BUT FIRST, MORE SLOP UP TOP. We dissected Daryl Morey's interview on Mikey Miss and talked about a few things that he could be hinting at as far as trade targets on the Kings, Hawks and maybe one other team/player that could be involved. Most importantly we tried to figure out who is the "top 40" player that Morey is talking about? We also touched on a report by our guy Keith Pompey, Jason Dumas' appearance on Si6 where he spilled some more information including one heavily discussed player who the Sixers are 100 percent not interested in. Next we talked about Embiid's dominant performance against the Orlando Magic and why he could be the MVP of the league despite the calculator boys crying about this. We discussed how he stacks up against Jokic and Giannis and why the narrative is so important for the award. Plus, where does Embiid rank amongst Sixers players of the last 35 years? Lastly we gave Seth Curry his flowers because he his in the middle of the best season of his career and the tide amongst Sixers fans seems to be turning against him for some reason.
