May 13May 13 Just now, Diehardfan said:I'd never do that. I'd honestly go the other way and sell George and Embiid for picks or younger players. They have a great chance to rebuild pretty quickly. Problem is DM doesn't know how to build other than trading for aging vets.They aren’t going to deal embiid and frankly doing it now they’d get very little with Morey coming out and saying IF he plays. They are basically stuck in limbo until he actually plays (actually if he can’t resume then the sixers can use a rule that i posted on here i think back in December to get out of that contract) I think to deal George you’d have to tie that 3rd overall pick (or future picks) to have someone take the contract. Frankly if they were going to go after giannis (highly unlikely), PG has to be included to try to match salary to make anything work.

Just now, mr_hunt said::lol: i don't think i know one utah jazz fan. you live near there or something?Yep. Until the BS hockey team got here they had nothing else in their lives. University of Utah fans aren't as bad, but it's the same thing with BYU football where they think they are hot crap and don't realize how pathetic their team is.

Once any team that didn't finish with one of the 4 worst records ends up in a top 4 lottery spot it becomes impossible for them to get the 5th pick. So, the Sixers chances of getting the 5th pick were equivalent to the chances that the top 4 picks ALL go to the teams that had worse records than the Sixers. While each of them individually have a high chance of landing in the top 4, all of them simultaneously landing in the top 4 is much less likely. For simplicity's sake, liken it to a coin toss. While the probability of one of those coins individually landing on heads is 1/2. The chance of 4 coins all landing heads is only 1/16I went from work at a baseball game, to watching my son's soccer game. I had the lottery playing on youtubeTV on my phone. Pretty early on 2 teams jumped up and I could swear the telecast was saying the 6ers lost their pick. I turned it off in disgust.I read a few posts here a few minutes later, and saw someone complaining about commercials and thought- what am I missing that these guys are still watching?Turned it back on in time to see us still alive moving in to the top 4.Im not a quick mather, and I must have misheard my phone. What a pleasant surprise.

University of Utah fans aren't as bad, but it's the same thing with BYU football where they think they are hot crap and don't realize how pathetic their team is.They are basically stuck with Embiid unless either willing to sell super low or he can’t play anymore. I don’t think they do a trade cause they aren’t going to get anything worthwhile until he shows what he is or isn’t now. I’m guessing if he’s cooked and can’t play they’ll attempt to use the rule with his contract to get out of it.With PG likely also stick. Even though Morey said what he did I’m guessing they’d try but they aren’t going to have any takers unless giving up capital with him. The only time teams will really want Pg is when he’s an expiring contract in 27-28 season unless he just goes off next season.

What a pleasant surprise.You didn't mishear it. They definitely said on the telecast that the sixers lost their pick, and they didn't seem to notice when the Pelicans were announced as the 7th pick that the Sixers didn't get called, but then when the Wizards (I almost said Bullets, LOL) got called at 6 it finally dawned on them that meant that the sixers were in the top 4.
May 13May 13 Can’t wait to see Morey throw away this pick by trading it for some washed piece of garbage like he’s done every year since being here.That old grab "Stars” and it’ll work out era is dead. Have to start learning how to actually guild a team through home grown talent and supplement it with reliable - healthy veterans. Harden and PG have been worse deals than Horford & Tobias.
May 13May 13 If this is the case, then you wonder if Daryl can get an attractive trade down offer still wind up with a good player and get more picks.The NBA held its 2025 Draft Lottery in Chicago on Monday with the Dallas Mavericks winning the lottery with a 1.8 percent chance. The San Antonio Spurs moved up to No. 2 ahead of the Philadelphia 76ers at No. 3, and Charlotte Hornets at No. 4.Cooper Flagg is the presumptive No. 1 pick with Dylan Harper expected to be selected at No. 2. The draft is expected to open up considerably after the first two picks of the draft with a number of candidates vying for consideration at No. 3 and beyond.If, say someone is in love with Ace, and Daryl is very happy with Kon or Queen plus future picks.

May 13May 13 I dont know what this is from facebook, but it makes it look like Elton Brand is texting someone saying we didnt win, well before that was announced on TV out of the "sealed envelope" that happens "in a locked room" only witnessed by the accountants or whatever.

May 13May 13 Maxey, McCain, Bailey, Grimes, Edwards and Bona is a nice young core. Yabu probably isn’t coming back. He is a little too old for this group since we won’t be serious for at least 3 years.
