2016 Sixers Offseason Thread

My gut tells me Okafor for #3 is better than the deal they will actually make.

Agreed. I think that's a shtein deal too but I'm almost preparing myself for them to come out of tonight without the LA or SAC future number 1s or something like that.

I agree with igy it's not necessary to trade back into the top ten in this draft. Yeah I think Dunn is the best PG this year but guys like Jackson from ND or Ulis would be perfectly fine for what the need immediately. And they could easily be there at 24 or 26.

yeah im in full hoping for the best expecting the worst mode

btw charlotte is offering #22 if a team will simply take jeremy lamb and his contract off their books....no chance that doesn't happen if hinkie magic is still here

i hate that twats are considered news these days, but:

Numerous rivals describe Philly as the most active team in circulation ... with a trade involving Nerlens Noel looking more and more likely

League sources tell @chadfordinsider and me: Philadelphia is ramping up its efforts to acquire tonight's No. 3 overall pick from Boston.

how do you "ramp up" a rocket launcher?

and im going to be livid if they trade nn for that pick...no one right now really even wants to play with boston for the 3 which shows you how much people think of that pick

[phattymatty]

yeah i'm giving colaneglo the benefit of the doubt because he hasn't done anything at all yet, but if nerlens is gone tonight i'm going to be mad. i'm not sure how anyone could watch that team last year and think that slow ass okafor is a guy to build around. not even saying nerlens will ever be the centerpiece of a team because his offense is trash but he'll be an amazing fit with simmons and a good backcourt.

[ice grillin you]

theres legit questions about whether nn can co exist with jo jo...but we know oakafor cant...and forget fit...nn is already an elite defender...the sixers offense (oakafors strength) was significantly worse when he was on the floor last year

[Eagles_Legendz]

Sixers aren't getting #3 for NN.  It would be NN+

[PhillyPhreak54]

Might as well ramp up my anger now and just consider NN gone

farg off Colangelo

[ice grillin you]

Sixers aren't getting #3 for NN.  It would be NN+

other than the brooklyn swap next year or the 2018 Brooklyn pick which obviously would be too much in either case I don't see what they could do that would make it worth it...unless you start adding in other players and stuff and make it a blockbuster type trade where the sixers get someone like avery Bradley in there somewhere

[ice grillin you]

Might as well ramp up my anger now and just consider NN gone

nothing wrong with trading nn...you just cant do it for the #3 pick

[Eagles_Legendz]

I'm saying Celtics want more than just NN for 3

[ice grillin you]

I'm saying Celtics want more than just NN for 3

that's nice of them

they also wanted jimmy butler for just the 3

we all want

[Eagles_Legendz]

I'm not saying I would do it.  My point is if you're talking about getting angry about Noel for 3, be prepared to get infinitely more angry because if they trade him to the Celtics they're giving up more than just Noel.

i don't believe its true...I mean I believe ainge asked for the moon but cant ever see it happening...nn is a proven nba player and already an elite defender in the league....no way they trade him and something else for an older unproven player



the sixer rumors are out of control...I hope bryco is having fun with all of hinkie magics toys

unlike a lot of hinkie magics sheeple im not one to say that hinkie magic is necessarily a great evaluator of talent as I believe he was a long way from proving that but man do they miss his trade creativity right now and understanding of value
