Dei Lynam was on Angelo this morning and she reminded people that Sixers backcourt next year will be a 19 year old who played 1 year of college ball and another guy who hasn't played basketball in over a year.
There's going to be growing pains for sure.

Good to see Brett Brown recognize Sam and say he did a lot of the heavy lifting to put them in this position and should get a lot of credit ... #trusttheprocess

Angelo 'The Snot Locker' Cataldi is a disgraceful sellout and blowhard. The only thing he has going for him is that he can eat a hoagie in the rain.
I read through a number of those tweets, and the only one that made any sense, either by content or by use of the English language, was the one about the player, JR Smith, who was able to bring his premature baby daughter home yesterday.
Love the kid but he's gotta work on his insta game:

What about the Sixers other picks last night? Who stays and who gets stached in Europe for the future? Are any of these players good outside shooters? How do they fit?
Jonah Bolden stays and makes the team. Perfect stretch 4 player. His Euro season did not end until a week or so ago, so he did not get to tryout for many teams. Was ROY in his league last year-same league Saric played in and was ROY. Brown knows Bolden and his dad quite well. Bolden is being very vocal that he is not going back to Europe next season. 40%+ 3pt shooter.

I don't have the quote, but a Sixers podcast I listened to this morning said BC indicated last night that the Euro guys weren't going to come over right away.

A number of people think he is going to be the steal of the draft. Many rave reviews about his game. Great outside J and excellent athlete.
I cant find any comments from BC on Bolden, but he did say last night Furkan Korkmaz is coming over this season.
I heard from others that listened to comments from Colangelo that they are all staying over there. It's hard to believe that Korkmaz has the cash to buy himself out. The Sixers can only contribute ~30% of his total. Honestly, I would rather see him get full game minutes over there another year.
Sign Reddick baby!

read somewhere that they have sold 14,000 season tickets in some NBA record time. I assume it is the VERY HIGH expectations
Murphy's Law = 76ers
Sounds like one of our April fools day verbals - cousin of Yadsloof Lirpa.
Actually, if Embiid is REALLY healthy he can score 100 on the duubs No way that can stop him, he is way too big and strong.
(to be honest I have my doubts regarding his health). If I am the 76ers I only play him for limited minutes and have many "announced" physical problems (foot stub, hives, jock itch, etc.) UNTIL the playoffs

The biggest concern I'd have, if I were a 76ers fan, is the Celtics. They've got a couple of really good players and picks. the Celtics have 7 first round picks in the next three years. So it will take some time, but the Celtics are sure to be loaded by the end of this decade (2019/2020) and perhaps sooner if they seek to trade these picks to accessorize Thomas and Horford.
It's a shame Covington's last name doesn't start with a K. Then you'd have the #KFEDS
Sixers-Timberwolves will be about as hot a ticket as you can get in the NBA next season. I say that as a Warriors fan. Both the Sixers and the T-Wolves are gonna be LOADED with young talent.
Sixers need to sign a couple of Vets to make sure the ship sails the right way.....Perhaps signing someone like David West, or Shaun Livingston would make some sense. Hell, 2 years 50 could get you Igoudala back and won't do long term damage to your cap.....
They did sign two good contributors today. The interesting thing is that both Reddick and Johnson were signed to one year contracts. This still leaves them more cap space for this year, but opens up a ton of space next year to go after one of the coveted free agents. They could well make the playoffs this year, especially coming out of a weak conference.
Thats the thinking. Go after two big free agents in 2018/2019 and also have 3 #1 picks in the draft.
You have to over pay to get what you want. That's just the way the market is. The Nets wanted him also and may have been offering a two year deal.
?? It doesn't matter. It's a one year deal and they have no other expenses this year.
On Simmons, per Brown:
"We've spent a lot of time trying to get his elbow under the ball and have it be more arm than wrist. ..."
