Other Sports: The Philadelphia Seventy Sixers 23-24 Season Thread: Punt, Pass, Or Kick? Post Trade Deadline

[DancingPanther]

I envy you greatly. Kevin O'Connor is a tech bro Cybertruck pre-order guy who happens to write about basketball. His draft comps read like a 15 year old doing a mock draft.

A random example of his schtick:

f***ing oof

Damn Lowe was making 7 figures. ESPN money is crazy.

Had to double check to make sure I wasn't getting ballsacked

Sheesh

has to be another move coming for Minny...as much as I have wanted them to get rid of KAT...that doesn't seem like a good move

The Nova squad never got a chance

Wow

KAT for Randle..DD and Detroit's 1st...that is underwhelming as all hell

That's what I was thinking. Don't understand this.

I don’t think I like this for either team. Thibs and KAT went abysmally once already. Off the court it was an unmitigated disaster. On it, if he puts him in drop coverage again, this is so good for the East.

The Wolves are shedding long term salary here. That’s why they didn’t get a ton. KAT makes 49 + 53 + 57 + 61. That contract is putrid.

*Edit* DDV might be the best asset in this trade. 3/36ish is a nice price.

Wtf

I hate that.

 

[JojoTheWhale]

While Passan is aware of the interest, according to those briefed on the internal conversations, it is not known if he would agree to the switch if offered.

I would imagine it’s quite a bit more money. Marchand’s article has Passan making 1MM per and Woj at 7.

The idea that the "NBA's lead newsbreaker" can just be selected like that kind of shows that none of it is legit, doesn't it?

They're pawns.

We all, of course, already know that that's how this whole thing works but alas.

You could call it a "Sham"

It's time for Eklund to step up!

Godspeed

 

[John Price]

Can't stand the sixers but 2001 era Mutombo and AI were fun to watch

 

[FLYguy3911]

I remember I faked being sick so I could stay home to watch the trade deadline news the day he got traded here.

Rip.

 

[Chicken N Raffls]

Man that's too young. Fun player with great personality. RIP

 

[Taijuan Fedotov]

RIP to one of the good guys.

Hahaha! I remember hearing about that on WIP back in the day, but never knew if it was actually true. Seems like it was. What a guy
