After the ratings for tomorrow night bomb, they'll change it back to one day. No one's tuning in to watch tomorrow night.

I think we should draft Ace, that´s all i have to say right now.

I think I'd rather risk Ace busting than taking the "safe"' pick in VJ. A "safe" pick who, btw, Fultz'd his team meeting. And thinks he's a PG. Haven't we done all this before?? Just say no.

If he makes no trades; Morey really is spineless, stupid, or both.

BKN has 5 1sts they cannot possibly use AND your 2028 (albeit protected) 2028 1st! This shouldn't be rocket science.

At 8, Maluach and Essengue and one of KJ/Kon will all be there.

At 19, Rasheer Fleming would look nice at the 4 on this team.

Or maybe you incorporate PG for Cam and/or Nic (speedy) Claxton into the deal.

Instead, we bring him to Philly and he turns into a massive bust. Thankfully, I don’t think Morey takes the bait on that one.

Never going to happen

I hope not - I’ll be genuinely rooting for the kid wherever he lands. But the basketball gods will make it so if he’s in Philly lol

The funny thing is that i cant even see a scenario that Ace busts. His floor is pretty high. At worst he will be a decent 3&D who has some iso juice shooting mid range jumpers. He may not be an allstar and there´s a good chance he´s a knucklehead, but i dont think he will be a bust, so he´s a safe pick in a way with a lot of untapped potential. Of course that there´s the risk that he doesnt want to play for us, but i think that´s a bluff. You cant bend to his will like that.

Wait I didn't even realize this lol

He will be whatever Fultz ended up being. I think that's a bust.

Hoping for a trade up for Harper still. If not, since I don't love any non Flagg/Harper player in this draft, nothing would make me elated and nothing would make me hate it. Well, of the VJ, Ace, Tre, Kon names. I would hate it if the Sixers traded down, didn't get very much, and took Maluach or something. But for the most commonly discussed names, none would highly disappoint me or make me elated.

If the Sixers were somehow able to trade down and come away with Tre and Queen or Tre and CMB and also net a future pick, I'd be pretty elated. But I find that pretty unlikely.

Cool! What a well thought out opinion you just shared with us! Are you at a Buffalo Wild Wings eating cheese sticks right now? I mean how on earth did you come up with such a Socrates level of philosophical brilliance?

I can’t wait for us to trade back with Brooklyn and take Derik Queen. That’s going to be so sick
