thats way too much to give up

No its not

 

[CarltonJunior]

Scorched earth policy, maybe you can get Oladipo, Hezonja and their pick for Butler, they seem pressed to make the playoffs.

I hate the thought of doing a deal with Orlando when they practically gave up Harris for free.

If that was Oladipo, Harris and a pick I'd say yes but it's not.

the same thing i said they needed to do 4 years ago

start from scratch



thats way too much to give up

Philly would be giving us a pick outside of the top 3 if that was a Lakers pick so no it's not too much to give up in that case.

Not really Okafor is expendable once Embiid is back and we get back an all star player in return, we still have our own pick as well, seems fair to me.

that's not how you build a team

talented big with 3 years left on a rookie deal, plus the 5th pick in the draft (worse case scenario if the lakers dont keep their pick) for jimmy butler - a player with injuries who's gonna be thrown to a team with no other talent?

76ers would be best served to keep all of their picks and overpay a good player in free agent. at least in my opinion.

I don't love that trade. I don't know

It's going to be an interesting summer with this team

Thet definitely left the door open for a complete blow up though

You probably rate Okafor higher than I do then

What do you think about a swap centered around Jimmy / Boogie

its not that i rate him high, i'm just not giving up 2 guys locked into cheap deals for 3/4 years

im not moving cousins for butler if im sacramento.

Here's the thing, Sixers have held on to their picks for like 4/5 years and still haven't amounted to anything. They won't be attracting free agents as is so they'll have to trade for their targets, Jah has already proven that he can't play with Noel, and you hopefully will be bringing in Embiid. Hopefully. You bring in a guy like Butler and some decent role players who will play hard and suddenly you're a sub 30 win team. You'll still be able to build from there, and maybe a guy like Jimmy puts up so many numbers that Philly becomes a FA destination.

All that being said, I feel like if we take on Jah that puts us in a tough situation and I think we'll revert back to being a squad that lacks a real identity and we won't be making the playoffs. I also don't think any player outside of the top 3 is a game changer in this particular draft

If that trade would happen hypothetically Sixers potentially look like:

PG: ???? FA signing
SG: Butler / Stauskas
SF: Covington / Grant
PF: Simmons / Saric
C: Embiid / Noel


Not exactly a team with no talent

if you're confident that embiid will be 100 percent healthy and stay that way, then that's another story

i'm not making that trade though. i'd continue taking my chances in the draft

if you insist on winning 30 games right away

pg - overpay rondo or conley
buddy hield
ingram
noel
okafor/embiid

or

rondo/conley
hield
covington
simmons/noel
okafor/embiid

The Celtics would make a better offer on Boogie.
