Fun read. Thanks for posting.Zach Lowe’s recap pieces on the actually ping pong ball drawing is always a fun read for stuff like this:

We've talked about it before, but I find it amusing that Lowe still talks about the "laughably lopsided" Sixers Kings trade. Here's the final tally: for taking on Stauskas, Thompson, and Landry, PHI got a 2020 top-20 protected Thunder first-round pick, a 2019 Magic second-round pick, and Jonathon Simmons.
Plus, SAC avoided making a franchise altering mistake by drafting Fultz and was able to draft Fox instead.
Not saying that it was a great trade but it certainly didn't end up "laughably lopsided".
