Kyle Neubeck: The full Sixers-Thunder-Knicks deal, per league source: Philly gets: George Hill, Iggy Brazdeikis OKC gets: Tony Bradley, Philly’s 2nd round picks in 2025 and 2026, and Austin Rivers Knicks get: Terrance Ferguson, Vincent Poirier, 2021 2nd round pick from Philly – via Twitter KyleNeubeck

Poirier is a 27 year old 7'0" center from France, who has apparently had some COVID issues of late.  One season with Boston and part of this year with Philly. 

On July 15, 2019, Poirier parted ways with Baskonia to sign a contract with the Boston Celtics.

On November 19, 2020, Poirier was traded to the Oklahoma City Thunder for a conditional future second-round pick. On December 8, Poirier, along with Danny Green and Terrance Ferguson, were traded to the Philadelphia 76ers.

Well, here's the center you've been coveting, Facil.

Yup. He completely makes the deal for me. Upgrade at wing from Iggy to Fergie while relieving guard glut and adding a skilled and nasty big man, all while acquiring another draft pick.

Leon Rose is a beast.

We might not be done playing third party and picking up loose change.

Fac, I thought it was Mo or nothing for you.

It pays to be flexible, Los.

I’m glad we kept all our useful players.

Kornet can beat out Wagner for time in Boston, behind Williams of course.

I’m not sure who won the day league wide.  Denver is my early favorite at this point.

One write-up noted that of the 24 players who have guarded 200 or more shots at the rim (within 5'), Vuc was 20th giving up 63.4% FG. 

So I followed the link:
Nerlins at 52.5% is 8th of 24, a hair ahead of Gobert and a smidge behind Embiid.
Dead last is Kanter offering up 69% FG.

I wouldn’t go that far yet. They are definitely better and more fun to watch. I give them a lot of credit for having gotten that far already. There’s still a lot more building left to go.

“As constructed” doesn’t mean no more building.  Just means the materials for the build are mostly in place. I am including the near-future picks in my assessment and maybe a minor free agent or two with cap. 

In other words ... no trades.  Except the ones Brock Aller deems  prudent for the balance sheet.

No trades

Real smart

So the players you are adding in the draft and free agency just either sit the bench or send current players there, rather than get assets back for them?

Or are you going 12-13 deep next year?

Trades deemed cap wise by Aller- Yes.  Like a trade of a player we don’t want on the cap for a less expensive player or a future pick.

Trades where we send out picks to make a playoff push - No.

Do no harm...how refreshing! 

I wonder where all of that misinformation about Drummond came from, and did he actually end up going anywhere.  Chris Herring wrote an interring piece in SI about the demise of high level rebounder....https://www.si.com/nba/2021/03/25/andre-drummond-rebounding-daily-cover

I suspect tonight will not be a walk in the park like last time...

Dallas and Chicago improved their draft position by dismantling their D. Miami didn’t give up much for Dipo so maybe they did OK. For GS it will depend on how they do in the buyout market.

Derrick has to build himself back up and play himself back in. Give him a minute.

Meanwhile Elf was back and the big three of Barrett, Burks, and Randle carried us through behind a monster Randle night and a vintage Mitch night and key contributions from Reggie and IQ.

These guys won’t be feeling friendly when we see them again. The trick will be beating them without it rising to the level of a brawl.

I'm not sure they care all that much.

It was really nice to have an easy and relaxed game for a change 😊

Hmmm...

Frank started at the 2?
