It makes sense if theyre delusional enough to think they can win now with a team dependent on the Cowardly Lion, but it's gonna be hard to trade that pick for any veteran making a decent salary. Most of their money is tied up in three guys, who are they gonna trade along with #3 to make the money work?

The only other contracts theyve got are Oubre and Hood-Schifino making a combined 12 mils. They cant trade for Middleton's 30M deal. Nor could they trade for Poole's 30 mil or Marcus Smart's 20 mil even if they wanted either of those two, which Im sure they dont but it illustrates the point.

Dont see who they could take back for that #3 pick thats gonna make any kind of difference for them.

I think they might be looking to dump PG's contract. They made a mistake signing him in the first place.

We got the 18th pick in that Smart deal. At the time it was mid 20s but then they tanked and we were afraid they would keep the pick because it was top 14 protected. If Memphis didn't get through the play in they would have kept the pick.

What is the obsession with posting heights barefoot? Generally speaking becuase it’s a thing across the net. They play with sneakers. Last I checked. So where does the barefoot height come into play outside of them in the comfort of their home, at a pool, beach etc

And how many inches do sneakers add? Then again that varies as it’s not one set size across the board. But I’m assuming at least an inch & a 1/2 added.

Wizards have absolutely nothing to offer. Hell no. I’ll stop watching the sixers if they trade the 3rd to the sh*tty wizards

We have the 6th pick and cap space. We also have big, expiring contracts and a good off ball shooter in Kispert.

If the sixers want to dump PG we are logical trade partner.

Hahaha kispert? So basically you can eat Paul George contract for us in a deal. That’s it. No thanks do better.

For trading down 3 spots what do you expect?

Of course I am just speculating about them wanting to dump PG13. Sam Vecenie is the one reporting that they are shopping the pick. The only way for us to get in on that would be to take on PG's awful contract.

I expect us not to entertain the Wizards calling at all. Even if they are willing to eat George contract. I know you’re speculating. Sixers most likely will be looking to add a proven player that can help them win next season using the 3rd pick as trade bait. And that too is dumb. But there’s really nothing the Wizards has that entices me to do a trade. You can get rid of George contract without sacrificing the 3rd overall pick.


Is the talent at 6 that significantly worse than the 3rd pick? Why don’t want the 3rd pick

The way I see the draft is that Flagg and Harper are a tier above everyone else. Then I see Bailey/Tre/VJ as the next tier.

After that there are a lot of guys on roughly the same tier.

I have to question if Morey is interested in making a pick at all. He doesn't strike me as having a lot of patience for rookies.

Morey won’t make it out the city alive if he trades this pick.

Take Ace Bailey and keep it moving. Hopefully this franchise can develop him.

Rumor is that the nets are looking to trade up to 6 to take Fears. I am fine with that as long as Ace/Tre/VJ are off the board.

I really like Flaggs teammate Kon Knuepple at #8, he reminds me of Klay Thompson with handles and playmaking ability, easily the best shooter in this draft

Not a fan of Fears I'd be annoyed if we traded up for him

Tre is the best shooter in the draft.
