Sánchez was then traded to the Philadelphia 76ers on September 10, 2007. The 76ers traded the rights to Sánchez on March 15, 2012 for Memphis Grizzlies forward Sam Young. This move inspired the name of Spike Eskin's Sixers podcast, "The Rights to Ricky Sanchez", commonly referred to as "The Ricky". On February 21, 2013, international rights to Sánchez were traded to the Miami Heat for center Dexter Pittman and a 2013 second round draft pick in an attempt to clear roster space for the Heat.[4]
