2013-2014 Sixers Season Thread

[SD]

Why is it terrible? Love Thad, but what is his purpose on this team? He's going to opt out at season's end. At least they got something for him. Plus this makes them that much closer to a top pick next season. Really see no downside.

I'd have preferred the Bennett trade,  but this isn't too bad either. I'm actually a bit surprised they got a future 1st for him. Assets. It's all about the assets.

they got 2 guys who suck and a meaningless draft pick....maybe you hold onto thad and deal him at the deadline? what they got for him is basically a bag of dicks. dicks. they got a bag of dicks.

but everyone is under the hinkie spell so of course its the bestest trade evar

[SD]

It's probably a top 20 pick...hardly 'worthless'. You're not getting much more for Thad whether you move him now or move him at the deadline. Why would a team give you more for him when he can opt out a few months later? Only team giving you anything for him is a team in the championship hunt and they don't have much to give and all their picks are 20 and beyond. Plus...losing Thad makes them that much worse.

[MDS]

id ballpark the heat having about the 4th or 5th best record in the east...which probably puts them around the 20th pick. looking through the last handful of drafts, the best case scenario is a role player in that spot. which is just terrific. love role players. so valuable and hard to find.

they got nothing for him now they couldnt get at the deadline, i.e. a pick. the 2 players are useless. but now they are down to 2 nba players on their roster, so the tanking will be a joy to watch.

[SD]

You need role players, at least they get a chance at a young guy with upside. An extra first also gives them flexibility to make other moves. What else were you expecting to get for Thad? What purpose does he serve next season? And the two players aren't 'useless' when you consider this:

While fellow freshman Andrew Wiggins will leave after the season, Kansas teammate Joel Embiid told ESPN that he will talk to the Jayhawks coaching staff and also his mentor, fellow Cameroon native and NBA player Luc Mbah a Moute, before making a final decision concerning his NBA future.

Embiid said he's not yet thinking about the decision just moments after watching the Jayhawks get knocked out of the NCAA tournament with a loss to Stanford in the round of 32.

[MDS]

maybe he'll teach embiid how to tweet better

[phattymatty]

thad isn't any more than a role player either. no point in keeping him around. bennett would have been a crazy good upside deal. this trade is whatever but it's not bad.
