Frankly i don’t think the sixers are keeping whoever they pick. I think they’ll draft for whomever they are making a deal with. They can trade the kid from what I’ve heard in multiple podcast a month after they select whoever. So I’m guessing that draft pick doesn’t ever play for the sixers. 

yep. I want McGowens, but 99.99% chance this pick gets packaged in a trade with Thybulle and/or Harris. 

Was reading some league exec said the 6ers will likely look to package Danny Green's contract with Thybulle in a trade. The suggestion was for Beasley. 

I like that, but we would still need some 3s and 4s who can play.

Beasley has off the court issues but at this point he actually would help the sixers in a position they need badly. I’d take the risk even with his baggage. I’d do that deal. Imo sucks to trade whoever is taken at 23 cause i actually think where they are picking this year there’s gonna be a better pool of prospects than where they were last year

There is no chance Doc plays a rookie anyway, so might as well trade the pick.

I feel it’s likely going to be put with Harris to get Harris off the books with thybulle.

We don't want Moore. He's got a little game but disappears for long stretches, important stretches. The only players from this last Duke team that I'd take in the first or 2nd round would be Banchero, Griffin, and maybe Mark Williams.

I will disagree. They all had a role to play for that team and individual games suffered at Duke. While Moore isn't great at anything, he is really good at a lot of things. Exactly what you want as a role guy. 

I mean you showed your hand by saying maybe Mark Williams. Williams is going to be a really good player in the league for the next 10 years and might be a sneak his way into the lottery. He has a soft shooting touch, decent FT shooter for his size, above average defender who won't get destroyed on switches, has a standing reach of 9'9" and a wingspan of 7'6". He will have a better career than Griffin.

Showed my hand?   Williams’ development was something to behold, but he still got manhandled by stronger bigs. Maybe he gets strong enough to handle it in the NBA, maybe he doesn’t. Maybe. And spending a 1st or 2nd round pick on a guy who, on occasion, is really good at a lot of things, but disappears for long stretches is too risky, and I would hope the 6ers wouldn’t take the chance, but you do you.

Yeah you said you maybe take Mark in the 1st or 2nd round. 

Williams weighed in at 242 for the combine at 20 years old, kid will fill out and has a standing reach higher than Gobert. He will play in the league based off being an elite shot blocker, but he also has a solid shooting stroke. Mark will be a much better pro than he was in college. He makes it to the Hornets and they are solidly in the playoffs because he does everything they need. 

Who do you think is drafted in the 20s and 2nd round? Guys that are amazing prospects that can do everything or guys that have flaws or all potential. Moore is a good basketball player that can start if needed or be a great role player. Not every dude needs to be a superstar or star. Fill a role in the team that can help. Moore is that with the Sixers. He can guard multiple positions, shoot the 3, handle the ball when needed, and rebounds well. 

 

 

Interesting trade idea here for Thybulle.

Liked Kenrich at the deadline but if I'm targeting a guy it is Josh Hart.

I know youre not on board with Randle, but this is my likely ideal scenario right now. Brings in a great scoring 6th man, and replaces Harris and Green in the starting lineup with a new SF and PF. 

We can add in any sweetners necessary such as Joe, Shake, Furk, Springer, etc. or picks.

These deals and a couple FA signings should have us looking good.

I put $20 on the Celtics when you showed this. Only saving grace for me if Boston wins.

They are a cocky, classless organization from top to bottom. Got gifted a title in 2015 thanks to every team they played having injuries, lost in 2016 so they added a talented but loathsome baby so they could win 2 titles. Curry is an ass. So is Kerr. And then there is Draymond. 
 

There is zero likable about those clowns. 

Iggy hasn't played since Nuggets Game 3 but played 12 minutes last night with another non shooter in Draymond. 

Not at all arrogant when they are 15 to play him when he is a shell of himself.

you know what's worse is that the coach on the celtics was bb's assistant,  if this doesnt get fans to wake up and boycott this organization so josh the idiot harris can sell the team, there's no way we are ever going to win a championship not with him here.

Struggling to understand why Minnesota would ever do that.

The biggest red flag of a player is you get paid and then play like crap the next year. Randle lived up to the hype and then some of that. He has a massive usage rate around 28% last few years then combed with Harden, Maxey and Embiid I don't see it working. 

You need dirty work guys or key stand there and shoot guys like PJ Washington, Josh Hart, Beasley, Harrison Barnes, or Buddy type. PJ is PJ Tucker 2.0. Dude that is a great glue guy and can shoot a good corner 3

Heck, Eric Gordon and Wood for Tobias works.

I can get on board with just about anything to shake this roster up and add some glue guys. 

Jake LaRavia is an interesting option as a 4 man. He has a good handle, enough to play point forward. Good passer, averaged 3.8 assists. And can shoot the 3 well. He can even hit them on the move. Nice player.

I wouldnt be opposed to EJ Liddell either. He can shoot the 4 from the 4 spot, but is also a good rim protector. More of a powerful build. Can score at all 3 levels and do the dirty work banging down low.

Like EJ, a junior, who has experience and build ready to play, 6'11" wingspan and 38 inch max vert. His lateral quickness isn't the greatest but play around 230 instead of 240 may help

yeah. those 2 I mentioned are nice stretch 4s, but built in very different mold, and different skillset aside from 3 point shooting. Im not sure which Id prefer. 

Almost feel Liddell is a little too old school to pair with Embiid. Though, he would likely help with rebounding.

I kinda like LaRavia's more perimeter skillset for pairing with Embiid.

Liddell shot 37 % from 3 on 4 attempts so can shoot. EJ is more of a win now type player and Sixers need those. 

 

Those negatives are puke worthy.

Ok. But we are picking 23rd in the NBA draft so you arent getting a complete player there. In this range, its probably more important to look at the positives and figure where he can fit in. You hope he can work on the negatives in the offseasons once he is in the league.

Check out this handle, passing, and movement skills on the big guy, and how he fills the stat sheet. Ive got no problem with this player.

Yes, he will have to develop a left hand around the rim. But junior high kids can do that. Im pretty sure he will eventually be able to pick up some left hand skills. 

 

imo, upside could be a better version of Markkanen. 

He looks like a decent player but this team is already unathletic besides Maxey and he doesn't look athletic. Then having to play against another tier of athletes would worry me. 

Just like Liddell if had to choose between the two.
