It’s a slow day in a strange off-season for the Sixers and therefore a slow day for us folks who write and talk about the team. Joel Embiid’s supermax extension is signed and out of the way. Our Paul Hudrick has confirmed that the 53rd pick, a big out of Western Kentucky, Charles Bassey is expected to receive a standard roster spot. That following the team having waived Rayjon Tucker in order to make room for former Hornet guard Grant Riller to sign his two-way contract. They also officially “stashed” 50th pick Filip Petrusev overseas for the year.
The Minnesota Timberwolves have been “persistent” in trying to acquire Ben Simmons
