Per Woj, he's finalizing a deal with the Sixers for 4 years $32 million. Great pick-up. I imagine B-ball Paul is officially gone now.

Love it. I assume this means BBall is cut or traded?
Also 4/$32m is a good deal for us, prob starts around $7m this year.

I’m super bummed to see Reed go, I think he’ll be a very solid NBA player, but I get the need to upgrade at SF. I thought that Martin was being
overrated at $15M/ year because his main claim to fame is having outperformed his regular season in a few playoff years. No guarantee that he’s always a playoff giant. But for 4/$32, that’s pretty darned solid. Hope it works out.

Interesting, but not too surprising, that Caleb is the guy who has had a bigger impact in the league between him and his brother, Cody. Cody was the point forward guy who would do the Ben Simmons type work but never really broke through as a scorer while Caleb was the main scorer on that Nevada team.

Getting him on a 4 year deal is awesome work by Daryl. We’re locked in with Maxey/George/Embiid/Martin as our core foundation for the next 3 years for our title window.

Year 4 is a player option. Total can reach 40m with bonuses.

Love the spacing and defensive versatility we have with this addition. Best case fit and value at 4/32.

He's a much more dynamic player than a C&S wing and has been since college. I'm hoping he can bump that 3FG%.

He should get tons of open looks from 3 due to the gravity from Jo, Max and PG. I expect a similar effect to the Celtics where role players (e.g. White) go and see their efficiency increase.

Really? I was sad every time I saw come into to the game. BBIQ if about 10. Nice kid but my gosh he is horrible.

Solid still a little worried about rebounding I can see teams killing on the offensive glass

Oubre plays like a PF on offense and he long as hell and will dunk on u.

My hope is that with the acquisition of PG, he and Maxey can shoulder the scoring load while Embiid, though still heavily part of the offense will take a step back from previous seasons and become more assertive on the glass. On the bench, we have Drummond and Council (assuming he'll be part of the regular rotation this season).

The anxiety on the board is crazy. Chill they ain't done yet. Also, enjoy how much we killing the offseason so far.
