not that the sixers have shown much interest in trading him

w noel they cld conceivably go from a very good defensive team to a great one too
― lag∞n, Wednesday, 22 June 2016 16:15 (seven years ago) link
the sixers would be crazy to trade noel for the #3 pick if the celtics could get that they shouldn't think twice
― J0rdan S., Wednesday, 22 June 2016 16:17 (seven years ago) link
ya i dont think they wld
― lag∞n, Wednesday, 22 June 2016 16:18 (seven years ago) link
the okafor stuff never made sense to me, he just doesn't seem like the type of player (back to the basket post man who can't play defense) the celtics are going after in the stevens era
― J0rdan S., Wednesday, 22 June 2016 16:19 (seven years ago) link
if they wanted a guy like that they wouldn't have turned jared sullinger into a 300 pound stretch 4
― J0rdan S., Wednesday, 22 June 2016 16:20 (seven years ago) link
okafor can shoot and faceup and roll too tho, hes a v skilled scorer, doesnt really need to post up all the time to be effective
― lag∞n, Wednesday, 22 June 2016 16:21 (seven years ago) link
however things like playing defense and passing and knowing what a good shot is have so far eluded him
― lag∞n, Wednesday, 22 June 2016 16:24 (seven years ago) link
sullinger is terrible in the post btw, cant jump, lol
― lag∞n, Wednesday, 22 June 2016 16:25 (seven years ago) link
nerlens would make tons of sense for them as a guy who is a pure roller/alley oop finisher but who can defend the rim out to the three point line on defense. that's the kind of center the rest of the roster is built to accommodate.

if i was danny i'd offer the kings #3 for cauley stein

feel like someone who plays offense would be ideal

thats what kd is for duh
― lag∞n, Wednesday, 22 June 2016 16:32 (seven years ago) link
oh i assumed all of these rumored #3 trades would also have to include an actual rotation player i dont think even the sixers are giving them a real player for it straight up
― ciderpress, Wednesday, 22 June 2016 16:46 (seven years ago) link
we still have the nets pick the next 2 years though so i'm always down with just drafting a high upside guy (bender) and then having a strong team in 5 years rather than now
― ciderpress, Wednesday, 22 June 2016 16:49 (seven years ago) link
there cant possibly be 3 weak draft classes in a row right?????
― ciderpress, Wednesday, 22 June 2016 16:50 (seven years ago) link
this one might not even be weak who knows!
― lag∞n, Wednesday, 22 June 2016 16:53 (seven years ago) link
the nets will prob get a lil better tho via throwing money at third tier free agents
yeah i think theres a reasonable chance that we have a top 5 pick again next yr though. theyre starting from a pretty low point
― ciderpress, Wednesday, 22 June 2016 16:54 (seven years ago) link
tru wldnt be surprised

i'm not sure if hardwood paroxysm is just trolling or what but they theorize a boogie cousins trade http://hardwoodparoxysm.com/2016/06/22/2016-nba-mock-draft-lakers-76ers-ben-simmons-brandon-ingram/?utm_source=twitterfeed&utm_medium=twitter

its been my dream forever but i'd long since resigned myself to it not happening. still don't think it will, but...

if they get boogie durant becomes possible, im not saying remotely likely, but real
― lag∞n, Wednesday, 22 June 2016 17:06 (seven years ago) link
boogie seems very unlikely if they can't get khris middleton but sac front office...
― ciderpress, Wednesday, 22 June 2016 17:08 (seven years ago) link
sac trading away their star for parts with the new arena opening seems like <1% though
― ciderpress, Wednesday, 22 June 2016 17:09 (seven years ago) link
they cld get middleton for the package described in that piece
― lag∞n, Wednesday, 22 June 2016 17:10 (seven years ago) link
thing w boogie is we dont know just how bad his relationship w the org is, its at least pretty bad but it cld be nearing unworkable, maybe hes already demanded a trade who knows
― lag∞n, Wednesday, 22 June 2016 17:27 (seven years ago) link
im sure they want to see if boogie will take to joerger
― J0rdan S., Wednesday, 22 June 2016 17:42 (seven years ago) link
that's the main reason i think it's unlikely - joerger clearly vibes well with dudes who are often known for being prickly (hairston, barnes, z-bo, etc.) and it's not unreasonable to think that could happen in the coming season. the minute it doesn't, tho, sacramento totally starts shopping boogie around the deadline

jeerer will be great w boogie. question is can he shield boog from everything else wrong with the franchise, answer is no, obv
― moistest hoist (Spottie), Wednesday, 22 June 2016 18:06 (seven years ago) link
boogie if ur listening demand a trade to the celtics now thank u
― lag∞n, Wednesday, 22 June 2016 18:08 (seven years ago) link
if teague is gone are the hawks also looking to move millsap? bc if so i'd be willing to part w quite a bit for him
― if young slothrop don't trust ya i'm gon' rhyme ya (slothroprhymes), Wednesday, 22 June 2016 18:49 (seven years ago) link
dont think the hawks are tearing it down cld be wrong tho
― lag∞n, Wednesday, 22 June 2016 19:27 (seven years ago) link
rumor now is they're shopping 12+21 around, i think they just didnt like teague for whatever reason

Schroeder is ready and it seemed like maybe he'd passed Teague
― Matt Armstrong, Wednesday, 22 June 2016 20:42 (seven years ago) link
Oh sorry. Yeah one of the reasons this draft sucks is some guys waited for 17.
― Matt Armstrong, Wednesday, 22 June 2016 20:43 (seven years ago) link
he's a 21 year old euro gotta give him some time im just saying if he turns out to be a quasi-bust it looks like they passed on a bunch of really good players
I think his rookie season went fine considering his role. He had a couple breakout games when they started him. Big thing with him is turnovers. Stan Johnson and Winslow didn't exactly set the world on fire.

Marc Stein @ESPNSteinLine 15m15 minutes agoLeague sources tell @chadfordinsider and me: Philadelphia is ramping up its efforts to acquire tonight's No. 3 overall pick from Boston.
Marc Stein @ESPNSteinLine 13m13 minutes agoNumerous rivals describe Philly as the most active team in circulation ... with a trade involving Nerlens Noel looking more and more likely

Yes would trade
― gis for westbrook shark jump (agent hibachi), Thursday, 23 June 2016 16:10 (seven years ago) link
We're well stocked on 6-5 to 6-8 somewhat above average swing men and also combo/semi point guards, there are glaring spots available for a rim protector/pnr roller, true stretch 4, and generic superstar, turning a mediocre pick into one of those would be a score
― gis for westbrook shark jump (agent hibachi), Thursday, 23 June 2016 16:12 (seven years ago) link
lol philly has disavowed the process but theyre still forced to behave in a process like manner cause the process only bothered to draft frontcourt players

srsly abt to trade their most nba ready player to draft a risky point guard
