I personally think those are his only bad moves. The Celtics got Derrick White for a FRP, we got Melton for him to sh*t the bed against the Celtics. Bad trade.
always a jump shot away.

What dedication! ACE is in play at #3!


At the 2025 NBA Combine, Ace Bailey weighed 202.8 pounds.

Added 12-17 lbs of muscle since the combine.
Imagine what a diet of Philly Cheese Steaks and Shirley Temples could do.

Yet more proof of Ace's hard work and dedication to his craft. Those are the intangibles of a winner.

You might gain 15-20lbs by tomorrow with all the propaganda you’re consuming.

Kristaps in ATL is pretty interesting, they will be a fun league pass team.

I also get the logic of the Jrue trade to Portland, he’s a perfect mentor for Scoot.

They got him for Josh Richardson (who was still seen as good at the time), Romeo Langford, and it was 2 firsts.

Unfortunately I haven't been working out as hard as Ace recently.

It was one first and a useless swap.

Josh Richardson was cheeks, and you as a Sixers fan should know that.

Bailey says he's added 15 pounds? Of muscle? Since the combine in May. I'm sorry, but NO FKIN WAY! Not a chance in hell he's done that.

Again at the time people still thought he was good and regardless it was more than just a first round pick like you said it was.

and regardless trade a late first in a weak draft for Melton who was a young guy in is prime is just never going to be a bad trade which is my main point. He was a damn good starter for us most of his tenure here.

Ace Bailey at a ROCKED UP 220 lbs. is a problem for any opposing D!

Niang + 2nd rounder + $23m of cap/tax space. The last item is the most important.

Unlike Ace who has been hard at work improving his body... this guy continues to pound the Big Macs!

If you squint, you can see hulking stretch marks.

The Nets gaining a 5th FRP in this draft almost guarantees their likelihood in trading up. The question is to what team and for who?

#2 - SAS: I don't think BKN has enough assets to get SAS to move off from drafting Harper.

#3 - PHI: Depending on the offer, I could see Morey taking #8 and #19 while off loading a contract or two (Gordon/Drummond).

I don't think Charlotte or Utah would have any interest in trading back, which also increases our chances of being the trade partner.

Washington was rumored to want to trade up and already has the 18th. They aren't going to trade back with #6, again increasing our chances of being the trade partner.

If I'm Daryl, I'm trying to put Washington and Brooklyn in a bidding war for #3.
