We get it, your Center can't shoot free throws. Nobody cares
PS: baseball sucks. None of what you said about baseball being good or fun is true
Bryan Colangelo Admits 76ers Will Likely Trade Okafor, Noel Or Embiid
JUL 13, 2016 11:04 AM
The Philadelphia 76ers have a logjam at the big positions in Jahlil Okafor, Joel Embiid and Nerlens Noel.
"There's no question you can look at our roster and say we have some unbalance," said Bryan Colangelo. "We're top heavy. We have some good talent there."
Colangelo talked positively about the individual attributes of each player.
"We have to figure out what we're going to do with everybody. When you look at the calls coming in, quite frankly, everyone's trying to poach a big man from us."
Colangelo also talked about his support for how Okafor publicly criticized reporting about the 76ers trying to trade him.
"Absolutely not," said Colangelo when asked if he's comfortable entering the season with their three centers on the roster. "We're not going to make a bad deal just to make a deal. I think we can be a better basketball team if we can distribute that talent better. Maybe take one of those assets and address other needs on the roster. I think right now it's best to say we like all of them, we want to see if we can make the most out of each of them. At the end of the day, the reality says one has to go at some point but only when the deal is right."
Lakers will be in the mix for another top lottery pick
^ it's cant much worse for the sixers though can it?
We'll take Westbrook for a couple of future second round picks and we'll throw in James Young
put the bottle downLakers will be in the mix for a playoff seed
Noel would fit perfectly next to Horford and he's from Boston. Haven't seen him around the team even once this entire offseason and they haven't had him in any of the social media marketing. I think a Noel to the Celtics deal will happen, but idk what the Celtics would give up. Smart and Crowder aren't the best shooters so idk how they would fit with Simmons. Bradley has to be the guy they want.
@WojVerticalNBA: Free agent center Jordan Hill has agreed to a two-year, $8M deal with Minnesota, league source tells @TheVertical.

If Boston would have agreed to take Noel for #3, everyone would have walked away happy. Now Boston is stuck with Brown, we still have three confused centers and Dunn is killing the summer league.

THIS.
So pissed they wasted that #3 pick instead of giving it to us for Noel. That was the best deal for both parties. I wanted Dunn on the Sixers badly.
History tells us Russ Westbrook gets moved. As much as that **** ******g sucks for them, Sam Presti realizes he's gonna have to press that button. You just CAN'T take the growing risk of losing out on your other franchise player without getting a major haul back. At least this way it jump starts your rebuild.
I think he might get dealt before the season starts. A strong assurance from Russ is necessary for them to keep him around until season's end, and that still might not be enough.
Russ will be in Boston before the season starts

This is not gonna end well
I'm assuming they probably aren't going to get much for Embiid at this point with him not having had played an NBA game in the two years since he got drafted.can they get anything for embiid? that's a high risk if a team is giving up a lot
The dolt was too busy trying to win trades and increase his notoriety than make sound basketball decisions.Danny Ainge ****** up badly. All those "assets" he's been doing nothing with. Think they had like 8 picks in this draft and they actually used every one of them. Mostly on just random euros that'll never come over. I don't understand what his thought process was with that.
They could have had Dunn, Noel/Okafor + Covington + Timothe + Furkan...or they could have drafted Dunn and traded him in a package for Jimmy Butler. There were probably other offers we don't know about too.
