    You should just tank again and try to get Wiggins in 2014 cause this draft class is weak as ?

    dog. its bad enough if we somehow end up picking 4th. but if we get Otto Porter with that pick, then ? i don't even know. he's like our last top pick, MKG, except with an offensive game. so we'll see. I'd rather have a true SG if they let Henderson walk. Dude from Kansas or Shabazz, he's just gonna have to lose his freshman 15. But we need an offensive minded C/PF not named Byron Mullins. and i feel bad for whoever takes Noel. He won't be a bust but he wont warrant a first overall pick

    So we're the only team in the playoffs with a lotto pick? Coo.

    I think our pick will be higher than 11 tho.

    Nikkas better pray for Meniscus tears next year....

    Yea i was listening to bill simmons talk about how the team that drafts Noel is going to be without him for half of the regular season so its sort of like your tanking but still getting the best player in both drafts. Wiggins is nice but that draft class is deep with talent. Kentucky might go undefeated next year lol especially if they land wiggins

    Mclemore is a perfect fit for the your team. Dude doesn't need the ball to be effective and seemed to disappear in the big moments but you have kemba for that.

    I honestly thought the '09 Draft was weak leading up to it. And I wasn't the only one. ? changes when the games start. *shrug*

    i think this draft is going to be similar to the 09 draft in that exact way. People can ? on this draft all they want but i like a lot of these prospects. Watch the Spurs trade 2 second round picks for Shabazz smh

    I hated the Harden pick. And I still do. Still think we should've worked something out to move up to #1 and get Blake.

    depends on what they're looking for. I think he can be a superior deandre jordan best case scenario. Worst case? Probably a more athletic thabeet lol. Besides Mclemore, Noel, and Oladipo I'm not really high on any of these players

    Noel to Philly could ONLY work if we got Big Al Jefferson in the offseason to cover him offensively. They could be a legit Z-Bo/Gasol-like combo in the East.

    Outside of this, if the Sixers draft another tweeter/shooter in the first round, I'm buying a Brook Lopez jersey and cutting my ? losses. ? is a waste, and they know....and they keep doing it.

    We're in the best position in the lottery obviously. Cause we're the only team that won't *need* our pick to "save" us. In fact, if our pick is actually good, the league will have to break us up.

    I want a Big, but Home-Depot will do fine too.

    Contrary to dumb-? belief, we DO NOT need another guard. Definitely not with this pick. Our weakness the last 3 years has been our bigs and that's obvious for anybody that knows b-ball.

    We get a decent Big that can consistently drop like 15 and 8 to go along with Collie and Ibaka, it's a problem.


    I also got the feeling we might use it as trade bait too. If we don't make it to the WCF or Finals, I think Presti will do a blockbuster with those 2 first round picks and a player.
