    No way, man.

    TPE for Dudley, and then this as a separate deal. If PHX doesn't do it, I don't care and walk away. The only player with value is Bledsoe - Chandler has negative value, and Dudley is probably worth somewhere between a 2nd Rounder and Shumpert.

    I was just seeing what it would take to make numbers match, not making a reasonable trade.

    Sure, Chandler has negative value--no argument there. But so do the guys you're trying to send out in exchange for him and Bledsoe. Where's the benefit from Phoenix's end for that deal?

    I don't care about PHX! :) In fact, of all the places I've been in the world, Phoenix is my least favorite.

    In terms of assessing OKC, I agree, it doesn't mean anything. It still amused me though.

    For followers of basketball in Australia however, it's a big deal. I wouldn't have thought an NBL team could get within 30 points of an NBA team, preseason or not.

    Hopefully this will convert some of the Aussie NBA snobs, who only follow the NBA, and refuse to support the local league.

    I also hope it will help convince more NBA level players to consider the NBL as a career path.

    Players like Stephen Jackson, Joe Ingles, Rick Brunson, James Ennis, and Terrance Ferguson all played in the NBL before they played in the NBA, and I'd love to see more.

    I'd watch the Aussie league if I could. I love hoops. Steve Blake said he did not enjoy his time over there though. I'm sure it was being away from his family, and not the country. Hear nothing but nice stuff about it......except from my New Zealand friends.

    Wow my first thought was it is insane based on his injury history. But then I read this:

    "The deal will include some salary cap protection for the 76ers should Embiid sustain injury that causes him to miss significant playing time, league sources said."

    How does that work?

    I feel like Oden has played more games than Embid so far. I know Embid has less years but god damn...

    Even with salary protection that's way too high of a risk. I'd hate that if our team did that. (sorry BGD)

    Crazy!

    I thought for sure he’d have to take the original Steph Curry type of discount because of his injuries but I guess not...
