The Vonleh love scares me. I didn't see as much of him as it seems some did, but 3-4 seems really high. Can anybody give me some reason to feel better about the possibility? Not against it necessarily...just don't get the love affair

I wonder if Utah could be doing the Sixers a favor by paying a lot to get the #1 from Cleveland.

Jazz take Parker, Bucks take Exum, Sixers take Wiggins?

I think if Wiggins goes #1 the Bucks take Parker, but I'm not sure of the reverse.

I think the Bucks will take whoever the Cavs don't take. The owner pretty much said it today and I don't think he was smokescreening. They probably like Exum, just not enough to take him over Wiggins/Parker and regret it if Wiggins or Parker become stars.

The reality is we are gonna have to get up to #1 to take Wiggins. We'll see how much Hinkie wants him by draft night.

If Utah take Parker Wiggins is goin to the bucs

The Bucks will struggled to develop Wiggins, imo. With Giannis force-fed as their SF of the future, Wiggins is gonna have to fasttrack his development as a guard. He'd be best off easing into the league as a slashing forward.

I've wanted him at 10 since last winter

Which pair would you choose?

Andrew Wiggins & Doug McDermott
Marcus Smart & Noah Vonleh
Dante Exum & Julius Randle
Joel Embiid & Nik Stauskas

LongLiveHinkie · Post #3569 » by **LongLiveHinkie** » Tue Jun 24, 2014 3:34 am

Wiggins and McDermott.

Exum & Randle

Anyone else feel like we are coming out of this draft with Wiggins, and without giving up much (or possibly having him just slip)? I for some reason just have a really good feeling about it. Like maybe Cleveland is still enamored with Embiid, and they know for sure they can get him at 3, but are scared of us taking him if they moved back any further. Or that they end up settling on Parker, and that the Bucks go the Exum route.

I've said Wiggins to the Sixers is destiny for months, but who the hell knows. His dad played here, he wants to be here, the Sixers want him. Seems like a perfect fit to me.

Sometimes things just "work out" but we'll see.

Of the pairings, this is the best one, followed by Exum/Randle.

Only 59 hours until the draft!!

Or...

Only 3,551 minutes until the draft!!

Or...

Only 213,060 seconds until the draft!!

Start counting down already! Wasn't so long ago these numbers were much higher.

How good would a healthy pairing of Noel and embiid be

Embiid and Stauskas

Lakers:
10th pick
Gets them cap space and a role player with the 10th pick

Kobe-Capspace-Gasol-10thpick

Kings:
MCW
Good value for the 8th pick. MCW gives them a much needed PG.
MCW-Mclemore-Gay-Dwill-Cousins

Jazz:
7th and 8th pick
Julius Randle and Aaron Gordon. How can you say no to that?

Sixers:
5th pick
Magic would most likely pass up Embiid. Sixers would gamble on him. Traded depth for talent.

Exum-Embiid-Noel

alternative is we don't trade with the Jazz and just go get the 7th and 8th to ourselves..

Exum-Wroten-Thad-Randle-Gordon-Noel (lots of depth but going nowhere)

Like many others, I feel Wiggins to Philly is destined to happen. If we end up with anyone else, even if their futures are also predicted to be quite bright, I feel like we'd be settling for whatever was handed to us. We have to make this happen!

Jazz could say no to that because they don't want 2 PF's? lol...

I don't know. Definitely belongs in the fantasy trade thread.

5th for 7th and 8th? That's a great deal. 8th for MCW? That's fair. 7th and cap space for 10th? Meh...

10th and MCW for 5th? Way too much of an overpay.
