League sources: #Nets have asked #Sixers for both Matisse Thybulle and Tyrese Maxey to be included in a potential James Harden – Ben Simmons trade. Brooklyn also has tangible interest in sharpshooting guard Seth Curry, a career 44 percent 3-point shooter. – 11:51 AM

I had asked Devin Booker about Matisse Thybulle last night, so I followed up wondering how much matchups against elite defenders heighten his focus.
His joking response tells me one thing: You are WELCOME for what the bad man did tonight, Suns fans 😂 pic.twitter.com/eYIZgQhF5B – 10:42 PM

Chris Paul gets leveled setting a screen on Matisse Thybulle, and of course that’s the Sixers’ 5th team foul. Dude always knows when his opponent is about to put him in the bonus – 9:06 PM
