Casual Friday Sixers Links: Welcome to the Hinkie Era

Welcome to another edition of Casual Friday Sixers Links.

Quick things:

• No Sixers links last week, sorry. Too busy building my Sam Hinkie shrine.
• Draft season is upon us. Keep an eye out for our LB Big Board series.
  
• Want to share some Sixers thoughts with the LB community? Write a FanPost. Do a good job on it and we may even promote it to the front page. I'll even link to it in this weekly links post too. You'll be famous!
• Go like the LB Facebook page!
  
• Follow LB on Twitter. We changed our handle from @Philly76ersBlog to the more aptly named @Liberty_Ballers!
