Offer to Cavs for #1 is to draft Wiggins not Parker

How the **** could winning games be mutually exclusive to development? Does anyone think the Spurs did a terrible job developing their roster of cast-offs and write-offs (Kawhi among them ["he can't shoot" {he couldn't})?

Embiid could fall to #5, though, and I think they'd take Favors over anything else the Sixers could offer.

DL, just do whatever it takes to get #1 and grab Wiggins.

Favors + #5 + #23 + GSW 2017 pick

Just get it done.

exactly

Sixers start bidding and we throw in #23 & GSW 2017

NO way his source wasn't from the Cavs

More the fact that if we have Jarrett Jack I see him taking time away from Neto (if he comes over) and Hayward/Burks at the 2 position. That is the development I care about.

If we win more games great. But winning shouldn't be the #1 priority this coming year. Just improving and finding out who is the core. As we wasted so many years previously just playing veterans over the the young guys while they sat doing nothing.

Wouldn't that be seen by winning? What would you want to see next year, record use.

It might lead to winning. But the development comes before trying to get a few extra wins.

For instance. You can have your core group who need to improve and make sure they build team chemistry and get a lot of minutes. Or you can pick up veterans to play more minutes off the bench taking away minutes from everyone. Which will lead to a better bench but will not lead to development. Teams like the Thunder or Blazers. Teams that could of signed veterans to share minutes with the young guys until they are proven. But instead they opted to continue to play the young core and not sign any great free agents who will take away minutes.

Well I believe that vets when used right help young development.

It would benefit the Cavs to leak that the Jazz are targeting Wiggins so that the Sixers hear this rumor (directly or indirectly), so that the Sixers believe their only chance to get Wiggins is to deal with the Cavs (not the Bucks) and up their offer.

This rings true to me. I don't like it.

Development that doesn't coincide with increased winning is not nothing, but it's close.

Sometimes its perceived winning. Like how Corbin played the Vets too much.

Sometimes players just need to learn to play together. And haven't been given much of a chance. So you take short term losses so they can figure it out. For long term wins.

You need to calm down with the Tyrone Corbin 3/11 inside job stuff.
