the nbadraft.net mock has orlando taking cole anthony at pick 15....if that happens, maybe they'll trade fultz back to the sixers!      

I actually thought about how to get him back because they need a 2nd unit bucket getter haha 

I still don't understand that trade. Just keep him in Delaware with no pressure for a year or 18 months and let him mature and get help. Grizzlies did it with Josh Jackson and kept him in the G League until he showed some maturity

I think they started rushing because of Embiids legs.

Getting zero value for Fultz 

The draft night pick swap to get Fultz

Giving up Covington, Saric for Butler then not signing him to an extension 

Drafting 53 big men in the last 5 years 

Inability to actually draft nba ready guys instead of projects 

Knowing Harris isn't worth the max but commuted to him because of the trade. 

 

This team needed Morey in the worst way

when they already had noel & embiid but drafted jahill f'n okafor anyway at pick 3.    that wasn't a great draft but porzingis went at 4 & booker at 13.

Made no sense. 

They compared the draft kid Toppin as Amare on offense and Okafor on defense hahaha. Poor kid got the Okafor defense comparison

Guess this draft prospect and I have been saying it for a while now. He is exactly like Wiggins and Simmons, just good it but doesn't care.

with hield making $24 mill this upcoming season, it pretty much has to be horford, imo.  josh + scott + zhaire doesn't even get there. 

gws2 is kind of a downer lately:

Buddy Hield is not the "significant" move. That is something that has been discussed. I hope to hear more as the day goes on but all i know as of this morning is Ben is still not being discussed.

What selection do the eagles have tonight? Could use a 6-5 wr.

I don't think I'll ever get to the point where I don't think of Revenge of the Nerds whenever I see this kids name.

I think Kevin does the best work for his big boards and mock drafts

He has us taking Josh Green who is an uber athlete and will do well hitting corner 3s and playing hard D until his game develops

Oh I don’t disagree with you. All those things show you the 76ers had no clue what they were doing. But I look at the Al Horford contract and say that contract is almost impossible to move until he becomes an expiring contract unless you give up a really good asseat which the Sixers aren’t going to do. Harris i still think has value but you’d have to take back bad contracts. I don’t think anybody around the league wants our Horford. I think people talked themselves into owe this team will take 100. I don’t think anyone wants him. he was declining with the Celtics and now he’s declined even more with the Sixers.

No.  Don't want another 3 and D with no handle who has to develop a shot.

i watched him at Arizona and talked to the coaches here about him. He is a nice kid and works hard. But he is not a very good shooter and it’s going to take him a few years to get there. Maybe with time he will get to that point. He also needs to work on his ball handling skills. It was an issue against better defenders that Arizona played last year. Also point out he was lacking some confidence at times at Arizona. His performances from the utah game to the wazzu game it was noticeable. 

I don’t doubt the Sixers would take him because he has tremendous upside. he and Ben Simmons are good friends so Simmons likely vouches for him.

Figured you would chime in, thanks.

Morey is working on other trades to obtain players that Houston may want in lieu of Simmons. It’s a long shot but he is working many avenues here.

Just listened to Kevin O'Connor and he just doesn't think the owner will trade him to Morey

I don’t think it’s going to happen unless you put Ben Simmons in there. But I understand why Morey Doesn’t want to do that. I think he’s thinking two moves ahead like in chess. If he’s able to get James Harden without having to give up Ben Simmons then the next move He can do is use Ben Simmons to get pieces around harden and embiid Or bring another star to go around those two.
