Trying to figure out if this might be a smokescreen from Cleveland about medical red flags on Embiid:

How would putting this out (unless it's true) help their competitive position? The only thing I can think of is that maybe they're trying to scare Philly (that the Cavs might take Wiggins), and have Philly raise whatever offer they've already made to swap picks. But what do the Sixers have that would even interest the must-win-now Cavs?

Not sure about validity of that. That's for the top 3 teams to worry about.
 
I think Pelton did a statistical analysis of the euro crop and Capela showed well in it, came out with a projected 3.4 Warp. Exum was 3.2, Nurkic was 3.3. So he's statistically high on Capela and those 2 others as well I guess.
 
I like Cappella, but figure he'd be long gone by 23. That rumor is just strange. Fwiw, I have liked Hood, Capella and Staskus to rise on draft day, but it looks like they are rising in the mocks and rumors now too.

Locke told DJ this morning that two weeks before the draft everyone is lying, even Randy Rigby. So I don't know what to make of Capella rumours or the story about Cleveland leaking Embiids back reports.

Other odd news...

Randle did a private work out for the Sixers. https://www.philly.com/philly/blogs...com&utm_source=twitterfeed&utm_medium=twitter

And Rodney Hood cancels workout in Sacramento.

And Exum to the Bucks...Bogus, one source said. “(Exum) is a real option for them, because of the size and the upside,” the source said. “Nobody there is approaching this like, ‘I need to save my job.’ You don’t do that in a draft. In free agency, that is a different story. But no one is going to save their job in the draft. If Exum is as good as they think he will be, they’d pull the trigger.” https://www.sportingnews.com/nba/st...wiggins-jabari-parker-joel-embiid-cavs-76ers/
