    I'm guessing he'll just sign there?

    that sucks, i loved the X-Man…..with some work on his J he could fit perfectly for us as a 3&D guy to eventually fill ariza's role

    Xavier. Man I forgot about him. Him, chambers and kemp always Gave us issues.


    So basically a wasted trade if we lose KJ. Not sure I see what we got out of that.

    Some shot at resigning him. Maybe Philly's gonna ball out and offer him a huge contract.

    Damn that's too bad, he was a decent prospect. Guess we gave up Canaan and a second for nothing. Oh well.

    Brain fart. Drop chambers and add Ellis.

    IMO, Sixers and Rockets have a "you scratch my back, I will scratch your back" relationship.

    I guess this is KJ McDaniels, but why call him Xavier?

    In the few moments he did play, he was pretty awful. He couldn't hit a shot to save his life. He was probably struggling to fit in our system in practice, and that's probably why he never got playing time.

    Another small forward by the name of Xavier McDaniel was quite nice in the late 80's early 90's. I think Cyb is dating himself a bit ha. Older fart like me eh cyber

    That's a great thing to have, especially since the sixers have so much cap space and assets. Good trading partner to have on speed dial.

    He probably never got any playing time because he wasn't nearly as good as Trevor Ariza and Corey Brewer.

    KJ has a lot of untapped potential. He's an athletic monster and he can be a great defender in this league. Sucks that he's leaving. I have more hopes in him than I have in Johnson.

    Thank you for clearing that up for me. I am not that knowledge able in basketball history. I only started to getting serious about basketball around the time Yao and T-Mac played for the Rockets.

    defensively he's a lot better than brewer. the problem was that the coaching staff doesn't make situational substitutions according to matchups. they stick with the same rotation and minutes pretty much no matter what.
