Yall taking Ingram then trading Okafor to the Celtics for Dunn :jbhmm:
That's funny cause that's same exact scenario I was telling my friend offline. It'll give the low post big they desperately need to take the pressure off always counting on Isiaih to be the only offensive player that can get his own shot and they have a good enough perimeter defense that they could help protect him from being attacked too much on D.

This is it for the Sixers. The time for tanking is over. They have assets and cap space this summer to play with. No reason for them not to win at least 30 games next season. If Embid comes back and is healthy Okafor probably gets traded but you have to be careful with that cause out of the 3 he is the one with no injury history and he is probably gonna be a 20 and 10 player one day soon. So you better hope Embid is the player you think he can be before you get rid of Jahlil.

The Suns guard rotation is already stacked. Bledsoe, Booker, Knight. Then there's Ronnie Price who's been a pretty good backup point guard, Archie Goodwin on a contract year fighting for minutes, and Bogdan Bogdanovic(2014 #27 pick) possibly coming from overseas. If another guard is drafted, it will only add to the guard drama. We already have Knight saying he doesn't want to come off the bench and Archie frustrated with his role.

The Suns are better off getting the highest ceiling forward available.

Now who else wanna fukk with Hollywood Court?
Hield makes a ton of sense. They still need outside shooting and all they have at SG right now is LaVine and he may not be cut out to start.

Bazz may or may not be on the team next year because it's contract extension time for him and nobody really knows what Thibs thinks of him. Even if Bazz stays, Thibs is not gonna have faith in him defensively to start him (it might be for the best since Bazz might be more comfortable off the bench. The same MIGHT apply to LaVine)

As for Wiggins, he has to come to terms with the fact that he can't keep ducking the weight room and he has to bulk up because whether he likes it not, SF is where he's gonna have to be until he can do something other than score, and he may have no choice but to worry about rebounding and other intangible shyt if he knows he's at SF permanently.


If Bender's there it's an easy pick, but I expect him to go top 4


You need shooting, but Thibs will also want someone that can defend and who knows if Hield can do that. Look at who he used to play, he gave broken jumper Ronnie Brewer minutes simply because he could defend. I like Hield, but I just don't see it with the Wolves and how he'd fit with them, he's a good shooter but you need a defender there just as much as the spacing. There aren't any guys who fit that bill in this draft, guys who can shoot while also being pegged as potentially elite or close to elite defenders, maybe Luwawu but he's not someone you take at 5.

Your player development from what I've read in general doesn't stress weight training, I mean it's not like Wiggins is the only dude you have that's skinny and stayed skinny with yall :russ:


I guess it depends on what Boston does, that's the only team I could see taking Bender but he's a couple years away and Ainge doesn't have the patience. The Suns could use him, but they need a 3 in the worst way, they got Tucker out there starting still. I think Bender makes you the most dynamic team long term, because he has the potential skillset to make it a nightmare to defend him and Towns, plus the size as well.

Ainge went after Okafor at the deadline

More possible than some may think

It makes the most sense for both teams, frees up the Sixers to take Ingram and then get their PG while it gives you an option on offense without breaking the bank and sending out all those assets like Cousins would.
