May 12, 20251 yr Ok...while the #1 would have been great, they actually keep their pick (which I thought for sure wasn't going to happen) and end up with the #3 pick....all in all, we should be thankful the tank gods and NBA commissioner didn't screw us.
May 12, 20251 yr Now seems like the ideal time to trade #3 & a future first for #1. Feels like a no brainer…Hopefully the Mavericks really want Ace Bailey.

Could you imagine if Nico dealt Luka then traded the pick for Flagg lol

May 12, 20251 yr I can't tell you how happy I am the Jazz got screwed. I hate that ownership and can't stand their fans.

I really wouldn’t be surprised if they try to use it to acquire giannis. Sam Amico put out there today that giannis is intrigued by playing for a team with no state tax which is mostly likely Miami or a Texas team. Likely gonna wind up with either Bailey or Harper. if Harper falls to 3 then you have maxey, McClain, Harper and grimes if they sign him back. Tbh Bailey is the guy they hope falls

May 12, 20251 yr Could have been much worse. Flagg would have been a godsend but Harper or Bailey will be an alright consolation prize.
May 12, 20251 yr 3 minutes ago, Diehardfan said:Just seemed off to me.WIthout getting too mathy about it, it is because the only way that they could get the 5th pick is if ALL of the top 4 picks went to the teams that finished with the 4 worst records. 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 1/16

May 12, 20251 yr 5 minutes ago, Diehardfan said:If DM doesn't trade it for an aging vetImo the only way they should deal that pick is if they are getting giannis. Which means you likely deal 3, clippers future first, your picks you can deal and swaps. Likely losing McCain. Even then likely don’t have the package to beat other teams and he probably doesn’t want to come here.

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.
May 13, 20251 yr 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.

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.
