The Sixers' moves ahead of Thursday afternoon's trade deadline spoke muffledly, so president of basketball operations Daryl Morey did the talking ahead of Friday's loss to the Atlanta Hawks.
Cobbling together a couple of role players who can each do one or two things quite well is a reasonable way to find the light at the end of Philadelphia's tunnel.
Philadelphia Sixers head coach Doc Rivers said pregame that 'there is a lot to learn offensively' as guard James Harden is making his debut on Friday night against the Minnesota Timberwolves.
ESPN's Tim Legler says there could be some growing pains early, with both Harden and Embiid having an alpha mentality, wanting to score the basketball.
