Hypothetically, let’s say Philadelphia 76ers general manager Elton Brand received a phone call from another team’s GM and the conversation started like this:
“Hey EB, could you use a 21-year-old kid who is the star of his country’s national team and is a 6-foot-7 deadly outside shooter; plus he can handle the ball and is an above-average passer? Oh, and he will come to you with a rock-bottom salary.”
One would think the answer from Brand would be an immediate ‘Yes’ — but apparently it is a resounding ‘No’!
That hypothetical general manager just described the attributes of Furkan Korkmaz, who the Sixers already have, but probably not for long.
