Well, i might be optimistic to say that there's a good chance Sixers pick could convey next year if not for the deal. That should be our saving grace for that Saric deal.


That, and having Saric versus Patyon. And the high 2nd (which brought back 1.5m and 2 more 2nds).


Payton was always an awful fit with this team. And Orlando. But even more so Philly. Even if you are a big believer in Payton, he still doesn't ever make sense.

Exactly, we would still need wingers who can shoot plus lose our pic next year. Also might not get the Lakers pic for MCW because of a logjam at pg. I wish he was still here, would love to see his finish product.

Payton seems to be improving with his shooting and is much better than the worst PF according to RPM. Well, both aren't franchise changers while that pick next year can.

Man the first game in Houston was brutal. Hopefully this one goes better. Wish this meant ESPN has the inside scoop on Simmons debut.

No idea, I don't think it's too early, but I feel like it would be odd without forewarning.

Well assuming it is his debut, shouldn't he have atleast a week of 5 on 5 practice instead of his 5 on 0 that he is participating in currently?

Didn't think of this at first. Embiid has been a big enough story recently to bump Wade going against his old team from TV. Pretty crazy. Not sure they do it if the game was in Miami.

New CBA apparently closes the loophole the Sixers have used to pay out less than the salary floor and still get credit for reaching it by trading for salary.

The Saric deal was great regardless, but if we end up with the 9th pick next year then it was yet another highway robbery by Hinkie.

Intended or not intended, I think the winnings and Holmes emergence as possible back-up for Biid, puts less pressure on BC to pull off a good deal for Noel and specially for Jah.

Haven't looked at the numbers but I notice luwawu doesn't get much deflections and seems to be limited on D due to his lack of good to elite length at wings. But he is solid in terms of knowing where to position on D&O and being a good shooter and slasher.
