June 10, 20251 yr I’d probably ask for a 2028 first top 3 protected that if it doesn’t convert in 2028 that in 2029 it becomes unprotected if the pelicans just absolutely love Bailey and the Sixers don’t love anyone at 3. Imo I’d love to get Trey Murphy. I think he can be a building block as he’s only 24. I also don’t mind moving to 7 depending on who’s there. I’d do this deal if the pelicans offered itTbh i could totally see the Sixers going Tre Johnson at 3 and fans losing their minds about it.

Justin Edwards is 3 years younger, the same size and has a higher ceiling….for $23 million dollars less a year.

Justin Edwards is 3 years younger, the same size and has a higher ceiling….for $23 million dollars less a year.I like Justin Edwards but I think you’re putting a lot of eggs in the basket thinking Edwards is going to reach what Murphy did this past year. Murphy averaged 21-5-3.5 last year and 38.3% from 3 in his career. Add on if Edwards becomes as good as Murphy then I can always trade Murphy because he’s going to have good value as he’s still young and decent contractTbh I’d love to have Maxey, Murphy, 7th overall pick and that player you see with Edwards all be starters and bring McCain off the bench as our 6th man. Especially if we somehow got the clippers, our pick and pelicans in 2028.
June 10, 20251 yr Im not in love with trading with the Pelicans. Moving down to 7 feels to far.If you do it, you HAVE to be getting Trey Murphy or else theres no redeeming quality about that trade at all.You might even want to have a PG for Zion bad contract swap just to put some perceived upside in there to sweeten the deal, even if the upside is never realized.At 7, who are we drafting? I guess my preference would be for Maluach there.I kinda like a trade to 5 with the Jazz better for Lauri, and draft Kon. The shooting with Maxey, McCain, Kon, and Lauri would be superb.

I think the extra picks/swaps comes in handy down the road in team building. especially if you aren’t in love with anyone at 3 and have guys from 3-8 ranked similarly

You are probably right, I love over-rating our guys! Maybe Edwards is Ricky Council’ing me 😂
June 11, 20251 yr Tre Johnson is the 2nd best player in the draft. Elite shooter with great quickness.

June 11, 20251 yr It would be incredibly idiotic to let teams know you like VJ at 3. So anyone who wanted to trade up for Acy now knows they dont need to.I certainly hope VJ is only an option if they trade down to like 5.
June 11, 20251 yr 3 hours ago, ToastJenkins said:Doesnt he play no defense?Understatement is he plays no defense. His analytics were god awful on that end. He’s a really good shooter and has a high ceiling offensive upside. Like really good. If you get him to be an average defender and his offensive game translates he has a chance to be the best player taken from 3-10 range. However there’s a chance his defense never comes around and his offense is good. Which then he’d basically be like cam Thomas.
June 11, 20251 yr Not going to lie feels like the VJ stuff being out out there was done for a reason. I don’t think they’d leak this out unintentionally which makes me feel Like it may be a misdirection or increase value of 3rd pick. Maybe if they show they love VJ that much then they want that much more value for 3rd pick and that a team like pelicans who love Bailey knows the hornets would take him at 4 they’ll have to give up more to make the Sixers move off it. Also
June 11, 20251 yr Or run double big with Embiid and Maluach. Embiid can pick and pop while Maluach can be the rim runner.

Justin Edwards is 3 years younger, the same size and has a higher ceiling….for $23 million dollars less a year.Trey Murphy is everything this teams and still able to pick another awesome player with the #7 pick. That is a win trade. Maluach will probably be there at 7. The 2nd half of last year for Murphy was borderline All Star and he is Controllable until '29 at 29 a year.
June 11, 20251 yr Why did Rutgers miss the tourney and basically stink the entire season with 2 top talents? I guess I'm haunted by the ghost of Ben Simmons but I'm wary of guys on teams like that.
