in fairness an iguodala deal does not have to be completed tomorrow to be done this offseason.

I wonder what would happen if by some freak accident Robinson is on the board at 7 (I know not really possible unelss it fall Davis Beal Barnes MKG Drummond Lillard).

Houston probably wouldn't be as interested anymore and would look towards Josh Smith at that point...

would we?

Luck is not in our favor tho or we'd trade up and take Henson.

All of my hype has been replaced with rage and depression

Tyler Zeller Future!!!

its entirely possible we dont do anything tomorrow.....just take best available at 15 and draft 2 guys in the 2nd......i am not gonna hype up something crazy will happen when its not a certainty. you could also see smaller stuff like combining both 2nds to get early in 2nd round or trying to buy a first. etc etc.

I do think Iguodala will be traded this offseason tho......but not necessarily tomorrow.

I would be content if we traded up a tad to get ross if no deal for 7 happened. I, like you, dont wanna just sit there and wait for pick 15. Its highly possible one of ross, lamb, terrence jones is there at 15..and of course sullinger who they checked out and think his back is not gonna be an issue.

i'd take him over leonard or Sullinger. But I would take Terrence Jones before him.

So they don't think sullingers back is an issue?

That's great. Don't see how u can pass on him at 15.

I just dont see how you draft sullinger without giving him a physical of your own. especially when the nba doctors red flagged him.

Eh...I wouldn't take Zeller over Leonard. He doesn't block shots.

he needs to stay at an optimal weight to be a legit PF conditioning wise. His drawback is really size and lack of athleticism which they kinda wanted in their next big man.

He does but he doesnt to the extent Leonard can. I wouldnt take either to be honest. Zeller can give you more offense right now. And is a good rebounder.

For any of you who like Meyers Leonard... go and watch his "highlight reel"... it's him getting a few boards, blocking a few shots and making a few off balance passes. Never once did I see a jump shot, a hook shot, anything offensive. I saw him get muscled out of the post by 6'3" guards multiple times. Tyler Zeller, although I don't like him much, is 10x better than Meyers Leonard. I don't think people realize just how awful Meyers Leonard is. MAYBE in 5 years he becomes half of a Tyson Chandler. MAYBE. If we draft him I don't know how I will be able to watch that. Like Spencer Hawes wasn't bad enough. I almost think Rod Thorn continually says he likes him just to get more interest in him for an earlier pick and hope someone takes him and not say a Terrance Ross or Jones or even Henson.

sixer fan, dont you feel that terrence jones is essentially a stronger thad young? im not saying hes not talented but he doesnt fill a real big need.

I'm getting more and more discouraged the more I read in the lead up to this draft. I'm starting to become convinced all the major players come back, Lou is replaced with Crawford, Hawes is replaced by drafting Leonard, and that's the team.

There was also a segment on CSN tonight with Dei Lynam interviewing Iguodala where he basically seemed completely unconcerned about any trade rumors and went on to talk about how he had good conversations with Josh Harris about Harris teaching him business related stuff for his post career.

If Harris loves Iguodala, and everyone already knows Doug loves Iguodala, I'm starting to become skeptical they wouldn't rather trade Turner.

Jones is a way better defender than Thad and bigger and longer (no homo). He is basically what we kinda hope Thad could be.

He can also legit start at PF...unlike Thad since he has a better jumper, handle and can not get sonned by Gibson and Bass.

I do agree if we take him maybe we should look to move Thad tho.

sixerfan1976 · Post #1418 » by **sixerfan1976** » Wed Jun 27, 2012 10:38 pm

i dont think they take leonard at all

i agree terrence jones isnt a great fit but they like him(i dont)

either turner or iguodala has to be traded. They have legit concerns about andre's achilles.

im liking terrence jones more and more.

Agreed. Especially the point that Jones is basically what we hoped Thad would become.
