Windhorst The difference between US winning gold or not could end up being Embiid This is not a luxury player this is a necessity player Hill recruited him over the course of a year We as Americans don't have a lot of great centers Joel playing shouldn't be criticized it should be applauded

Windhorst In the last few days I dont think Philly really loved their position in the running Their big pitch was trading for Jaylen Brown but LeBron kept making it a point to reach out to the 76ers players and give them hope that they were still involved

Draymond Green Says the biggest loser in the Sixers situation is VJ Edgecombe If Im VJ Edgecombes agent Im not sure Im happy with the summer that the 76ers have had Like you go from being sometimes the second option when Embiid was out to being the fifth option Its a big big difference

Windhorst It wasn't that the league doesn't think Jaylen Brown is a great player or an excellent player is that the league doesn't value what he produces at his salary slot 57M And that is why he was traded and that is why he was traded for relatively so little

Becky Hammon three years ago Jalen Brunson is too small If your best player is small you're not winning

Windhorst Okay so if you say to me Giannis has now been traded who would be the next NBA star that you would watch The answer would be Anthony Edwards They are not adding to the team Ant has watched KAT get traded and win a championship Last summer they let NAW go and he goes and wins MIP

Windhorst on LeBron He doesn't seem like he's going to live in Philadelphia full time seems like he's going to live at least part time in New York I don't even know how to frame it because it's really truly unbelievable
