Here\u2019s what people were saying:<\/p>\n

@CoffeeKyng:<\/a> \u201cThey embarrassed LeBron and Embiid so these dudes are stamped for life.\u201d<\/p>\n

@migwobben:<\/a> \u201cDon\u2019t love leaving Uzan unprotected in the event another team offers him a two way. Assume that would be more lucrative than the ~90k? bonus he would get for playing in Maine\u201d<\/p>\n

@tamarackhack207:<\/a> \u201cI\u2019m sure Hayden Gray is staying in the gleague and trying to make a team but he would go crazy in Europe\u201d<\/p>\n

@CourtOfThought:<\/a> \u201cWhat? These guys just went to WAR with the sixers and won.\u201d<\/p>\n
