Don't know anything about him. Can you elaborate?

22 years old (same draft as Maxey and Bball Paul), hyper athletic. Averaged almost 13 a game with career high averages in points, assists, rebounds and FG%.

He's really the only prospect (outside of Petrusev who's not on his level) in this deal. He's an ascending player that tends to get forgotten in deals like this when they're made, but looked back on later as being a big part.

We also get his bird rights in this deal.

He's exactly the type of player we should be looking at as a ticket for a possible next step.

ive been a critic of Morey but this is quite the deal so ill walk that criticism back. Harden was never going to play here and he only wanted to go to one team. morey had no leverage. but he got the two 1sts he wanted in addition to cap flexibility, players, additional picks, etc. kinda stunned.

This has never been more appropriate:

So so so true. My level of hatred of James Harden is actually higher than Scott Stevens for ruining big E's career. I can't remember a Philadelphia athlete I've ever despised more.

Buff, I'm quietly quite geeked at the idea of Martin and I'd love to see him on the floor with Oubre and Maxey. I want a team that finishes above the rim.

Getting RoCo back is almost as good as getting rid of Harden.

Would love Saric back, too.

I might be alone but I'd like to have Fultz back to play backup PG, to run the 2nd unit.

I haven't been this happy with the 76ers' roster in quite some time, going back to Hinkie's last season.

That's the last time they had likeable players, talent, picks and cap space.

My 2nd favorite element of this trade is cutting Danny Green.
