Good move, replacement for KJ :/ But wouldn't have needed this in first place if haven't done that trade :crazy:

It was a given that KJ wouldn't have been a long term option the moment he asked for a one year rookie contract. Philly's GM is quite smart, he is gathering picks and continually drafts, looking for that one player with superstar potential. People were shocked when he traded away ROY Carter-Williams. The truth was, he was a good player, but they wanted more. KJ had the potential to be a solid role player for them, but they aren't willing to overpay to keep a mediocre player. I personally think they have done quite well picking up assets, including Sims, Canaan and Thomas Robinson, were all solid roleplayer pick ups.

Sims is our most valuable player, he's the tank commander. Without him our tank would have no leader
