What, you thought you were going to be able to eat your lunch? Don't be stupid! It's trade deadline day! There is no Cobb salad when at any moment your phone is going to vibrate with a Shams or Woj bomb and holy shit are we off and running. You can't order a chicken caesar wrap and expect to be able to just peacefully enjoy it on trade deadline day. Not when there are still deals like this one out there to be made. I mean, sure, there were some trades leading up to this one. It started with the Russell Westbrook, then we learned about some smaller trades like Kevin Durant going to Phoenix. Those are nice I guess but don't really move the needle.
This? MATISSE THYBULLE?
Yeah, that's a big deal.
I've always said that the Philadelphia 76ers men's professional basketball team were just one (1) Jalen McDaniels away from being the next great dynasty. If you want to win a championship in the NBA, you need star power. And that's exactly what Jalen McDaniels brings to this roster. I mean everybody on the planet has their favorite Jalen McDaniels moment throughout his career. Now we get to watch even more of them happen in a Sixers uniform. Sure, the Sixers are going to be absolute dog shit defensively. But that doesn't change the fact that we got Jalen "No I Didn't Just Have To Google Search Him" McDaniels making sure that the East runs through Philly now. Did Daryl Morey do it again, or did Daryl Morey do it again?
I think I need a minute to sit back and digest what just happened. Shoutout to me for blogging this all in real time as these Shams/Woj bombs are flying in. God I love the NBA Trade deadline. There's nothing like it on earth.
