    are you aware that teams can make trades in the nba? doesn't seem like you are
    of course but juggler isn't saying they are going to make the playoffs in two years based on a supposed trade. with the players they have now and the draft picks to come they aren't making the playoffs in the next two years. no fucking chance.

    for sure looks like a great situation ... the only thing i would say is that basketball isn't like hockey or baseball ... you only play 10 guys of which your top 5 get most of the run ... within that top 5 - you need 2.5 elite talents (0.5 elite being your 6th man) and role players ... you also need continuity ... if this was hockey/baseball ... i'd say you are set up for a nice long run ... but because of salary caps and the smaller roster - the window to figure this out isn't as long as you think ...
    of course. All of the assets and the foundation that Hinkie built gives them numerous options on how to build their roster. They definitely won't be using all of those picks, but it gives them flexibility and options to make moves.

    I can't wait to see Embiid this year. I still think he's going to be an absolute monster

    Embiid hasn't played in 2 years and only played 1/2 season in college. If healthy i agree he has a chance to be a stud but it's going to take time for him to get acclimated to the NBA. If healthy I still think it takes him 2-3 years to become a really good NBA player.

    you're also the guy who loved aaron gordon coming out of Arizona. Soooo...yeah

    The East stinks, fella. OKC and Twolves are in the west. And I don't care if only a few teams won less than 30 games. Winning 20 more than the previous year while finally getting to see the likes of Embiid, Saric and Simmons and others will be immensely more fun to watch than the previous few years. Wins and losses take a back seat to seeing what these guys can do finally.....just like with the Phillies this year.

    And, yeah I can see them being a playoff team in a couple years. It's not difficult to make the playoffs in the east.

    still like him. He's only played a year and half because of injury. still think he is going to be a very good NBA player.


    do you really think Embiid is going to dominate after not playing for 2 years? i mean the consensus when healthy at Kansas that he was still going to be a bit of a project in the NBA because of his lack of experience. i guess in your mind that has changed after sitting out 2 years.

    Yes I am. I am fully expecting this roster to look vastly different in a year or two after they figure out which pieces fit and which pieces don't. The point is they have an abundance of ways to get better and get better quicker than narrow minded people like you think.

    you said gordon would be better than Randle, which has next to no shot of happening. This will bring your accuracy record around here to 0 - 3,927,792. An amazing achievement. Congrats.

    I think Embiid has all star potential.

    I agree on Embiid's potential I just think it is going to take time because of his lack of experience and playing time. To think he is going to be great right off that bat after missing 2 years is just not realistic.

    IF/when they make a trade or free agent signing then i will readjust my line of thinking to go with the roster but as of now thinking playoffs in 2 years is just setting yourself up to be severely disappointed.

    i'd take gordon over randle easy ... gordon's ceiling higher than randle ... sometimes it's about system and opportunity ... playing under skiles is no easy thing ... now, that he's gone ... that should allow gordon to grow ...

    ill tell you what since you are so fucking smart put your money up on your prediction of the playoffs in 2 years. Let's bet a $500 donation to the others persons favorite charity on the Sixers making the playoffs in the next 2 years. If you are so confident feel free to take the bet.

    Completely disagree. Gordon can't shoot to save his life. He's more athletic than Randle, but Randle is a better all around player.

    Randle won't have Kobe in his way this year. Kobe was more detrimental than Skiles

    3 out of the last 4 years a team in the east has made the playoffs with 38 wins. The Pacers got in with 37 wins in 2011. The eastern conference blows. Sure I'll take your dumb bet.

    Okafur to Lakers for 2nd pick rumors. Would you do that? I wouldn't even think twice.

    Gordon's overall shooting percentage and 3 pt shooting was higher this year than Randle's.

    Gordon 47.3% Fg% - 29.6% 3Pt% - 66.8 FT%
    Randle 42.9% Fg%, - 27.8 3Pt%,- 71.5 F%

    Don't we need to see Embiid on the court before you trade Okafor?

    Gordon has better stats than Randle pretty much across the board except for pts and rebounding which is tied to playing time ...

    Okafor for "the other guy" ... no doubter ... think the potential "off court" issues is what tilts this into the for sure category ...
