OT: Philadelphia 76ers (NBA): This Furkan Team

[King Forsberg]

Orlando. In the Saric/Payton deal. Originally our pick given up in the Bynum trade.

Ahh that's right. Thanks.

That Bynum trade still ticks me off. Thank goodness Hinkie recouped all those wasted picks from previous management regimes.

I look at it like this, if it didn't happen, we might not be set up like we are today.

I completely agree. I just get agitated when I realize how bad the previous GMs. Still amazed at how Hinkie managed to recoup all the picks and get additional assets.

Doug Collins was a nitwit coach and GM.

Yeah funny how that works sometimes....lots about life is timing and luck. However, Hinkie orchestrated a coup thus far.. it took guts to do what he did. Very good calculated risk..

Sam dekker is looking like he would be a great pick with the Miami pick.

He was a hot name before Kaminsky kind of overshadowed him during last year's run.

 

[Sniped]

I like Sam Dekker with the Heat pick as well.

How do you guys feel about Kris Dunn or Jerian Grant with the Heat pick if for some reason Russell and Mudiay are gone?

Noel gonna be playing PF tonight. Prepping for next year when Embiid is here it appears.

 

[Tim Tebow]

I didn't see the game but wow. The Cavs gave all their stars big minutes on home court, Robinson didn't play, and Furkan got 27 minutes.... yet the Sixers only lost by 1 point?

 

[FLYguy3911]

Looks like they took the 2nd half off.

Noel gonna be playing PF tonight. Prepping for next year when Embiid is here it appears.

I had read they would try them at both positions and could literally just flip flop them from offense to defense to suit the stronger ones strength. So on offense Embiid would play C and Nerlens would play PF while on defense Nerlens would take C and Embiid would take PF. As well as tried vise versa. Embiid himself could also simply fall into the PF role as he has a decent jump shot and his NBA comparisons are listed as Tim Duncan and Akeem Olajuwan

 

[FLYguy3911]

I just worry between the foot and added weight, Embiid might not be able to move as well on the perimeter guarding stretch 4s. Noel can hang out there, but you want him near the rim.
