Hoping he will talk about the Afflalo deal at least.

Pretty freaking excited. I hope this season pains are rewarded tonight. Ah, yeah, fck the Cavs which shouldn't be at one to begin with.

I would be willing to take the risk on embiid, but there are so many good players in this draft, and the fact he is being steered away from us kind of bothers me

Woj, Amick both thinking Embiid goes 3...

This place is gonna explode if Embiid goes 3.

That time, yes. But he did go on to do well at the U-19 games.

A big key for Exum is that he appears to have intangibles. The maturity looks to be there which is huge.

: not made of physical substance : not able to be touched : not tangible

I hope I'm wrong, if we draft him.

Intangibles: The things that make Jordan, Bird, and Bill Russell all legendary players.
And no I am definitely not comparing Exum to any of those. Just saying intangibles play a big deal when you're evaluating players. Also, it is possible Smart has the better career. Exum probably has the higher ceiling, but Smart may be the overall better player. I trust our staff to make the right decision on that.

I agree I trust our staff to make the right decision.

I'd argue though that Jordan, Bird, Russell ect. are the opposite of intangibles. We have clear, concrete examples of their greatness.

Less than an hour now so I'm done. Sometimes I wonder if I'm arguing for arguments sake.

the way its looking the 76ers will chance it on embiid leaving orlando exum that would be awesome if we cant pull off any deals

[thelead]

Everyone is going to lose it if Exum is available and we take Vonleh

[LetItRain]

I think the Cavs just waved their pick out there as trade bait to waste everyones time, including ours. Gilbert trolling hard to counter the vitriol over them getting the #1 pick 2 years in a row.

It'll be worse than that time we traded Afflalo for The Fournicater and 56th pick

[MAGICian619]

Everyone is going to lose it if Exum is available and we take Vonleh

I just thought about that. I think I would faint.

[TreasureCoast]

Would not be surprised at all if Cavs take Embiid #1

[Rick Rolled]

Everyone is going to lose it if Exum is available and we take Vonleh

2005....

Not everyone

95% of the fan base will lose it if we draft Vonleh

[Showbiz Bear]

If Exum drops to us, but we take Vonleh, I'll riot.
