Let's say we get top pick, Who y'all want to draft? Them back problems for Embiid got me skeptical on him

:lupe: I been saying brehs, I think I'm leaning towards taking Wiggins over Embiid, fukking drafting for need, go for the player that has more potential and higher ceiling, and if Wiggins goes on a tear during March Madness, I think we might have to take him if he is available.

:rudy: Get at me this time next season. :youngsabo:
I find it hard to pass up a big man when he's there. Even in today's open space NBA game, his impact could be exactly what we could need.

. We can sign a max player this summer and we probably still wont. why? well, its not cause of money. The max FA list goes LeBron, Melo, Bosh, maybe Bledsoe. None of which are realistic options and none of which Buss wants to go after anyway, for whatever reason. SO lets not give Jim Buss the "lack of funds" excuse for what he fails to do this summer. TO be honest...The reality is, there arent enough realistic pieces out there to sign and build a contender. We're gonna have to draft well and orchestrate trades. I can see us signing a B Level star maybe but is it even worth it?

Edit: I hope we dont draft Parker, we dont need anymore defensive liabilities. Embiid, Wiggins, Smart should be at the top of our list in that order. I honestly believe Marcus Smart is a jumper away from being an all star in the league, his intagibles are off the wall and he's a complete guard. If Kobe serious about contending he should push for Smart or in the unrealistic case Wiggins. Athleticism and defense is a must on the wings. I like Wiggins, but I wont lie his body language is a turn off. He doesnt seem to play with alot of passion. With that said, his athleticism and defense makes him a pretty safe pick, he wont be a FLAT OUT bust. If we end up with a late pick like 8, 9, or 10 we HAVE to look at Aaron Gordon. He cant shoot, but he does everything else pretty well and has high energy and IQ. Id say stay away from Julius. A potential Pau/Julius front court just sounds bad. Vonleh would be a better fit imo.

I'm telling you bruh. Watch


I don't see a point in having Embeast if Pringles is the coach. Not tryna waste the youngin's talent.

Pringles is gon bruh, just read they have an option on his 3rd year, so they wont even be on the hook for his salary when they fire him :banderas:
