How serious are the talks? Nobody knows. But, a deal would almost certainly have to include a combination of Joel Embiid, Jahlil Okafor and Nerlens Noel going to Los Angeles, right? If this is the kind of thing that gets you excited, Wesley Share is here to dis-excite (?) you.

I don’t disagree. This’ll be something to watch, though. I could absolutely see the Sixers making a move like this with the new front office addition of Jerry Colangelo.

UPDATE: Clippers beat writer for the LA Times Ben Bolch says there is no active interest by teams in Griffin. Remember that. Active.

Multiple teams have inquired with Clippers about Blake Griffin offering various packages but team has no active interest in deal, per source
