He said he thinks Kemba is one of the 15-20 best players in the league, not top 10.On how much he likes Kemba. Wouldn’t vote for him for All-NBA but now thinks he’s a top 10 guy and a great teammate
With all the talk about Butler to Houston in a sign and trade, the Sixers would need a third team as they would have no use for Capela. First, the Sixers would need to get Gordon to do an extension.
Why on earth would Atlanta do that? Pretty sure they view Hunter as significantly better than PJ Tucker. Biyombo 2.0 does nothing for that team. And they have to give up a first round pick plus Huerter to do that? That makes zero sense.

Backup C is the top need for the Sixers. Resting Embiid enough for the playoffs is literally the thing keeping them from winning a title in next season's NBA.

Do the Sixers need a backup C so they can play Embiid fewer minutes or do they need a backup C because they don’t plan to play him more than 60-65 regular season games. Or both?

Reducing the season is not something I am interested in at all but I can understand that point of view. Introducing a cup competition is just dumb. There is no need or desire for it.
I think you're missing the point of these exercises, wherein rj plays NBA2K GM to improve the Sixers

Both. They ran out rookie Jonah Bolden and mecha Boban last year.
