They do have more talent in my eyes, because they have 2 positions locked up and Embiid being a post/skilled 7 footer is just a massive gap between what you have and him. And even if you feel they're going to trade Noel they still have Saric to play the 4 who is the unquestioned best young player in Europe right now.

Is there anyone on your team you feel is better than Noel? He's the main reason the Sixers defense is even respectable.

if this was 2K and we could turn injuries off, I'd agree with you but no one knows if Embiid will ever be healthy. you keep acting like its a given he'll come back and stay healthly. we all know that 7 footers and foot problems don't go away. dude might be the next Brook Lopez. decent when healthy but perpetually injured.

:dwillhuh: I seriously have no idea how Bucks did this shyt

:mjcry: Im impressed

they took MCW off their hands because they knew that the sixers didn't care about him, and for the low too since they been shopping him for a minute. Dumped Knight who would ask for a hefty paycheck

I'm not at all sold on Bill Self and Brett Brown as coaches that develop young talent.
The Morris twins are semi succesful and Wiggins is a big talent of course but look at Xavier Henry, Josh Selby, Thomas Robinson etc (remember Cole Aldrich was great in college and a lottery pick)
Noel and MCW have yet to play up to their talent as well.
Embiid looked amazing in college when he was healthy but watch him put 8 points 7 rebounds a game next year on 47% fg.
I'm not sold, the talent is there but almost no results and like I said as soon as they started playing better with KJ and MCW they traded for more picks.
Tanking is for a 3-4 years not a decade....

He could be plagued by injuries like Lopez, or he could be like Kevin McHale and Zydrunas who broke the same bone and then played a ton of games.

exactly. so stop acting like philly got a sure deal. they are rollin the dice on this one. just like everything else they've been doing. RIGHT NOW, there aint one player on their roster that you can say is gonna be part of a core for the future. all they have is draft picks and POTENTIAL.

Have y'all seen Saric play?
I'm a big fan but I have serious doubts about him being able to stay in front of George, Leonard, Durant, Melo, LeBron even Gordon Hayward.
He might be more of a stretch 4, once he puts on some weight

:camby:

You must have missed all the "mights" and "if Joel can stay healthy" in my posts :stopitslime:

No shyt they are rolling the dice, but if he can stay healthy he also has the highest potential of anyone in that draft class.
