I’m not sure I get this one. He’s cheap and has potential. Doesn’t make sense to unload him.
Multiple sources say Kawhi Leonard has come to terms with the Clippers. Good news for the Sixers and the East Conf.

JJ Redick thanks Sixers fans with full-page ad in Inquirer
On Sunday, Redick made clear what he thought of his time in Philadelphia, taking out a full-page color ad in the Philadelphia Inquirer to express his gratitude to the city of Philadelphia and the fans.
In part, the statement read “The way you rally for the sports teams here is special. There is nothing like playing in Philadelphia and I’m so fortunate to have worn the 76ers jersey.” You can read the full message below in a tweet from the Inquirer’s Luke Reasoner.

However, Milwaukee may have a difficult time replacing Brogdon. The hyperefficient combo guard joined the 50-40-90 shooting club this past season, whereas Matthews is a career 42.5 percent shooter and hit only 40.0 percent of his shots across stints with the Dallas Mavericks, New York Knicks and Indiana Pacers in 2018-19.
The downgrade from Brogdon to Matthews opens the door for the new-look Sixers to take over the Eastern Conference throne from the Raptors.
The Sixers just underwent their third drastic overhaul in an eight-month span, with Josh Richardson and Al Horford replacing Jimmy Butler and JJ Redick in their starting lineup. While other teams have downsized over the past few years to find small-ball counters to the Golden State Warriors' Death Lineup, Philly swerved by doubling down on size this summer.
After putting the Raptors on the ropes in the Eastern Conference Semifinals, that may prove to be a winning bet.
If Milwaukee and Philadelphia do collide in the 2020 Eastern Conference Finals, the Sixers should feel good about their chances to advance. Their Monstars-esque size could turn Eric Bledsoe into a nonfactor, and Horford is one of the few players capable of slowing down Antetokounmpo by cutting off his driving lanes. The Bucks can match the Sixers' twin towers look with the Lopez brothers, but that could crimp their offensive spacing.
Horford signs a four year deal.

Raptors third best in the East? I don't think so. But that's why they play the games. In case you didn't know, The Celtics are paying Gordon Hayward $32.7 million this season.
