Sixer Sense Podcast. In this episode, Lucas Johnson and Jonathan Geib begin by discussing the Sixers matching the Utah Jazz’s offer sheet for Paul Reed. It is safe to say this move was surprising for many Philly fans because the Sixers are now over the salary cap first apron with this signing due to the unique clause included by Danny Ainge. Was this the right move for the franchise? And who is Joel Embiid’s primary backup now with the logjam of centers on the roster?

Speaking of Sixers centers, Mo Bamba recently discussed his relationship with Embiid and acknowledged that Embiid had a part to play in Bamba’s choosing to come to Philly this offseason.
