Between two highlights of Lester Quinones or Frankie Ferrari, the NBA does not stop turning. Grant Williams joined the Mavericks in a sign and trade and a few minutes later it was Mo Bamba who changed dairies, heading to Philadelphia for a year!
Things are moving in Philadelphia, even if we were expecting a Woj Bomb concerning James Harden and we will therefore have to wait a little longer. The news of the night? It refers to Mo Bamba, former hope of the Magic who left last season for the Lakers without having succeeded in imposing himself there, for lack of time and lack of sufficiently solid health.
Free agent C Mo Bamba has agreed on a one-year deal with the Philadelphia 76ers, @PrioritySports’ Mark Bartelstein and agent Greer Love tell ESPN.

Sixth choice of the 2018 Draft, Mo Bamba has never managed to transpose his incredible athletic qualities into the NBA, even if, be careful, we are not talking either regarding a house painter who fell by chance on a parquet floor. Mo Bamba in five seasons is 7.5 points, 5.8 rebounds and 1.3 once morest average, and a very solid defender profile, who has become a useful role player over time and it may not be very bad.
With the Sixers his role seems in any case very clear: backer Joel Embiid on the 10 minutes he spends on the bench each evening. The Sixers also seem to be counting on Paul Reed in their rotation, on a more small ball game nevertheless, but Nick Nurse therefore now has his team of interiors and will be able to start projecting himself a little. To plan for the conference semi-finals probably, but that’s another subject.
