I’m interested to see how Justin edwards does, looks like he had a decent game today after a quiet first game
I watched the game--Edwards was OK, at best needs a couple of years of G-league. No handle, no play-making. Good defense, average shot at best. He's a project, I don't think he can play this season.
Bona deal...4 yrs, $8M

Sixers getting older but i think this has to be the all-in season.
I hear music on the team plane this year will be supplied by "The Bridge" on SiriusXM...
All players will get a free Jitterbug Flip phone...
Sketchers will be the official "off-court" shoe...
Free medicare seminars at the practice facility...
Most are one year deals.
The bigger issue is whether they'll start using their draft picks instead of trading them for veterans.
They used both of their picks this year.
they are not building towards the future...they are building to surround Embiid with a team that can win a championship.
And an AARP sponsorship!
The coaches will have to yell louder, because many of them "just don't hear anything any more".
McCain and Bona will "red shirt" this season, but they'll need them to step up next year.Not to start, but to fill out the top ten with low salaries.There's a limited supply of capable veterans who'll play for minimum wage.
Apparently the supply isn't as limited as we think. Sixers are signing some pretty capable minimum salary vets...Drummond, Lowry, Gordon, Jackson. You can't treat them as a limited resource.
Drummond is making something like $7M a year.We'll see if the others have anything left in the tank.
We'll find out who has anything left in the tank, we've seen some names past their expiration date.
On the French team there didn't seem to be much he couldn't do. He's got attitude and skills and shot 41% from the 3:over a 3-year period. I like his toughness but wonder what the refs will see..I love this signing. Some body with size and quickness has to complicate life for the "Giannis' " we face. At least slow them down! .
Embiid extension.
Not surprised it happened, surprised there was no build-up to it.
That sounds like a good deal for the city, not the normal pro-sports ripoff.
