man there are so many ways this thing could go.


Henson and Sullinger?


their skill sets matchup but its really hte same position. Henson is not a center.

few things happening today that i think are interesting.

We are meeting with Jeremy Lamb(wasnt told workout, was told meeting) and we are still talking aggressively with GSW but are looking for a third team to trade Richard Jefferson or Biedrins too to maybe do a three way deal for #7.

also told if we dont trade iguodala tonight...we would aggressively pursue an iguodala for gasol, jefferson or josh smith after draft.

He won't be there at 15.


oh believe me i am happy about that.......I just hope we dont consider him if he is.

barring a drop down from a guy expected to go much higher...

i think terrence ross is the pick if he is there.
if not....terrence jones......
they are doing alot of homework on jared sullinger right now...so possible he is kinda 2a/2b with t.jones right now.

This is all assuming there is no trade up.

If we do not trade to GSW or TOR....I think we may try and get to 11 or 12 if a guy like henson falls.....

this draft could go one of many ways...really hard to predict.

There are also those in Front Office who if we trade up to 7 or 8 want Waiters over a big man and grab a big man at 15 if we kept the pick.

But assuming no trade up...and no major drop...I think Ross will be gone and we go for Terrence Jones or Sullinger.

Do you think if the iguodala trade fizzles, we will go after Rivers and do a small trade up to get him?


possible but i think they like ross slightly more last i heard. But they have them both rated very close.

Austin projects as their new Lou where ross could be a starter.

sixerfan1976 wrote:Yeah i really feel like they are after henson more so than drummond. Gsw and toronto the targets in a tradeup. They want to keep fifteen in either scenario. Ross or rivers is the 15 target and would trade up again to nab one potentially. Gonna be active draft, i am excited

I really think they are trying to get the Andre thing sorted quickly so they know what their needs are in the draft.

They seem to think that lavoy and Nik are going to be top reserves for them. I do not see either starter unless depth was depleted by a major trade.

Getting a sense that Turner is staying but things are everchanging.

You guys dont like it..but I hear kris Humphries will be one of the first calls on july 1. They of course will call Deron......but do not see that going anywhere.



sixerfan1976 wrote:Iguodala is the one going........

If we grab Ross or Waiters or Beal(longshot), Turner slides to SF

Thats how its gonna shake out..........if we trade Andre for a big man.

Those are the reports (about ET), but I'm dubious. We'll see for real half-way through next season.

theres a guy named Facts in the draft thread who said he had inside info... a day or 2 ago he said that white is a lock to the celtics, and just today it came out that the celtics supposedly gave him a promise

so far he sounds like he might be legit

Turner at SF even if we get Ross? That's surprising.

Because somehow the positions written next to their names on paper will change how they play on the court?

Isn't he the guy who listed 20 players and said that was who the sixers were looking at? Great info ....

Do you think they would still go after Humphries if they draft a PF? I want no part of Kris Humphries. Save cap space and go after better bigs next year in FA.

Henson would have to be a trade up, but would definitely fit a need.

So its pretty much set in stone that their amnestying Elton Brand? And do they have mutliple suitors for Iguodala's services at this point?

I think the 6ers should definitely work on trying to get an additional 1st rd pick in this years draft. Draft looks strong from top to bottom imo.

Yes, I dont want to throw big long term money at Humphries although I do like some parts of his game and he's definitely a Philly style player. Its looking more and more like the Sixers will grab a wingman in this years draft. Especially since Iggy seems a lock to be moved.

It's not like the Sixers are only gonna look at 3 guys in the draft, of course they're gonna have a bunch of targets.

That's good news. The sooner the better as far as an Iggy trade goes. And neither Allen or Vuc is ready to start.

That raptor trade is interesting if you get Henson there maybe..and Ross or Rivers at 15. Plus you added Calderon as well perhaps and maybe Ed Davis? Then you can amnesty Brand for a starting PF or C.

Last I heard tho..Toronto wanted 15 in the deal and the sixers werent real interested in moving to 8 if they had to give 15.

Its crazy....because I do not know what they would do if they moved to 8 and say Waiters and Henson were both there. So many different possibilities. i truly do not know what they are going to do.

It's not out of the question that Waiters, Rivers, Ross and Henson are all gone by pick 15...thoughts on who else would be in the mix or do you think they trade down (or move 15 for a vet) if that scenario plays out?

Thats where i think this weekends workouts come into play........maybe they look at someone that dropped liked Zeller or Leonard there. I know they are going to do their due dilligence on Sullinger's back.

A trade down is certainly possible tho...or a trade out of the round entirely.

Teague was in today in case they traded down to later in first.

What about Quincy Miller if they moved down? I know they worked him out last week on the same day Ross was here. Any feedback on what they thought of him?
