It's tough to keep up with all the action in the NBA. Here's your recap for the week through November 11th in the NBA.
Much has been made of Sixers general manager Sam Hinkie's plan for the rebuilding team, and the process that he'll use to build that team. So far, that plan appears to (not surprisingly) be about youth and size.
Normally, the made-up trade comes on a Wednesday or a Thursday. But with Evan Turner playing well, and trade rumors starting to fly, this one was created because of emergency circumstances.
Basketball fans on Hawk Hill are anxiously awaiting Wednesday night, when St. Joe's plays its 2013-14 home opener, hosting Marist.

This week's made up trade involves Thaddeus Young, and three other teams.
It's probably safe to say that the 2012-13 La Salle Explorers provided Philadelphia sports fans with the most exciting ride of the year to this point. After a 21-win regular season, the Explorers earned one of the last at-large berths for the NCAA Tournament.
Cavs center Andrew Bynum says he'll play in Philadelphia on Friday.
Sixers coach Brett Brown says Michael Carter-Williams' laid back demeanor was initially frustrating in practice.
It's tough to keep up with all the action in the NBA. Here's your recap for through November 4th in the NBA.
Hopes for the 2012-13 season were very high for Drexel. Coming off a 29-win season in 2011-12 with most of the squad back, the Dragons were picked to win the Colonial Athletic Association. But Drexel started slow with two straight heartbreaking, overtime losses, and never found their pace.
It is not unusual for Division II college basketball teams to step up in exhibition games and take on Division I programs. The local scene has seen several area squads do just that over the last week, on both the men's and women's side.
I know, I know, I know... the Sixers can't even tank right! I've heard the joke several times, and I get it. The Sixers were supposed to lose as much as possible this year in an attempt to get a great draft pick and (maybe) Andrew Wiggins. And here they are, 3-0, screwing it all up.
After an absolutely improbable, season-opening victory over the two-time defending champion Miami Heat on Wednesday, the Sixers will try to start 2-0 as they visit the Washington Wizards.
Even the most optimistic Sixers fans would have had a hard time imagining what happened Wednesday night at the Wells Fargo Center.
Most expect Andrew Wiggins will play one year playing basketball at the University Of Kansas, and then enter the NBA Draft and become the first overall pick.
The Sixers picked up third year options on forward Arnett Moultrie and guard Tony Wroten, the team announced on Friday.
This week's is a big one. And it of course would be paired with the Sixers making moves to assure themselves of the 2014 NBA Championship.
Allen Iverson came back to Philadelphia to announce his retirement on Wednesday, three years after he last played in the NBA.
You can love Lebron James, or you can hate Lebron James. Either way, you've got to appreciate his greatness.
On Wednesday, Allen Iverson will officially announce his retirement from the NBA. Until that day, he's keeping busy getting dunked on... sort of.
The idea of rebuilding in the NBA is certainly more fun in theory than it is in reality. Tanking, as many call it, even at its most pure, is the practice of knowingly putting an inferior product on the court in the short-term, in exchange for the possibility of long-term success.
