Philadelphia 76ers Receive: C Richaun Holmes 

Sacramento Kings Receive: G/F Matisse Thybulle, G/F Furkan Korkmaz 

There is no doubt that you will be unable to believe your good fortune may have a lot to do with what you had previously expected. 

You’re a decent basketball player and you show up at a gym and find yourself in a game of one on one. If you’re playing against an average person, you’re likely to be disappointed. If Jordan Poole is there, you should be thrilled as you score a basket. 

There are the same principles that apply to NBA teams. For instance, the Kings would be satisfied if they made it to the playoffs this season.

Even a first-round exit would be the crowning achievement of this 76ers team. The consequences of facing such a fate could be catastrophic, with James Harden having the option of becoming a free agent again. Joel Embiid may think twice about sticking around, too.

For the 76ers, however, that is not the case. This team is going to have to deliver in 2022-23. Anything short of a trip to the Conference Finals will be considered a disappointment. 

Can they accomplish their goals with the help of this deal?
