Well there's a few good prospects they gunning for, Embiid, Parker and Wiggins have potential to be franchise cornerstones. It takes a few years for them to blossom tho. They Already have MWCarter and Noel aboard, Add Wiggins/Parker/Embiid along with that other lottery pick from NO(Top 10 as of right now) and you can potentially be looking at a powerhouse in the next few years.

:huh: so what's the problem here? You just said they were tanking and that's exactly what they're doing? How is this some foresight as to how they'll be in the future? They are purposefully trying to lose

You nikkas are clowns. When/if they pick the wrong players, you gonna laugh at them.

There are ways to build a team and the best way is certainly not when there are not any true star players in the year you draft. Parker would probably be the best fit there, but outside him, Wiggins and Embid ain't gonna do sh*t on that squad.

They traded away dam near every decent player they had for draft picks in order to tank and that's risky as fukk. What happens if Noel becomes a bust due to his ACL tear. What If they draft Wiggins and he becomes another Gerald Green(not counting this season) which is plausible with his disappearing act at Kansas. The only draft where I would do this was the 2003 draft when everybody and there mother knew Lebron was gonna be a top 5 player with in a couple of years but this draft is just over hyped.

They already tried it out with those players and it didn't work. They play in the shytty ass eastern conference and all they could do is get a first round exit. This is supposed to be the best draft in years and they're going all out. I respect what they're doing.

they have 5 picks in one of the deepest drafts in years. Two of those will be in the lotto, plus they have cap space, a young great pg under control for years, a tradeable asset in thad young and nerlens noel so technically thats liek having 3 top 15 picks next year.
