OT: Philadelphia 76ers (NBA)

[FLYguy3911]

Aldridge going for second visit to LA.
Phoenix just cleared a bunch of cap space to make room for him.
Miami a darkhorse to land him.

Been stuck at work all day. Great trade by Hinkie, considering we gave up next to nothing to get a player Hinkie had wanted from last year's draft; PLUS some other goodies.

 

[TheSchmidt]

The pick swaps are basically more free ping pong balls for the first overall pick. Can't see Sacramento being worse than Philly this year (unless they do nothing with that cap space). But 2017 could be interesting. That's the year I could see Hinkie striking for his superstar player or two, if available.

My 15 player roster as it stands now

PF/C: Embiid, Noel, Okafor, Thompson, Landry

Wings: Covington, Grant, Sampson, McRae, Stauskas, Thompson

PG: Smith, Jackson, Wroten, Cannan

Think Tokoto and Holmes go overseas or Dleague to see what McRae and Jackson have

 

[Sniped]

Poor Portland. Went from being a contender to losing 4/5 starters, all except Lillard.

Aldridge said he was signing with the spurs, why would he go to LA again?

Aldridge is a spur its all accross the bottom ticker on many networks.

I'd rather have Cory Joseph.

I'd rather just finish Portland off and take Lillard

 

[TheWolfOfBroadStreet]

I live in Portland now and I feel so bad for them. Aminu and Ed Davis are there big FA signings ....ouch

You would think they would have maybe traded him instead of signing him to that huge deal. They're gonna be a mediocre team in the NBA and a bottom dweller in the west.

Yeah, they have lost a ton of talent over the years. 4 starters this summer, Oden, Roy.

 

[PHILOUDELPHIA]

Sixers vs Spurs Monday 7pm TCN

 

[FlyerFire]

Why is it taking so long to announce the Stauskas trade?

No signings or trades can be finalized until the 9th. Just some bull **** rule the NBA has.

Thank you

 

[FlyTimmo]

Embiid is huge.

 

[sa cyred]

Starters for Utah

McConnell, McRae, Grant, Aldemir, and Okafor.

Seems like McConnell has been getting some praise. Some think if Wroten isnt ready, he has a chance to start.

 

[Hiesenberg]

One of the writers for the Sixers said that Embiid came into summer camp jacked.

Looks like it, he makes Okafur look average.

 

[DrinkFightFlyers]

Embiid is huge.

Holy crap. Okafor looks like a little kid in comparison! I hope he is healthy this year and I don't even like basketball.

 

[Schwarbomb]

Yeah, Embiid is much bigger and a far superior athlete. All I want is a little luck for Philly once to keep that kid healthy.

 

[Tankadelphia]

good point that no matter what, the sixers will have 3 lottery picks starting for them next year

 

[DrinkFightFlyers]

So, is this the last tank year? Next year we have (presumably) completely healthy Embid, Okafor, Noel, Saric, Stauskus, Sixers (lottery pick), Lakers pick 4+, Heat pick 10+ OKC pick 16+? They gotta come away with a SG/PG from those picks, no?

The Sixers despite the addition of Okafor, Stauskus, and "crosses fingers" a healthy Joel Embiid still don't project to be any better than the 5-6 pick in the NBA draft.

The Lakers with the addition of Hibert and Williams have improved enough that they shouldn't be bottom 3.

The heat have a good starting 5 and they play in the East so that pick is most likely gonna be in the 22-16 range unless injuries strike.

With a healthy Durant the OKC pick is gonna be 24-30.

A really good case for next years draft would be:

#1 (Simmons)
#5 (Ingram)
#15 (PG)
#25 (SG)

I get that they may not be good, but I don't think its "tanking" anymore.

They have a legit 5 & 4 & 2.

1 & 3 are questionable, I think they win 25-30 games this year.
