Following potential 2014 draftees

[The Midnight]

Because Favors is more of a proven commodity and further along in his development than Embiid. Lower risk, and maybe a franchise would prefer to win sooner rather than later (Embiid is a project).

But if you're projected to get #7, there is also a chance you'll luck out in the lottery and get top #3 pick.


Also if your team is bad enough to be #7 worst in the NBA, I don't think that team is any where near ready to pay big $ for Favors.

Why would we need to trade away Favors to secure last place? We're already on pace to get the last place without losing an asset.

Go back and watch the GSW Tankers when the sunk low enough to grab Harrison Barnes - they didn't have to trade away nobody.

Hopefully we don't have to. We will have to see where we are around January.

Example we drop to 29th or 28th worst. Lakers are sitting at 8th.

We trade Kanter biedrins and jefferson for Nash and their unprotected first rounder a second round pick and some futures.(ps I didn't look up numbers so i don't know if salaries match but you get the idea)

I'd trade Favors, but not Kanter (we already have Gobert waiting as a true defensive Center). I've been saying this for a while now, trade Favors for the chance at Andrew Harrison.


But I doubt the Lakers would bite on Favors.

I actually meant favors woops. And I think their biggest problem is Nashs salary. they don't need the draft as bad as we do. They can get all stars in FA.

I think if they're in that position, they'd fancy their chance at grabbing top #3 in the lotto.


Money's not an issue with them IMO.

Pretty ****ty trade for us tbh.

CBA makes money an issue for every team.

Yeah it is, but it's just an illustration. And it's off the top of my head.

Except Brooklyn.

I think two picks in this loaded draft is enough. Unless we are presented a great offer. We will have a nice mix of young players, and players entering their prime. We can't start-over completely. To develop these guys this long then flip them for a pick that may or may not work out would be pretty upsetting.

I don't think even they can keep it up for too much longer.

I agree. The Pick is secondary. Getting the worst record comes first.
