I could use a link to this game at 7:00 if anyone has it. Don't have NBATV this time around.

the team was close to paying the fee to bring him over, but it was to high price. So he has to finish this year out and he can be on the team next year.

I wonder what the price as and what sixers offered.

It wasn't necessarily that it was "too high of a price" but rather we could only pay $1M towards it and he would have had to pay the additional ~$1.5M

That's alright, let Saric develop, we have plenty of forwards.

Given next years early player draft rankings and the Sixers likely landing a top 5 pick between their own pick, the Lakers and the Kings picks it seems likely they will end up with a SF with that pick.

Basically Saric as well as one of Noel, Embiid, or Okafor will likely be coming off the bench 6th man depth type players.

This roster is starting to show it may have some pretty crazy depth.

Some solid tweets about our shooters. If only Hollis could play better D, he'd be a solid "3&D" player.

That's based off of pretty far projections at this point. Heck, people had Stanley Johnson as a top 3 pick at this time last year. With all of the draft picks, don't count out the idea of them trading for a young, proven point guard as well.

A guy Ty Lawson could certainly be available for a mid-late lottery pick and a 2nd + bench player. He's 27 and his team is on the decline. Still young enough to play for a while but experienced enough to get the best out of the rest of the team and certainly talented enough.

The Suns also have Brandon Knight and Eric Bledsoe. Knight is 23, Bledsoe is 25. I'm sure either would be available for the right price and given our horde of picks, we could certainly score a guy like that. Make a move for a guy like Knight and then take a pure scorer with either ours or the Lakers pick.

76ers trade 2016 first round pick (Sixers/Kings or Lakers, whichever is worse) + 2nd round pick + Hollis Thompson/Jakarr Sampson/Jerami Grant (whatever they prefer) to the Suns for Brandon Knight or Eric Bledsoe (preferably Knight)

With our first pick (Sixers/Kings or Lakers, whichever is better) we select the back court scorer that we can find.

Knight -- Wroten/Whoever
Stauskas -- 2016 Top 5 pick -- Whoever is left
Saric -- Covington
Okafor -- Holmes
Embiid -- Noel

That's a pretty solid lineup. You've got a nice scorer in there as Wroten. Great shooter off the bench in Covington. Great front court depth
