if they stopped having country music concerts at the SBC, violent crime would drop 20% in camden.

true statistic.

Sixers stuff:

-- they aren't using the Wells Fargo name in any media anymore since the bank won't enter any agreements with the franchise. Their email about the new uniform unveil next week said "THE CENTER"
-- they're working on a buyout of Saric to bring him over a year early

[SD]

I guess the posturing has begun. The Sixers supposedly love Mudiay and Porzingis and the Lakers are on Russell. I'm still for the Sixers taking Okafor because he's the best asset at 3.

[phattymatty]

okafor would be my last choice out of the projected top 4 guys. shtein i am not even a winslow fan but i may even prefer him over okafor. and a big no to kristaps also.

odds of mario coming over are really slim right now. so many reasons. three off the top of my head are 1) the sixers can only pay so much towards buying out saric (i think it's only like $600K or something like that) ans 2) because of the salary cap going up and 3) because of the 3 year rookie contract rules, unless he just really really wants to play in the nba and doesnt care about getting paid, he'd be losing a shtein ton of cash. like possible tens of millions.

[ice grillin you]

the one simple reason hes not coming...

because he doesnt have a buyout clause until next year

[MDS]

if they show that turkish team enough cash he will....never doubt the greediness of your eastern european kin

[phattymatty]

they can't though, that's the problem.

there's a cap on how much moolah you can throw at international teams and it's not very large.

[ice grillin you]

yeah without an actual buyout availabe 650k is the most they can pay

[MDS]

well i didnt know that

but theres gotta be some wiggle room right....650k plus some other random shady business agreement between jewshua harris and whatever corrupt eurotrash jerkoff owns dario's team

[ice grillin you]

you would think

if qatar can get a world cup hinkie magic can get dario saric

[Eagles_Legendz]

If this team is running out Russell/x/Saric/Noel/Embiid next year, I will be attending many games.

[smeags]

agreed

[SD]

SI reporting the Lakers are locked in on Okafor

[phattymatty]

i've read like 3 stories that they're locked in on russell too.

i've been a mudiay > russell guy since the beginning of the year but lately i'm starting to lean towards russell.

draftexpress.com which i've never heard of has the 76ers taking kristaps. i think a lot of the hinkie worship dies if he pulls the trigger on that.
