[The Madrigal]

khyri thomas traded to detroit, damn i wanted them to keep that pick.

 

[Embiid]

Bonga …...draft and stash

Woj already bombed that one. 39's ticketed for the Lakers.

 

[Jtown]

Check nbcsp Facebook. Just furious .

is that simmons in the background? get that man a bball

 

[BigToe]

if you get him you probably get lebron. not stupid at all.

Giving up all those assets just so he can walk in FA? Makes no sense.

 

[Jtown]

i

Bonga …...draft and stash

think that is the lakers pick

 

[The Madrigal]

i

think that is the lakers pick

yep, was reported yesterday.

 

[Jtown]

thomas is being traded to detroit. damn.

 

[The Madrigal]

97.5 speculating that bradley beal or kemba walker could be the backup plan to leonard.

 

[Rebels57]

So don’t know much about him but... from what I read he still has a lot of work shooting wise. Super atheletic but can’t shoot

So he will fit right in. Who needs shooters?

 

[gertbfrobe16]

so what is your issue?

my issue is to much drafting to stock the g league team and getting more bench warmers and not getting players that will improve the team unless they can trade them. at this point no one they drafted will improve the team and they are drafting people for development and getting a draft pick 3 years away instead of players that can help now. i hope this works out but it could back fire big time

 

[Embiid]

i

think that is the lakers pick

ahhh….my bad

 

[ponder719]

And we have kind of a report on the deal. David Aldridge is calling the return for Thomas 2 future seconds.

 

[The Madrigal]

it might take zhaire smith some time to see significant minutes but he wont play a minute in the g league unless he is a total bust. i dont like the moves but i see it and i think some are getting way too emotional over it because bridges is a philly/villanova kid. time will tell, i am keeping an open mind, especially after hearing bb talk.

there is a learning curve regardless of age when entering the nba. Most first round picks struggle. We are not obligated to win now, and draft players with limited upside because our window is closing. In fact quite teh oppostie. We have a very young roster where we can take gambles on young guys to see how they will pan out. Much like The Thunder did with so many players, much like the spurs did. When they drated parker and ginobili they didn't come over for years. They were patient, and their patience was rewarded . You always draft the guys you think will be the superior player down the road and there is no question Smith has higher upside. I hope you realize today was a great day man. THe sixers killed this draft

first the smith trade, now this. If that isn't code for Hinkie is back then I don't know what is.

 

[ponder719]

OK, so we come into the draft with 10/26/38/39/56/60.

We now have Zhaire Smith, Landry Shamet, 56, 60, 2019 CHI #2 (from the Lakers), probably 2019 DET #2, 2021 DET #2 (the next 2 #2s they have), 2021 MIA #1 unprotected, and cash.

I think it's safe to say that Brett Brown's entirely comfortable taking the long view as well as the short one. That's rare in a coach.

 

[JojoTheWhale]

Oh hell, they let Morey have him. That’s talent and fit. He’s perfect for Paul/Harden.

 

[The Madrigal]

bb traded the 38th pick for two future second round picks, 39 for a future second and cash, and he also traded bridges for smith and a future unprotected first round pick. am i the only one expecting sam hinkie to walk out for a pc tonight like this..

The NBA is pretty much guaranteed slot money for 1st round picks by moving down the Sixers saved themselves some capspace and got an asset to work with to boot. I don't see the cheap bastard Harris paying luxury tax yet, it's all about ROI for the Appollo Capital Management partner, this move is fits in well with his business model. Anyhow, something has got to be in the works, we'll find out soon enough.

i'm intrested to see who this big star that they are going to get here is and if someone is willing to come here and take a back seat to embid and simmons. or if embid or simmons are willing to take a back seat for the big star.
