Okay, let's play a game. Here's part of a quote from a Yahoo! post.
The Philadelphia 76ers and Sacramento Kings were apparently discussing a deal that would send Samuel Dalembert out West in exchange for...
Do you even care what the end of that sentence is? Obviously you don't want to handcuff yourself any more than you currently are in terms of years until contracts are off the books, but the prospect of being a Dalembert-free city is quite appealing.
Sammy D. was also rumored to be close to heading to the Bobcats before they dealt for Stephen Jackson.
Chad Ford, in an ESPN chat, breaks down the likelihood of Sammy being dealt quite well.
It's tough. The only two teams with any real interest have been Sacramento and Charlotte. The problem is that the Sixers want salary cap relief in return. Charlotte just trade their cap relief away to Golden State for Stephen Jackson. Kings need a third team to make things happen. They aren't swapping Dalembert for Kenny Thomas straight up. But from a broader perspective ... Sixers looking to dump contracts. They've come a long way from the euphoria that surrounded the Elton Brand signing a little over 17 months ago.
At this point, with Speights sidelined, these trade rumors are what get us most excited about Sixers basketball.
