Russell
Clarkson
Durant
Randle
Skal Labissiere

That's a nice young core to build around. :nod:

no, he has short wingspan

i don't know if the Lakers brave enough to all out tank with Kobe around and only have top 3 protection.

Why would Durant want to play with a bunch of 1st to 3rd year guys who were just in the lottery?

For the same basketball reasons why the front office was convinced that LMA and DJ would come to play alongside rookies and sophomores.

Not gonna happen. Wait a few days and Mitch will pull a rabbit out of his hat. Its not gonna be a rabbit that we will necessarily like, but it will be an anti tank move. Top 3 protected? We were lucky to jump to 2 this year. Ball might bounce the other way next year.

Take the protection off the Sixers pick in exchange for Embiid. I want this monkey off our back. Hinkie might do it for some sense of certainty at this point. Good chance we're gonna suck hard enough to be in contention for that third pick.

We have enough rookies as it is. We really need to add some vets.

Lets not talk about any individual rookies please... remember that Okafor was #1 all year long and we let him slip past us to #3. It doesnt matter who impresses now but 11 months from now.

Tanking is for bitches. We're not going to be as worst as last year unless we get major injuries.

No more tanking.
Sorry but my "+1" was a finger slip on my iphone.

We have enough youngsters.
Need to go for two max guys next year.

The Sixers view Embiid as a transcendent talent. The next great center in the aura of Shaq,Olajuwon, Duncan.He's not available for trade.

How about this. You are going nowhere fast, its going to be a rough year. You will be 28- 54 and most likely wont even have a #1 pick to soften the blow.

Ok this is what I can do for you.

To Philadelphia- Dangelo Russell.

To LAL

Nerlens Noel or Dario Saric

LAL #1 Pick(2016)

Miami #1 Pick (2016)
