LAS VEGAS - As strange as it may sound, Nik Stauskas may find more NBA stability in Philadelphia than he had in Sacramento. That's right, the franchise that has won a total of 37 games the past two seasons combined is probably a settling place for the Michigan product.
The 6-6 shooting guard is in Las Vegas with his new team, though not able to play for two reasons. The trade that brought him to the Sixers along with Jason Thompson, Carl Landry and other bits and pieces wasn't finalized until last weekend, so practice time was limited.
