SACRAMENTO, Calif. –Â NBA players for both the Sacramento Kings and Boston Celtics made a visible statement Sunday, wearing black T-shirts calling for change in the wake of the police shooting death of Stephon Clark, reports CBS Sacramento. The front side read, “accountability we are one.”
Udonis Haslem doesn’t need to sell anyone on how he feels about Dwyane Wade. They spent their first 13 years in the league together, won three championships together, talk to each other every day and go on vacation together. So now that Wade, 35, is in the process of having his contract bought out
The Philadelphia 76ers are expected to listen to trade offers for the third overall pick. With Joel Embiid and Paul George in their thirties and on max contracts, drafting a young player who may need a few years to develop wouldn’t necessarily be the best strategy if they’re trying to maximize their title odds with their existing core.
If the Sixers keep the pick, it is unclear who they would target at No. 3. Ace Bailey is considered by some to be the third best player in the draft, but he is a prospect who is more theoretical with big upside. Bailey also doesn’t perform well in the kinds of statistical models that Daryl Morey’s front offices are typically known to value.
VJ Edgecombe could be a more logical fit, but his lack of size alongside an already small backcourt of Tyrese Maxey and Jared McCain is a drawback.
“I’ve also gotten a wider sense of appreciation from NBA front offices for Edgecombe than Bailey,” writes Sam Vecenie at The Athletic.
Kon Knueppel would fill a need for the Sixers and could contribute right away, but he doesn’t have the type of upside teams typically seek at No. 3. Tre Johnson is a good shooter, but his defensive concerns are legitimate. Khaman Maluach would give the Sixers a backup center option behind Embiid, but No. 3 would be high for him to be selected.
