Lakers 2020 2nd.


I'm surprised it's not the top 55 protected fake 2nd. Here we go to find the next Shayock!


It will be in the 50's regardless.

I liked Ennis, not a great player, but tough and played hard. Kind of sad we couldn’t find someone to dump Mike Scott on instead.

He is probably a victim of the roster construction. I think on a more reasonably built team he can have some value.

Ennis' agent, Scott Nichols of Rize Management, told NBC Sports Philadelphia that Ennis wanted to stay in Philadelphia and "loved the organization," but that he didn't see a role for himself with the team's recent moves. The Sixers’ additions early Thursday morning of wings Alec Burks and Glenn Robinson III boosted the team’s depth at the position.

A team source noted to NBC Sports Philadelphia that the Sixers decided to move Ennis to give him a chance at a bigger role on another team, given he would not have played much with the Sixers in the context of the trade for Burks and Robinson, and the emergence of young players like Matisse Thybulle, Furkan Korkmaz and Shake Milton.

I liked Ennis. Always thought he was a good pick up. Just got caught in a numbers game. Shake Milton has developed to the point where he does everything Ennis can do, plus he can handle the ball. Ennis had no role, even before the trade.

Actually if you ask me which Center I want for my perfect championship caliber team, I will chose Asik hands down
