37.9% chance right now to keep it.

We can swap our own pick with Kings too.

That Stauskas trade was just mind-boggling.

Hold up, wait wtf? This was the trade for that Kings swap? Why isn't this trade getting as much attention as the Celtics-Nets trade?

Damn, look at that +20 plus/minus from Joel in a 5 points win.

I'll be honest. I've only watched one Sixers game all year. Is Embiid getting star calls already? He's averaging 7 FTs in 25MPG

He is and he's a tough guard. Draws a lot of contact with his moves around the rim.

At times. He does this rip through move every game and gets rewarded with a trip to the free throw line most times. However, the main reason for his high FTr is that he's just extremely aggressive attacking the rim. Yes, he gets some dubious calls in his favor, but several unfair offensive fouls as well.

I can remember a phantical King's fan trying to convince me this past summer that this wasn't a bad trade and I didn't know what I was talking about.

And of course they made this deal to clear cap space even though they didn't have anyone lined up to sign with it.

I think his size/strength/mobility/skill ratio is that of a player that you're forced to foul a lot. And he's aggressive to boot. Everyone who guards him is either too slow too small or both.

Yes that was the actual trade. Sixers fans were on pins and needles hoping it didn't get cancelled since it was announced a few days before it was actually allowed to happen. 20 million dollar salary dump for the kings so they could sign Rondo

And now Rudy Gay is done for the season.

That was such an exciting night. Details kept slowly leaking about the trade and the package to the Sixers kept getting better and better. Meanwhile, all we heard going the other way was a European and as the return got this amazing, we all assumed it had to be Saric going back. Then it turned out to be these two stiffs.

But yeah, the next few days were scary wondering if the Kings would back out. I was so happy when Woj tweeted that the trade call was taking place.

Scary thought (for other teams): Embiid is going to get even better.

Embid+Simmons+2 top level prospects in the next draft. Philly needs to throw the max at Holiday to get him home, and thats a playoff team next year with sky high potential

No interest in Holiday on a max deal.

Philly's got more money than they know what to do with. Jrue might be one of the only 'vets' (only 26) that might consider them and it's already been said they have interest in him. With BC at the helm, better the throws stupid money at good players than overpaying terrible ones

Holiday is hurt every other game. can't finish a season....we went down that path before the PROCESS. No Thanks!.....Offer that max to Lowry...Bring him home....if not that, we go with our draft picks..........10, 9, 8, 76ers !!

Cameras caught Lowry's face when the arena was chanting Trust the Process. He was mesmerized.

This doesn't get talked about enough. This will be the first offseason that Embiid can actually focus on just improving his game and not rehabbing.

Philly's gonna need to overpay people to get them to join whats been a perennial laughing stock over the last 5 years or so. You're right though, forget Jrue, no need to add another injury issue. 20 mill to Teague? Philly's gonna have about 60 mill in cap space this offseason, they need to get some young vets

Why is his finishing not up to par despite him being so good at everything else? Still getting his athleticism back?
