Returning to basketball normalcy will be hard for some time, after the untimely demise of Kobe Bryant, his daughter, and 7 others in a helicopter crash on Sunday. But in the spirit of Mamba Mentality, we can certainly make the effort. The trade wheels of the NBA are turning, and the Sixers, seen as underperforming despite their 30-17 record, are all over the conversations, with Ben Simmons and Joel Embiid touted as possible trade targets. The Dubs do feature in those conversations, but its hard to assess how realistic the chatter is – especially given that Stephen Curry is due to be re-evaluated in a few days and the Dubs haven’t seen this roster play with either Splash Brother on the floor.
