Good Morning!!
Merry Christmas!!!
Happy Hanukkah!!!
Happy Birthday!!!!

Harden and Tucker will go to the Clippers.

The 76ers will get...

Marcus Morris Nic Batum, Robert Covington, Kenyon Martin Jr. and draft picks, according to Wojnarowski. Philadelphia will also receive a 2028 unprotected first-round pick, two second-round picks, a pick swap and an additional first-round pick from a third team, Wojnarowski reported. P.J. Tucker and Filip Petrušev are also part of the deal and will go to LA, according to ESPN. The 76ers will waive Danny Green to free up a roster spot to complete the deal, according to Wojnarowski.

Literally the deal I asked for 2 days ago with bonuses of Batum and Martin.

Morey just gave the 76ers length, athleticism, toughness, shooting AND defense with this one deal, once everyone is healthy..

I can see another deal coming for one specific player since they've got Oubre, Batum, Martin, Melton, Beverly, Springer, House and Korkmaz.

There are too many players who can, should get playing time. Melton shouldn't start anymore and they need to replace Tucker's starting spot which I'd fill with Oubre or it could be Batum. Hell. I'd start both Oubre and Batum, crazy defense.

2nd unit is gonna be nuts with Reed-Morris-Covington. Something has to give, I can't see Korkmaz and Springer just bench sitting.

What a tremendous early birthday present.
I am so happy.

A great day indeed. That loser is finally the hell out of my face and he can go destroy some other team.

The fact that Daryl was actually able to improve the team is a huge bonus as well.

Happy Birthday Bel!

Not sure what went wrong with Harden and the FO. Sounded like Harden liked it here but at the end of the day, both sides needed to do what was right.

Takes a lot of money off the books. Sixers could really make a splash at the trade deadline.

Can't see Furk getting any more minutes than "popping the Kork" this year.

I actually liked the idea of Petrusev coming out in the draft but he's proven nothing.

PJ Tucker can go with Harden wherever he wants. He plays hard but he doesn't have anything left.

Probably the best deal you could have hoped for at this point.

Am I also totally nuts for thinking that KJ Martin might be the best player in this deal in 3 years?
