I think that Okafor and Towns are out of the question but it seems no one has mentioned moving up one spot to 3rd. Is it really that far-fetch'd given Mudiay and Russell's respective talents? Russell may have the edge but if we could compensate them with additional assets, I'd have to think that they'd bite. After all, Hinkie's M.O. now is to collect as many first rounders as possible. So if we were to reach a tentative agreement for another 1st round pick in the 20s, would the Sixers bite?

doesn't make sense to - Philly may want the player that they end up getting (one position later).

If we covet one (Russell vs/ Mudiay), we're probably better just playing up in the press how much we like Mudiay & how awesome he performed.

why not trade with the Lakers if Towns is picked number 1 and they want ok4? Their is little chance Philly will take ok4 so it would be smart for the Lakers to trade back and get some compensation as well.

jeanie needs to stand by her man and give him a gift.

It all depends on who wants who and who wants it bad enough!

can we trade Dolan?
Nixluva is posting triangle screen grabs, even when nobody asks - Fishmike. LOL So are we going to reference that thread like the bible now? "The thread of Wroten Page 14 post 9" - EnySpree

Towns is the only player in this draft i'd trade up for but we don't have the assets to be trading up and would most likely have to give up future draft picks.

Melo is a pretty solid asset. He's friends with Kobe, he has 5 years left near his prime, he could attract Rondo to LA. We might not get Towns, but the #2 is pretty darn good.

Nevertheless, I'm staying at #4 and snagging Mudiay (or Russell if he drops).

I believe we would have to include a young player who Philly really likes instead of a low first round pick. If we were talking about trading the 6th and 7th pick that would seem doable. If THJ didnt have such a dismal sophmore season we might be able to garner their interest.

I don't follow what you're saying.

I'm sure Philly will have a preference as to which PG they'd want but that doesn't make the other chopped liver. So if their preference is our necessity (Russell), why not just throw some additional assets at them so that we end up with the only player that fits for us?

Trading with the Lakers definitely crossed my mind. Personally, I don't see Okafor and Randle meshing especially well, which could make them inclined to trade down and pick up additional assets. But should Okafor/Randle be a poor fit, I think it is far more likely they simply trade Randle than forego a surefire talent like Okafor. I just don't know if we have the kind of assets necessary to tempt them though. I wouldn't be upset though if Phil demanded an early wedding present from Jeanie.

You're not getting 15 years of Jahlil Okafor for 4 years of Carmelo Anthony.

What about THJr and a late first rounder in addition to our pick? I definitely think that Russell is the better player but Mudiay is no slouch. And unlike our situation, the Sixers don't necessarily have a system that marginalizes/handicaps Mudiay so why not go with him and whatever you could get?

How much would it take to move up to 3? I assume we'd have to take on McGee's contract and give up at least one of your young players.

probably the 2018 pick and McGee.

edit. Elfrid Payton(10) and Dario Saric(12) were traded last year and it only cost the Magic a 2017 pick. That was two spots so maybe it would be a 2018 1st or Mcgee's contract not both. There is a chance its even less since its a one spot move.

The Orl/Philly trade makes me think NY/LAL could actually do a deal.

Like the Twolves didn't get 15years of Wiggins for 1 year of Kevin Love?

They waived McGee after the deadline and can no longer move the money he is owed.

Oh crap. Then it's really hard to imagine how we'd move up. Maybe if we offered our 2018 annd 2020 1st round picks

Love was 25 when they made the trade. At the time, the Cavs probably were hoping to get 8 or so years out of him. Obviously it didn't work out like planned (though Wiggins hasn't impressed me either).

Kevin Love was 26 years old at the time. That makes him 5 years Melo's junior. That's 5 additional seasons of allstar basketball. Big difference. And most importantly, the Cavs thought they'd be getting much more than a season from Kevin Love.
