The NBA Draft Thread

Colangelo says they're looking for a "nontraditional point guard that can shoot" since Simmons will be basically a point forward for them. Any ideas on who they could trade for or sign that this would fit? I wanna say Brandon Knight would be a good fit.
Bring Lou Williams back to Philly.

Yea Knight would be good if PHX is willing to deal, he fits but he's not ideal.


I worry about him defensively, a good rim protector in Embiid/Noel will help.


He's not that great of a shooter though.



What Philly should really do is abandon the PG position in the traditional way. Simmons runs the point and you sign somebody like Bazemore/Beal who can guard PG's and shoot around 40% from 3.

Ideally you want at least 3 shooters playing with Simmons, they have Covington, Saric + whoever they add.


I really hope they develop Furkan because he could be a better version of Beal IMO. He's much longer, better shooter at the same age and doesn't get a stress fracture every year.
 
YO


I said the same thing to my girl like "He invites this ***** after he ****** his money up?" :lol

Johnny Jones should be mad at Ben.


He's getting fired because Ben would rather make fancy passes than make winning plays.

I have no shame in admitting that I get thoroughly aroused watching Thon Maker highlights

dude is gonna be a freaking stud
 
Philly is basically looking for a scoring point guard who moves without the ball and have a 3pt range. I can't think of a player like that worth trading Oak for unless it's a package.

Maybe Knight + Chriss for Oak?

I can see Oak and Bender work very well together. Plus it's widely known that the Bucks are looking to trade Knight, Bledsoe and Chandler. They also drafted point guards so...

I have to wonder if Simmons old high school teammate Deangelo Russell could be in play for them in a deal involving Noel or Okafor
 
I don't want or like Russell..I rather go with Knight he'll come at a cheaper price..but I think Knight and Chriss probably too much for Oak tho..
 
Huh? You know how much Knight makes right?

Actually..Knight's on a great deal..which would make the deal even sweeter for us..but when I say cheaper..I meant the Lakers would want a lot more for Russell..Opposed to the Suns..who need to really dump some of those guard..and might be more willing to make deal than the lakers.
