Crazy that this organization is in this position. They have Noel who played well in the 2nd half of the season and Embiid coming next season.

Okafor and Towns won't work on this team, draft Winslow or Mudiay at #1? Draft Towns or Okafor and trade the pick for more?

They are in a great position, slightly ahead of the Timberwolves.

edit:
They might also be able to get the #6 pick from the lakers if it falls that low :wow:

Gotta trade down. Hope the Knicks or one of them teams in the 3-4 range are desperate for one of the bigs. You might have to take one of em to use as trade bait.

They trade down to the 2nd or 3rd pick and draft Russell or Mudiay the MCW trade made it obvious they fell in love with a PG in this years draft which I think is Russell. I like to shyt on them for their 10 year tank plan but if this works trading MCW will go down as one of the most ballsy trades by a GM. Most people could see that MCW was a scrub but trading a ROY winner when your getting heavy heat for tanking takes balls. Russell is gonna be a stud in this league.

Think the injury will scare them away from Mudiay? Russell played very well at Ohio St, could be a great pick...not many are talking about him.

You take Towns (or Okafor)

And actually attempt to cash in the assets they have to land a PG.

The reality is that moving down without incentive is pointless and teams like NY, MIN, LA don't have parts worthy enough to move down (and teams that luck out and jump up into the top 3 will be too happy to be there to trade up)

Just pick Russell. For the team they have he has the most value. No one is trading for this years #1 in the top 5 imo.

Why would a team trade for it when everyone knows they won't be draftinTowns or Okafor?

That's why you take them first if you are in that position and force a #3 or #4 team to give you Russell + another pick down the line.

This is chess my dude...
