4th/Young to Den for Chandler/7th/2nd pick (we get a starting 3, draft Mario to be the backup Wing give him time to develop)
4th/Young to Sac for 6th, future 1st, Sac 2nd (maybe to much from sac but they are moving up to a top 4 talent in a 4 talent draft)
these are the only 2 I could think of that would still put us in position to draft Mario and rid us of Young, i'm not a Young hater I just want more cap space to play with this off-season. Trading to lower pick also helps in that department.
If we keep the pick and those guys are gone, I say we call the Sixers about Embiid. I think he's making in known he wants out, and he's expressed interest in LA...
And I think their fans are deluded about his value... I think maybe Hill+4 could get it done, and I think he's better than the other C's in the draft.
that's ok by me but I really don't think that's possible at all, given how Noel has worked out for them after waiting out his injury can't really see Phi doing it with Embiid seeing as how he's supposedly even more talented than Noel.
I think Embiid is disgruntled and has no interest in competing with Noel for time or position. I think it's obvious that trying to play Noel and Embiid together is going to be awkward at best. I think the Embiid pick was a case of grabbing the best talent available, nothing more. I think they figured, they'd see which one worked best and try to trade the other... I think they've seen that now...
All this hype for Embiid coming from Philly is just window-dressing... They're trying to keep his value up while they see what happens in the draft... More specifically, whether or not they get our pick.
So if we keep the pick, and loose out on Okafor and Towns, and they fall to 5 or below with their's, I think it's kind of a match made in heaven. Because they're going to be lusting over pairing Noel with Mudiay or Russel.
That said, if their pick is higher than ours, and we keep ours, I think it makes it more likely Okafor or Towns falls to us, because they aren't going to pick either C.
