[Sect 236]

CLE- Wiggins
MIL- Embiid
PHL- Parker with Stauskas as the #10 pick.

I know rothdawg will be happy with that. I'll definitely enjoy the scoring production they would immediately add with Stauskas and Parker on the perimeter, just gotta hope Noel is the shot blocking force he's supposed to be, because there's not going to be a ton of D played.

My first though is what can Hinkie do if Cleveland has interest in going another route. What if they are ok with either Embiid or Parker and are willing to trade with Philly? Hinkie gets Wiggins, the Bucks take either Embiid or Parker, and the Cavs take who ever is left? It's going to cost them but I'd be willing to roll the dice. That's all I got at this point.

[rothdawg]

Those two guys would certainly help the offense. To me if Hinkie stays at #10 it should be either Gordon or Stauskas...maybe James Young. I'm not that high on Lavine (who barely saw the floor at times for UCLA) or Harris.

I guess it's possible, and while I do like the idea of Hinkie with his pick of the litter, something Jalen Rose said before the Heat game rang true last night…

"In today's NBA, you don't win the title without 3 All-Stars. Miami has The Big 3. San Antonion has Duncan, Parker and Ginobilli or maybe now Kawhi Leonard. OKC lost their 3rd All-Star when Ibaka got hurt."

In a deep draft, with the potential to add 2 All-Stars at 3 and 10, I don't know if I want them giving up #10 to move up 2 spots. Draft BPA at both slots and go from there.

Unless Cleveland would take #3, a 2nd and Thad for #1. Then I'm all over that.

They should go no lower than 3, IMO. Get more assets and still get one of the top players in the draft. There are folks around here already talking about trading the pick for Kevin Love, as if he would ever sign an extension to stay here.

Anybody but embiid. Rule to live by: never touch a C with back, knee, or foot issues in college.

Ever.

I don't mind them losing the pick this year because they aren't going to make the playoffs next season. They aren't sending their #1 pick to Miami (I think Boston may have that pick now). Hinkie will tank again before that happens. I'll take Wiggins, Noel, MCW, and a lottery pick next year with cap space to boot.

Wiggins, Noel, MCW, Gordon and a lottery pick next year with cap space to boot if you convince Cleveland to trade you #1 for Thad, #3 and a 2nd.

Parker, Noel, MCW, Gordon and a lottery pick next year with cap space to boot if you don't trade anything. Plus, you gotta think they add another 1st with all the seconds they have. Hinkie isn't drafting 5 second rounders.

No matter who and how many they add this year, a team for of relative rookies (MCW the exception) isn't going to be cohesive enough to win plus their bench blows.

It can be better than last season. I know second round picks are not highly thought of but this draft is deep enough to get a role player or two in the second round.

Also, while I am not the biggest fan of Stauskas as a prospect, I think he would pair very well with Jabari Parker. A team with Stauskas, Parker, Carter-Williams and Noel would have a lot of potential.

How could it be worse?

Brandon Davies…Byron Mullins…Casper Ware…Darius Johnson Odom.

A who's who of tanking.

Personally, I'd like to see PJ Hairston @ 10. He's almost as good of a shooter as Stauskas, but with more all-around skill and body.

Ive said it here before. I REALLY want the sixers to get young.. Athletic as shit... Can drive and handle, is a LEFTY which is a huge plus, and can really shoot it.. Problem is getting him to play defense

[ishimonster]

I'd really like to see them package together some combination of their (5) second round picks to pick up a third 1st. If they get it right, they can really, really do some damage in this draft.
