    I'm not sold on the Sixers trade just yet as the team doesn't seem to have cohesion, yet...
    Harris is a perfect fit...
    Something is wrong w the team though.  You think adding him makes Embiid and Butler not fight for the ball?
    you make it seem like they're falling apart. They're still figuring it all out. Will they in time? We'll find out. 
    Alright, alright, alright!

    They're going to get killed in the playoffs in the second round if they don't.

    I've said I like the Sixers now, I've drank the kool-aid but, they don't have a togeherness feel to them.

    They got beat by the raptors who are 17-13 vs 500 teams where the 76ers are 12-14.  They may have a good record but the good teams are going to prevail against them.

    I also may be wrong about the bucks but come playoff time things are different.  I still see them exiting early too.

    I love that everywhere I see this posted there are a bunch of dumbasses yelling "4 steps, 5 steps, travel!"  I see 2.  You could say 3 but the first is practically simultaneous with picking up the ball.

    The NBA has given players that "transition" step for a while now.

    Transition "steps". Kind of hard to play D vs. that. Also, why can't guys in the post get this transition step? Big guys always get screwed.

    Back in HS I could take long drives from the 3 pt line and do a layup and was called for travel.  I would show everyone in slowmo that just because I can jump that far in two steps it's not traveling.

    So I invented that shit, well kinda...

    All "super teams" have that same problem though. I'm not worried about Embiid. Butler? Who knows...

    Just looking at the general make up of that starting five? I love it. Harris gives them so much more spacing which is key for Embiid.

    Fultz is gone.  I remember someone saying they might trade him and I remember saying "who'd want him?!?"

    Well, now we know.

    Euro Step?. Bob Cousy was probably making that move when he played.

    He wasn't.  Watch some old footage and you'll see some cool ass passes though.

    wasn't Ginobli was the 1st to use it in the NBA?  and since he isn't European why is it called a Euro step?

    The move was first brought into the NBA in 1989, primarily by Šarūnas Marčiulionis, now generally accepted as the league's first practitioner of the move. The move was further popularized in North America in the 2000s by Manu Ginóbili, who arrived in the NBA from the Italian league, though Ginobili honed the move while playing on playgrounds in his native Argentina.
