I'm fine with trading down but you cant get 3 picks for the 23rd

We can probably trade Cojo for picks but not knowing the Lowry situation makes it a gamble

CoJo has 1 year left before his player option. Would anyone here want to give him $15 million, no thanks. Same for Bebe who is nearing the end of his rookie contract.

I would trade CoJo, Bebe and Carroll for whatever picks they can get.

Best case is CoJo = late 1st, Bebe early 2nd and Carroll end of the 2nd. Would settle for CoJo = 30-35, Bebe = 35-40 and Carroll = option to swap 2nds or protected 56-60 or don't have to send one. Then you grab Justin Jackson (Maryland), Jordan Bell, Jawun Evans and whatevs.

PG Wright - FVV/Evans
SG Derozan - Powell
SF Tucker - Powell - Jackson
PF Siakam - Bruno/Bell
C Valaciunas - Poeltl

The defense feels so much better with this group. 45-48 wins.

Agree. Bebe needs to get stable mentally before he goes anywhere. Waste of a roster spot

He whines so much and grabby on defense. He's like the anti-Amir.

Bring VC and Amir back!

Would Amir do a 2 year deal total of $20 million? VC 1 year deal of $3 million.

There's barely any shooting on that roster more like 30-35 wins. Sorry man you gotta consider fit into these things. We also really need a new offense but that's a different topic.

We won the tie and will be 23rd. Maybe we'll get some luck this year.

Clippers won it. We got 25 but magic got the lowest of the first round picks so they get our first round pick

Willing to bet Masai is looking for another Hail Mary like Diallo, Ferguson or Giles. In the unlikely event KL bolts he would find a replacement and still trade Joseph as now is the time salary implication wise.

My favourite player in this draft is Donovan Mitchell. Would love to assemble the appropriate package to land him.

Sad that we at one time had 36 and 54.

They are going to run and gun. Only shoot the corner 3!

Divisions mean jack **** now. Celtics, Sixers or Knicks getting top 3 pick is no different than a east team gets it

Honestly I'm pulling for 76ers to land a 1st and 4th overall pick. At this point I just want to see the league burn

They'll just end up the new Warriors in a couple years with all these lottery picks.

Wouldn't mind Sixers draft fueltz or ball first then Lowry loses ton of leverage in free agency and if we do bring him back it's cheaper

Are you guys forgetting that Bryan Colangelo is their GM?
