The Official 2016 NBA Draft Talk Thread

Okafor and Simmons will not work!!!!


Two ball dominant players that are a horrible defensive pairing. Neither one can stretch the floor, they don't compliment each others games. Simmons would be best utilized in a high paced run the floor type offense where he's the main ball handler, Okafor would be best on a slower half court team with shooters at 1-4 who can defend and space the floor while he posts up. (The Celtics).


Simmons would be better with Noel or Embiid who are both elite athletes who can run the floor and protect the rim and finish at the rim.


People need to kill this shyt please, if Simmons is the pick Oak has to go! If Ingram is the pick then he can stay.

I feel you but my issue is this you see more 76ers games who will score for them...Also with the way teams like the Celtics are rumored to low ball what do you think they will really offer for him? also do you want to run up against a motivated Jah 4 times a season? this has potential to be one of those trades that could go bad.

the 2 rumored teams for Jah are the celts and the suns but I can't see what package Colangelo will want that they will offer.

I am very high on Kris Dunn who I would select in place of Okafor and I feel that would be an equal trade. Even Jamal Murray would be good. But most people don't feel that way


And I'm counting on Embiid being healthy, I could give a fukk about facing Okafor 4 times a year if Embiid is healthy. And if he isn't I'm fine with Noel who I also like more than Okafor. People like to use Okafor's offense to shyt on Nerlens when Nerlens' defense is more impactful on actually winning games. Noel can shut opposing offenses completely down when he's zoned in.

so your good with the Jah for # 3 or #4 I think that the teams should give a bit more value on top of the pick alone. I also wonder who the 76ers will throw cap space at to get to the salary floor.

Why would anyone be worried about the salary floor?

 

[tremonthustler1]

Hield is killin shyt at his pro day

don't the teams all need to get to the salary cap floor this next season? or do they still just make up the difference by paying the players on the roster?

IIRC I don't think teams are gonna spend just to spend, though only a handful of teams have to worry about it

It does look like both bigs could be out.

Nah, I see them keeping Nerlens even if Embiid is healthy.

He's getting a lot of love from teams. Him and Murray have been impressive by all accounts as off guard prospects

I do too. They feel like Embiid is 100% right now. The trip to the Middle East was to check the likelihood of stress he can handle and can he be investEd in the long term. He could have went to playing if Philly was a playoff team

People don't realize the defensive impact Nerlens has had at such a young age

Both look like they'll be excellent players to plug in and play, Hield might put up better numbers overall but I think Murray is a better fit into most rosters and is the prototype for 2 guards

 

[KOBE]

Ask them for their first born too.

We ain't dealing with Hinkie anymore, we got an idiot to communicate with now.
