So paying Lowry the max just to win 45 games at most and go out in the first round when Simmons Embid Saric (Monk and say Dennis Smith) and company could win 40 alone.

This post says: I have never watched NBA basketball before. But I play a lot of video games!


Personally, I'm heated Jeanne went to the combine and balled out in 5-on-5... really wanted him in the second. Now way he drops there now.

I feel like Philly could afford to reach a little for Monk at 3, but if not Minnesota is a prime candidate to trade down with.

Zach LaVine and the #7 for the #3 pick and hope Monk falls. :ehh:

Probably some more involved considering LaVine's injury. What ya'll think? :jbhmm:

I think it's bad enough Philly has to give Embiid a 5 year max as injury prone as he is. I don't think they wanna have to consider the same thing to a guy off a torn ACL who only exists because of his athleticism.

Both sides pass.

To add:


Philly has to decide between 3 players:

Isaac
Jackson
Monk

I don't think anyone else is really in consideration and Philly has to decide what position is Ben Simmons going to defend. They wanna use him as their PG, but if he defending 3's? If so, it might not make sense to go Isaac or Tatum. If he's defending other 1's, then it makes Jackson a slam dunk, but if they want Lowry or a free agent G, then who knows?

I feel like someone punched me in my stomach. We better take Josh at #3. I don't give a fukk about shooting. If these niccas reach for Monk...I might check out.

Pick Jackson or trade some of these future assets to get #1. This was a terrible night.

I feel like there's a strong chance Philly trades down

I don't like Jackson to Philly for the same reasons I don't like Fox there. Although Josh would work a little better.

someone has to trade up though. I'm not dismissing it, but it has to be worthwhile.

Word is that Philly really likes what Isaac can bring to them, but I also assume that was if they had 2 picks.
