Poll Both yes!

Develop more now since starters not healthy then pick 10-12 games in March / April to play starter for next year if BI ready?

This will give you best view into next year. As it stands NOW I would try and move RJ for Coby White and Jalen Smith. Not sure all the value on that move if picks needed either way? Maybe Lonzo Ball and Jalen Smith where I would want draft assets back.
RJ is still young to pair with Matas Buzelis and we have lower cost development options at SG.
If IQ continues to be on IR then we can move off him and White could run team however, you will have to increase his pay. Current is $12 mil.

There IS no playoff push to be had. Right now, we've got a 0.2% chance. We're 5 1/2 games behind the Bulls for the last spot with 30 games to go, but the Sixers - now with Embiid - are only 1 game behind the Bulls for the last spot. Not gonna happen. Not even worth considering.

Raps traded away our defensive force who was winning us games. We have exactly ZERO NBA centres worthy of the name in playable condition. The Nets kept the two Cams (because there weren't many first round picks to be had from contenders). We're in perfect position to seize the five spot going into the lottery with a 10.5% chance at Flagg and 42% at moving into the top 4. Let's do this!
