Welcome back to Casual Friday Sixers Links.
Housekeeping:
• Derek has returned from vacation and so has the L-Beat. You should bookmark it.
• Bill Simmons has returned from his three-week suspension, and though he gets a lot of crap around these parts, the sports world is much better with him around and his three-week suspension was downright absurd. That's right folks. I don't totally hate Bill Simmons. Come at me, haters!
• Rest in peace Arthur Embiid
• Many people have asked many blog leaders over the years if they could change their SB Nation username because there was no manual way to do it yourself. Now you can manually change your username one time without having to ask any higher-up to do it for you. Click on this Blog Huddle link for specific instructions on how to change your username.
• 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 the weekly links post too. You'll be famous!
