Don't the Sixers Have a Bunch of Picks

[homeytennis]

for this draft. It seems like they have 7 or 8 if National Sports Talk radio is correct. Is there a chance of us getting the third pick in exhcange for our first and maybe a couple of sweetners for a couple of their picks thrown in.

This year they have the #s 2, 35, 37, 47, 58 and 60.

Jazz have the 12, 42 and 54

No. There's no chance. The Jazz might be able to move up into the top 10, but not inside the top 5. . . unless they do something drastic with the Knicks.

And realistically, the Jazz should look to move up in the 2nd for a prospect who slips or get two draft and stash international prospects to add to their asset portfolio.

Yeah the only way jazz move to top five is with the Knicks.

Since Isiah THomas is helping Phil and Fisher out maybe we can offer the Knicks one of the Jazz dancers for the Knicks pick.

if the lotto had broke their way, they could have had the 1, 6, and 11 because of protections (top-5 from some loser team and top-10 from some other retard organization).

But it didn't because they are sloppy tankers and basketball dios doesn't play.

Even with the Knicks, we aren't moving up that far without giving up players that we are not trading. Also, for those who like to make fun of Philly, smart money says they will have the last laugh. That team is going to be ridiculously stacked when all is said and done.

The Knicks would trade the pick but not for something we would give up. They want a solid player, they would trade the pick for Hayward, Gobert or Favors but probably not for any other player on our roster. Maybe an outside chance of Burk and our pick for the 5 but I doubt that would get it done. I also dont know we would do that unless Russell is on the board still for some reason. We are not trading one of those, especially for a #5 draft pick. I think the Knicks will end up trading it for a team that is going to start over with a rebuild, although not sure who that would be.

That had like a 0.26% chance of happening soo...

I'll still be laughing plenty at Philly .. they're a freaking disgrace to basketball the way they've managed things the last few years

Don't worry they'll be laughing with the rings they win in a few years.

 

[Avery]

Can you imagine what it would have been like had the Sixers drafted eight players? That would have been comical.

Chances are high that they try and turn some of those into future picks and/or stash some guys from overseas. It's not likely that Dario Saric is coming over anytime soon with his contract.

Nah, don't get caught up in everything you read. All kinds of crap articles about how they are the worst tankers ever, and yet they weren't even the worst tankers last year. They have a solid rebuilding plan, which is far better than being a team like the suns who are stuck on the treadmill, or a team like the Nets who tried to buy a successful team. Let's check back in 5 years and see how Philly compares to Phoenix.

If they draft well and don't draw it out to long. After a while busts and losing those first drafted becomes a problem.

No rebuilding plan is foolproof. Just the same, I'd much prefer their direction to most teams. Denver is another team that is operating the way a lot of fans here think is best. Their direction sucks, if they even have one.

Huh? Asset portfolio? These aren't diversified stocks; they're players who haven't exactly been jumping out of their skin to come over and play for the Jazz in recent years. And all we're doing is collecting them -- not trading them.

We have enough of those. No thank you.

Utah isn't adding 3 rookies to the roster next year. We have two 2nd rounders, so if they aren't traded, we will use at least one as draft and stash. We don't need every D&S player to work out, but we do have to do something with those picks, and they don't have a lot of trade value. Next year we have 3 2nds, and 4 2nds the year after that, so you might as well get used to those picks being used on Euros who might never come over or just never become good. If we ever do strike gold, it will be well worth all the 2nds that didn't pan out.
