I think one of Philly beat writers said to expect a deal in 24-48 hours on Saturday night
They don't know any more than us. The first time the rumor started, they said the deal was likely to get done that day.

DC is apparently sitting tonight for personal reasons. Could just be vet rest, but curious.

Very weird how many guys are sitting for "personal" reasons right now.

Moore, Ajinca, DC. Strange.

Yep. Never paid attention before to see how often players sat for personal reasons, but this seems extraordinary.

Dante has become a very good player on a cheap deal and comes with Bird Rights. I could see a playoff team having interest in him if we're doing some kind of 3 way. On paper a late 1st for DC seems crazy, but to a cap strapped playoff team, a guy that can guard 3-5 and hit 39% from 3 is gold.

ETA:

Pels get Okafor
Philly gets Asik + Sullinger + Pels 2018 pick + worse of Clippers/Raptors 2017 pick
Toronto gets Cunningham

Dumping Asik would be mighty tempting in that deal.

I do think DC would be very useful to a contender.

@The_Zack_Barnes I really don't think they'd designate them as "personal" because of trade discussions.


So how would they designate them? They have to list some reason, you either list a fake injury, or go with something like "rest". Personal seems like the easy option to stop follow up questions.

"I see Jones has a thumb injury, did he get xrays?"
"Moore is listed as out for Rest for the 2nd straight game. What made him so tired?"
"Cunningham is out for personal reasons, can you elaborate? No? Personal means personal? Ok then."

Bulls shopping McDermott and Lopez looking for a 1st to send to Sixers for Okafor.

Demps may make a deal that is reasonable on paper...emphasis on MAY.
But he has proven incapable of putting together a team. Let the next guy evaluate the assets and make the moves.
