UPDATE: Sixers Reportedly Acquire JaVale McGee and First Round Pick in Hilarious Trade
The Sixers have reportedly acquired the man, the myth, the hilarious legend JaVale McGee from the Denver Nuggets, along with a first round pick (via Oklahoma City). Here’s a sampling of why the internet loves JaVale McGee:

And that first round pick, according to Pro Sports Transactions, is a protected 2015 first rounder. The pick came to the Nuggets from the Cavaliers in the Timofey Mozgov trade, and is protected as such:
2015 first round pick (protected top 18 in 2015, top 15 in 2016-17, else 2018 second round pick and 2019 second round pick)
Something tells me the day is just beginning, but we get to laugh about JaVale McGee and get a (potential) first round pick? What did we do to deserve this?
UPDATE: The Sixers sent rights to Cenk Aykol to Denver for this deal. Who? What? This:
Sam Hinkie turned Thad Young into two potential first rounders.
