Rumor is the Spurs are interested in getting Fournier who shares an agent with Wemby and also speaks passable French.

I would take McBuckets back for Ev especially now Dougie is keeping himself in shape.

Got to keep tinkering with that twelfth man spot.

McDermott would be a dream return.  The Ayotollah Dawg might even grow tumescent.

Would certainly make for a crowded rotation.  Would be a pity if McDermoot simply took Rose and Fournier's spot on the bench.

Word is, problematically,  that Knicks are not inclined to include draft capital.

Hello?

A couple of #2 picks?  Seriously?

Stop giving away the store. No picks, just a one for one swap if we do it at all. Getting Doug back would not make us measurably better than getting a buyout agreement from Fournier and signing Charlie Brown Jr. in his stead.

Counting our three 2-Way players, and excluding Fournier, we already have FIFTEEN.

We may use both the EF ending deal and an extra available slot to facilitate a deal to get Dame to Miami or Harden to LA.

I expect some shuffling well into September.

Still, for now

Mitch Hartenstein Sims
Randle Roby Knight
RJ Hart Jefferies Fournier
Grimes DiVincenzo Martin Keels
Brunson IQ McBride

One regular contract spot is available.

We can endlessly discuss our...15, 16th, I mean...18th roster spot. Or, we can meet Keith Pompey of the Philly Inquirer.

"As the Sixers beat reporter, I provide daily coverage, perspective, a social media presence and long-form takeout pieces about one of the NBA's young emerging teams."

What does Pompey have to say this weekend?

While discussing the idea of a possible Embiid trade with SiriusXM NBA Radio's Evan Cohen and Sam Mitchell, Pompey stated that he could see a trade to the Knicks "absolutely happening."

"Joel already owns a house up in New York, he's had it for a while. The worst-kept secret is that the Knicks have been compiling and keeping ahold of their first-round draft picks hoping, and praying that Joel Embiid asks out ... I can see that absolutely happening," Pompey stated.


* So Chip sez crazyasslesterdawgphantasy, the Sixer's #1 beat reporter sez, what were those words? "can see that absolutely happening," hmmm.......OK!

** BTW, Joel got married Saturday....in the Hamptons.

We are humbled by such a conclusive conclusion that smoke equals fire, because Jo El got married in the Hamptons.

May we never listen to surf music again, nor engage in discussions other than those which invoke the spectre of superstars.

So let it be written, so let it be done.

I'm good with 7th, 8th, 9th-man discussions, btw.

But no point in dipping down to 10, no way, not with this coach.

Who are your top 9 on the current roster? That would give us an idea of what besides the exorbitant and insanely complicated might count as an improvement.

That makes four guys on two-ways.

Knight, Windler, Martin, and Keels. Since we only get to keep three, I think Keels should be the one to go.

Though this is very much an end of the roster conversation, I am happy to have it.

Maybe one day Les will tell us who he considers the top nine roster guys who should be mainstays of this rotation.

Having Windler to practice against should help us with our rotations and deep closeouts. He is a solid stand in the corner guy who can do it on a professional level.

I like Charlie Brown Jr. better than any of our current two-way guys except Knight.
