Damn, that was already 8 years ago. Time really does fly.

They must have something in the works, I wouldn't think you'd put it out there unless a deal was close.
G League Finals today at 4:30 on ESPN2 in Orlando.
Delaware Blue Coats vs Lakeland Magic
It's been a few years since I've closely followed the Blue Coats (used to be the 87ers) because the Sixers have actually been good. But Morey drafted some players in this Blue Coats roster, so I've been interested in keeping track. Tyrese Maxey has been with the Sixers all year, but Isaiah Joe and Paul Reed have bounced back and forth between teh NBA and G League, and have been stars in the G League playoffs. Joe is a rangey SG and Reed a big, old school C. Justin Robinson is also a really interesting player (remember him from VT?); last year signed an UDFA deal with the Wizards, this year with the Sixers. His assist rate is pretty eye-popping, including 14 in the semifinal against the Raptors affiliate (seven turnovers too...).
I'll probably check this game out. I think Isaiah Joe is probably the best NBA prospect on either team, his three point shot is great. He was a four year guy at Arkansas, so he's already 21, will be 22 before next season starts.
I'm not sure if I'm shaking my head laughing or being sad. The concept that players are "too old" to get started at 21-24 is so silly. Players' primes are most often from 25+-32 or so. If a player comes into the league more ready at 23 than at 19, why are people turning off? It's less prep time, closer to reaching prime years and still very young.
