Future is bright, they more than likely get the Lakers & Kings picks this year too.

I don't think they will utilize that Kings pick yet I see them drafting before the Kings so no need to swap that Lakers pick will be another top 10 pick.

Honestly I think it's best for Them to use that high pick for the top guard prospect or wing...And than consider packing that Lakers pick with another asset and a player or 2 for a more established veteran PG or Wing.

Having the 76ers drafting any of Fultz, Smith Jr, Jackson, Tatum, even Ball if he can keep it up and shows more shooting touch could be a great move and than making a trade for a dude like

Beal, Clarkson, Middleton, Green, if they hit the market would be a good look for them as said before either Jah or Nerlens have to go and if Embiid is healthy they can both go but I'd move Noel first if I could I'd see if I could work something out To get knight, Bledsoe, Clarkson, Rubio, Holiday even. Just to bring a semblance of consistency to the backcourt.

Really missing a stretch 4 or a 3rd piece........Way too dependent on Derozan and Lowry. They badly need a trade, acquisition, something.....They're deep 1-12 and the bench units typically keep them in games against the elite or blow away lesser teams but for the most part they just don't have enough to really compete with the Cavs, Warriors, Clippers etc. (I had a litte something on Raptors +9 tonight solely because I knew their bench would keep them in it against the Clippers bench.)

Pat Pat and DeMarre give them little to nothing most nights. Can count the amount of wide open ass threes Pat Pat has made this year. He's shooting like 22 percent of some goofy shyt.

Ross has been playing a lot better lately and you can see his improvement this year but you could have said the same about him for a while in terms of his inconsistency.

I wish there was a way they could reacquire Bosh so at least things would be semi interesting for them.


The Raptors have a few pieces they can cash in for a stretch 4...However are likely just waiting for Sullinger to come back healthy I also though Patterson was capable of stretching the floor.

The Raptors could easily package a guy like Patterson along with a pick to get a stretch 4...

I still think Blake Griffin is a soft hoe, but how can anyone think Carmello is a better player than him? :mindblown: Dude is even a better defender than Melo.

Patterson is stinking it up and hes a FA,i dont think they get a thing for him right now...his value is as low as its ever gonne be.The real issue is defense,this team is averaging 110 PPG so regardless of how the offense looks fact is they are scoring more than enough to win games and but cant stop anything and this is where coaching becomes the issue...

Our best on ball defender doesnt play...
