quote:

PHILADELPHIA -- A Philadelphia 76ers fan wearing an Allen Iverson jersey was escorted out of the arena midway through the first quarter after flashing double middle fingers at Oklahoma City Thunder star Russell Westbrook following an and-1 during the season opener for both teams.

Westbrook finished a layup plus the foul with 4:52 remaining in the first quarter and looked out at the crowd on the baseline and let out a yell with a flex.

The fan, sitting on the second row of the baseline, stood up and put the middle fingers directly in Westbrook's face and said, "F--- you!" Westbrook looked at the nearby referee with a confused look and said, "Can he do that?"

While at the line taking his free throw, other Sixers fans also chanted, "KD left you!"

At the time, the Sixers led 18-7. Following the incident the Thunder outscored the Sixers 16-6 to finish the first quarter.

I think Noel is worth about a Cory Joseph or a Terrance Ross. He's a fantastic rim defender but that's all he is. His shot sucks, he gets hurt a lot, and he has no bulk so he's still getting beat on when bigs set up on him. Also the Sixers need guard and wing help like woah so no wonder they're going to get bitched out in a trade.

I'd do Noel for Joesep and a 1st. Sixers need to trade somebody and I'll take an NBA player back in a heartbeat

I'm surprised a bottom spending team hasn't reached out yet. Nuggets, Nets, Sixers, Jazz, Suns, and Twolves all have over 10 mil in cap space right now. Next year Sixers are gonna have 27 mil in cap space, Nets are gonna have 25 mil, and the Nuggets are gonna have 23 mil.

You figure Millsap next to Embiid is nearly perfect. Millsap next to Brook doesn't really solve their paint issues but I wouldn't put it past the Nets to jump the gun on the rebuild. Nuggets issues go beyond adding Millsap and probably include subtracting a bunch of pieces like Gallinari and Nurkic.

why would Milsap want to re-sign with any of these teams
