The Philadelphia Experiment - Pulmonary Contusion

3 pulls on tankathon.

1, 1 & 4, 2.

I hope Deke hasn't jinxed us.

Embiid's twitter timeline right now

Good stuff, now the decision. Seems like Simmons is going to try and tank his way to the lakers.

Early vote Simmons or Ingram?

He will probably try do a Kobe.

But Brown coached his dad back in the day I think, so who knows.

 

[ioppolo]

Ingram IMO.

I don't know much but think Simmons

 

[Drummer_19]

If we had 1 and 4 I would have liked to have done Ingram and Dunn but since we don't have the laker pick I lean to Simmons since I think he is the BPA and we can work around moving okafor for a decent guard to compliment bens game

 

[danielnajdek]

Wow so we got #1. Surprised Lakers didn't get it tbh.

I'd go Ben but that means we gotta move on one of the bigs.

I see Boston at #3 for Okafor as a pretty realistic possibility, which would still get us a Dunn.

I salivate at the possibility of a Simmons & Embiid paring. But I love Ingram's game and at a full year younger think we've only just started tapping into what he could become.

Worried about Simmons` jumper and him getting into the Rich Paul camp, but right now it's hard to argue that he's not the more talented player and that if he gets a jumper he's the more complete player too.

 

[Drummer_19]

Saric coming over I think is the thing that makes it a really tough decision, drafting Ingram and moving Okafor gives a front court of Nerlens/Saric/Ingram which is pretty damn sexy as far as fit goes, not to mention in a perfect world Embiid is able to play like 20 - 25mins a game and then having Covington come off the bench as a 3+D guy who can play the 3 and 4 in some line ups it starts to become a nice rotation.

Wing creation was such a massive struggle this season since Roco can't really dribble and neither can any of the other guys, would sure be a nice change.

Like him over Simmons or just for Phila fit?

Checking out who we've got on the books next year

PG - McConnell/Marshall
SG - Stauskas
SF - Covington/Grant
PF - Landry/Holmes
C - Embiid/Noel/Okafor

Canaan, Smith, Brand and Wood are out of contract. Hollis has a team option.

You could make a case, albeit a small one to bring back the shooters. Hollis is easy cause we'd be on the hook for just 1 mil. Reckon Colangelo will go the mid-tier vet route however.

24 and 26 will be interesting. Want to see a package for them both to move to mid tier first round. Love the Euros in Luwawu and Korkmaz. Could see either fit straight into the 2 spot.

And yeah 365 days until we seek out that Kings pick swap and Laker pick too

They are pretty even. Brandon has the attitude and shooting. Simmons has more of a handle and passing skills.

You guys desperately need a scorer, a wing and a point. Ingram checks the first two.

Of course if you do look to deal embiid, ja or nerlens I'd rethink things. Nerlens and Simmons would be a great fit

Inevitable that they will, just a matter of when.

lold @ new OP. Nice Warsaw

Also, pick one huh? That's pretty good too I guess.

Not as good as new OP, but still good.

 

[Superstar swan]

Any chance philly trade pick 1? if they intend to use the pick, surely okafor will go

 

[Warsaw]

Shoutout as well to all those who've hung in there. Today was just reward for 3 years of accepted misery.

Very, very, very slim.

The fans would riot if Colangelo's first move was to get rid of pick 1 when Simmons or Ingram are on the table.

not even for an established star like demarcus cousins or anyone of that calibre?

Q: Are you committed to keeping that number one pick or are you open to trading it?
Colangelo: It's pretty obvious that the answer is yes [to keeping it]. A lot of people jumped on the notion that we talked about looking at all alternatives as open to moving the pick. I think, again, you have to look at every single option and everything in front of you. But, the bottom line is, now that we're sitting in the number one position, it changes the dynamic. I think it was more in reference to, what would happen if we ended up with two top five picks, if there was maybe, perhaps, a decision to move one of those. It's highly unlikely that anything is done with the number one pick except selecting the player.

I'd wash my hands and be done with it all if they traded it for boogie.
