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)


for a guy that could miss his 1st 2 years of his pro career, you guys sure are opptimistic, transcendent talent :lol: . You guys eating up every bit of the garbage Hinkie is feeding you and I wouldn't do the trade even if you gave us both Noel and Saric.

There's a good chance that LA could not even tank and still be bad enough to keep their pick. But most likely, they're going to be JUST good enough to be only the 6th worst team or something like that.

We're not going to blatantly tank like last season. With a healthy roster, I'm thinking somewhere in the vicinity of 30-35 wins.

How about the Canadian kid you just picked up from the Kings? If we're gonna be as crappy as you think, that pick is gonna be a coin toss.

With the Hibbert trade I don't see us being anywhere near bottom 3. So I take back my tank comments.

So if Lakers get the first pick in next year's stacked draft, we should trade it for at best someone like Kevin Love?

Hell no...6'11" 216 ? Dude is a freaking twig. A center that size ISN'T helping you win now in the league, stop these pipe dreams.

Agree with Skulls, lock this crap....nobody wants to see this "tank for" crap

LOL, you guys are so scared of the "t word." Might want to get used to it and stop treating it like blasphemy. Your team is bad and free agents don't want to go there. So you better get used to picking early in the draft (starting in 2017 since Hinkie will most likely have your 2016 pick). Sooner you start that part of the process the better you'll feel - see Sixers fans, for example.
