Reports showing up all over the internet. Seems legit. Problem is, there's some sort of 60-day rule that they're trying to bypass. I think you have to wait 30 days per trade and Bennett will have been traded twice in the same day. Something like that.
Anyway, I don't know how I feel about it. I like it for the Sixers because they're acquiring a lot of young talent while continuing to tank. Not really sure what Minny is doing. Thad is 26 years old and a solid player, but him and Rubio aren't enough to help Minny win, so they'll most certainly get a top pick next year. And Thad's contract expires after next year (plus rumors have it he wants to play for a contender), so Minny will most likely only have him for a year. The only thing this really tells me is that Minny had absolutely no interest in Bennett and all the interest was in Wiggins. In that case, I would have asked for Waiters or Thompson in the trade instead.
