One of the best things I have heard recently. Lou is going to go for the $$ IMO so I pray he prices himself out of the Sixers range. There's a TON of decent combo guards out there you can use to replace Lou. Or just get a more conventional PG and SG to use off the bench.

What you or I or any ahrdcore fan think they should do is irrelevant, what the FO and ownership group will do is what matters. I just don't see them committing to a major rebuild, which is what grabbing Drummond for Iggy would be. Remember, Drummond really didn't even contribute all that much at the college level last year and is very young. If they were going young, they should do it all the way, but they won't.
Waiters? Not a fan and wouldn't trade up for him.
I'd be fine with Ross, Leonard (probably gone) or Moultrie at 15. Solid picks in a spot where you try to get a solid player.

we would have an AWFUL perimeter defense with no rim protectors to boot....
atleast if we got ross he would probably slide rite into the starting SF role since he can hit 3's allowing turner to stay at SG... that makes more sense..
austin rivers makes no sense for this team unless he is just literally taking over lou's spot... and im not comfortable drafting a 6th man with the 15th pick

Bro. What the heck do you expect from a #15 pick? If you get a 6th man you should be happy.
People's minds are delusional if they think we're getting a superstar starter at 15. It won't happen.
There's people who arent even in the league that have been picked at 15. You take a swing at the highest potential there and hope it goes over the fence.

He is better than Meeks and i still think they bring him back unfortunately(he is a doug guy, whatever that is)

Sounds like a Nick Young, JR Smith mold SG to me. Am I correct on that, or does the eye test tell you guys different?

But he can't dribble or handle the rock in any way or fashion so scratch Young and Smith off the comparison list (both excellent ball handlers).

To me Austin Rivers makes alot of sense if you know Lou is going to opt out. But I prefer Ross....I actually prefer Waiters to ross and Beal to Waiters(as so does the draft board) but I do not think they can get up to Beal territory. But I think they would be really really happy if Ross was at 15 and no trade was made.

if ross is there... do they plan on a jrue/turner/ross backcourt?
ross seems to almost have more SG size than SF size due to a lack of arm length... but i suppose can play SF as well

Which fits well playing with Jrue and turner who want the ball in their hands.
The Sixer Fixer wrote:My head hurts from thinking of all the different combinations of things we might do this off-season.
We can trade Iguodala for...
1. Al Jefferson
2. Rudy Gay
3. Pau Gasol
4. #7, D. Wright and a big contract
5. #8, Calderon and Ed Davis (thought reports are Toronto wouldn't give up Davis)
6. No one, he stays are we get ready to speculate on trades for him 1 year from now.
At think point, I don't even know which of those possibilities I like anymore. Wasn't a fan of Al Jeff, but that's growing on me some. Gasol, I'm not real interested in that, but it's more because of his contract than his age. The picks I would only do if we are moving up for Drummond. If he's gone, just keep Iguodala (or do the veteran for veteran swap) and take BPA at 15.

sixerfan1976 wrote:good summary but we have no interest in the golden state deal because of jefferson or biedrins we do not want.
Ed Davis isnt a have to have by any means...but he has a lil upside.
Dont think Rudy Gay is viable. But I would do that if it was. I really think at this point, on June 11, one of 1, 3 or 5(in some variation) will happen. But I think its fun to have your head spinning at all the possibilities. Usually they dont have flexibility.

Ring chase mode? Uh, why?...he has a ring. I don't see him as a guy who's just going to take less $$ and a reduced role just to win games.
