The Philadelphia 76ers and the camp of Markelle Fultz are in disagreement over his continued shooting struggles.

A team source said Fultz's issues are "definitely the yips."

A source close to Fultz said he's hurt and suggested that his thumb his bothering him.

Fultz is independently being evaluated this week

Sounds like a guy you invest trading a first round pick in!

Now it’s his thumb?!?

That’s causing him to pump fake free throws?!

I hope Fultz gets traded and turns it around elsewhere.

He has a thumb in his brain.

Cavs have reportedly offered Korver and a protected pick for Fultz

All the stories I've seen have mentioned his wrist not his thumb.

Who is reporting that?

Danny Ainge over here like...




(But seriously - that trade might end up being nearly as bad as the original Brooklyn trade, or at least as much of a heist by Danny as that Brooklyn trade.)

Apparently he is mostly relying on Kyler of basketball insiders

Dang. #1 Pick potentially could be traded for 37-year old Korver + a heavily protected pick 

If the Sixers never take that "next step", then the Fultz/Tatum Draft will be what haunts the Sixers the most IMHO.

Well, if they consider Fultz to be Anthony Bennett level , then that's a good deal for them, and nobody has a better sense of Fultz at the moment than they do.

Well, that's the point. The draft pick (Fultz) officially a bust IF it happens. Obviously the Sixers will try to work around it with that hypothetical trade (salary dump) + the Butler trade as they should, but that still doesn't change the fact. This move will likely be the one that they'll get scrutinized on going forward (unless of course they win it all soon or land a max-FA superstar like KD or Kawhi, etc.)

Funny how a protected pick becomes a heavily protected pick on here when the Sixers are involved.  In a dozen more posts, it'll probably be a 2nd rounder. 

Unless the Kings draft pick turns out much better than it currently looks (late lottery), I doubt the Fultz trade would haunt the Sixers most.  If the trade didn't occur, Fultz is almost certainly available at the 3rd spot where the Sixers were picking.  Losing a late lottery pick isn't that big of a deal especially when it was acquired in a salary dump heist.

Yeah, all they ended up losing in that case was Tatum. Clearly though he's not good enough for that PHI team and just wouldn't fit that team. 

And what first round pick is CLE offering PHI? Because right now CLE is pretty much a lock to land a Top-3 pick with the one they have this year.
