Rights To Ricky Sanchez: The Sixers Podcast

We're back! We discuss our major announcement (3:00), Zhaire Smith's broken foot (9:00), the official Process Hall Of Fame nominations (24:00), the Sixers schedule and over/under (41:00), the Markelle Fultz question (49:00), listening to podcasts at 1.5x and 2.0x speed (59:00), the Sixers still not having a general manager (63:00), and Demetrius Jackson's two-way contract (67:00).

We're back live on Saturday! There will be a huge announcement. Just an enormous announcement. No sarcasm. Until then, the final Ricky Rebroadcast comes from October 14, 2015, when we interviewed Nik Stauskas. 

It's a double today! September 18, 2013 - Mike tells the story about when he hung out at a bar with Spencer Hawes.  February 19, 2015 - The day after the Sixers trade Michael-Carter Williams and KJ McDaniels.  The Rights To Ricky Sanchez will return live next week.

June 25, 2015 - The night the Sixers drafted Jahlil Okafor. This was one of the saddest Ricky podcasts ever. Fun to relive. The takes! The Rights To Ricky Sanchez is on a two week vacation.

February 19, 2014 - As the first Sam Hinkie trade deadline approached, Spike and Mike discussed what the team might get for its established players. This led to one of the most famous Spike vs. Mike fights, the "Evan Turner vs. Dion Waiters" fight. The Rights To Ricky Sanchez is on vacation for two weeks. 

February 15, 2015 - This episode has come to be known as the "Paul Millsap Story" episode. The original description was as follows: Spike did go to All-Star practice (thanks to his lovely wife), so we talk about that, the Sprite Slam Dunk, the Hawks All-Star failures, Patrick Beverly, Kenny Smith, Zach LaVine vs. Dario, Bob and Nerlens in the Rising Stars game, the failed NBA After-Dark takeover, Evan Turner's game winner, make fun of Charles Barkley, and much, much more! The Rights To Ricky Sanchez is currently on a two week vacation, so we're posting classic episodes. 

June 29, 2013 - This is a rebroadcast of the very first podcast Spike and Mike ever did together. It was recorded just after Sam Hinkie's first draft as Sixers GM, when he traded Jrue Holiday for Nerlens Noel and a second first round pick. Two weeks later, Spike and Mike would record the first ever "Rights To Ricky Sanchez." The podcast is on a two-week vacation. We'll be back stronger than ever?

Spike and Mike discuss the Sixers GM search and the pursuit of Morey (8:00), not getting Kawhi (34:00), being spurned by Nemanja Bjelica (50:00), Kyle Korver (55:00), trading Anderson and TLC and giving away Richaun Holmes (15:00), acquiring Mike Muscala and signing Jonah Bolden (1:19). And Andrew Unterberger joins the pod to help us announce the first nominees for the Process Hall Of Fame (1:02). The Ricky will be taking a two week vacation starting NOW! It's been a crazy six months and we need to charge up for a really offseasony August. Thanks for everything so far this year. We'll be back in a fortnight with Process Hall Of Fame voting, a Live Ricky announcement, and a new t-shirt. 

On an early Sunday morning podcast, Spike and Mike discuss the Sixers Cinderella run in the Summer League and the Korkmaz game-winner (0:00), Markelle Fultz reportedly dropping Keith Williams because of Joel Embiid (19:00), and a Lorenzo Brown mailbag (32:00) featuring questions about Furkan's ceiling, a Summer Sixers TV show, Dario Saric as a shark, and keeping your own superstars. 

Mike went to Summer League and recorded almost the entire thing. Here's his first opportunity to be a real journalist.  Before that, they talk about rules at the blackjack tables (2:00), the Markelle Fultz/Drew Hanlen video (7:00), Josh Harris' comments about the GM search (11:00), and the play of Jonah Bolden, Cam Oliver, and Zhaire Smith (19:30). Once Mike takes over in Vegas, he talks to The Ringer's Jonathan Tjarks (31:15), goes into the Sixers postgame press scrum with coaches and players (37:00), NBA Internet's Brian Schroeder(40:00), former Sixers Director of Digital Content Charlie Widdoes (46:00), Ricky Stan and CBS Sports' James Herbert (51:00), Derek Bodner and Rich Hofmannwho do not have a podcast (59:00), and a female Lakers fan (72:00).
