So, does someone get traded? Does someone come off the bench? If Saric comes over having a 4 man rotation of Noel-Joel-Okafor-Saric could be interesting.

I wanted to see the Noel/Embiid front court though :(

I would wait to see what happens in 2015-16 first before worrying about Saric.

I said this a few weeks ago. This is the right pick. From a fan perspective maybe not that much fun, but it's the best value.

Welcome Okafor.

We'll see how worried the organization is about Embiid if we keep Okafor or trade him.

Don't believe he is still a Sixer by the end of the night. Fine, Lakers, you called our bluff. Your pick back and Okafor for Russell and 27.

There is 96 mins at the PF/C position. Enough for all three to get 32 mins a game for this year so I am not worried.

You go for the BPA and the guy with a chance to be a franchise cornerstone. That is Okafor. Right pick, insurance with Embiid, future trade prospects down the road if Embiid heals up. Now Sam, get to work on the perimeter.
