I wouldn't hate this for the Wolves but I think I'd rather make the pick at 7 if I had to choose

Probably too light for the Bulls, would be great for us imho.

Is there anyone on this list that you WOULD NOT draft if he were the odd man out of the Top 6?

If so, I think trading No. 7 should be seriously considered. If not, go ahead and wait for whoever falls.

I think any of those guys would be great. The only significant difference between #3 and #7 is going to be that #7 doesn't get to pick the player who fits the team the best. All that means is that the Wolves might need to make an additional move to balance the roster.

That's a great haul for Butler, I can't see the Bulls balking at that offer

Yup, I'd be extremely surprised if the Bulls could get an offer that good. Name me another trade where a team got that many good draft picks for trading a star.

Isn't that just because young stars on good contracts aren't traded?

This. Biid has played 31g in 3 seasons. Ben missed his entire rookie year and his greatest strength (playmaking) is no longer as valuable w Fultz at point.

Going all the way back to 2017 there was the Cousins trade.

A freak injury with no prior injury history makes you injury prone? So if Kat suffers a random season ending Injury from stepping on someone's toe, he'll be injury prone? Come on son, stop people are adding Ben Simmons into the injury prone talk because it makes them feel better about downplaying what the Sixers could potentially build. Now I'll give you Embiid but at this point even without Embiid the 76ers are set up pretty good. The days of Noel and Okafor being our back up plans are long gone.

So because two players are good at the same skill, it cancels out their value... Makes sense.

I suppose we should consider him breaking his foot a good thing.

Swish4 · Post #1716 » by **Swish4** » Mon Jun 19, 2017 2:52 am

Am I crazy for thinking Kevin Love would be a good fit here? Proven scorer, rebounder, great outlet passes to our young athletes on the break, winning experience and leadership. Might even want to come back seeing the new talent here. Maybe as a third team in a Carmelo Anthony or Paul George trade?

Doesn't the team need defensive help on the interior?

Never said it was a good thing. But to act like there's a dark cloud hanging over him and the 76ers because of a freak injury is pushing it a bit.

The hope has to be Orlando takes Smith or Monk.
