The Sixers couldn't trade 3 in a weak draft for Noel this year, there's absolutely no way they're getting it in this next draft.

Nets pick isn't guaranteed to be top 3. At the very least, Danny Ainge also couldve really liked Jaylen Brown compared to other prospects. The Sixers could add in players like Covington and Grant, and the cavs could also throw in other offers.

I don't think it would happen, Ainge isnt the type of guy who trades draft picks away, but an owner who wants to win now may force his hands. There have been far stupider trades in basketball

Isn't Noel a restricted free agent in a year?

ye, hence why I said I'd doubt it would happen unless he agreed on some type of extension.

Im pretty sure JC will probably shit the bed though and end up getting Marcus Smart + RJ Hunter for him ;-;

Even if he agreed on an extension they shouldn't give up the pick. Everything Noel has said makes it seem like he wants to come to Boston. Why not just wait for him to hit free agency and see if the Sixers are willing to match a huge deal for him when they have a million other centers?

Because instead of holding the rights to a player and having all the ability in the world to resign a player as opposed to competing with 28 other teams for him. Holding a player restricted free agency right is way more valuable then if he was just a regular old free agent. But then again, in my proposal, you guys would be getting Kevin Love.

I dont think any of the Sixer's bogs will be traded until the trade deadline when teams will be more desperate anyway.

I understand the value of having a players rights going into restricted free agency, I just don't think it's worth such a potentially good pick. Especially when the guy in question has given a lot of indications that he would like to play in Boston. As for Love, I've already said how I feel about giving up the Nets pick for him.

 

[Ninja Scooter]

Noel and Thompson cannot play together. That would be an awful move for Cleve.

end of an era

 

[Cornbread78]

My line-ip is close to coming true...

Thomas
Bradley
Crowder
Horford
Noel

They would be pissin' off the league defensively.

 

[LyleLanley]

I think

Thomas
Bradley
Crowder
Olynyk
Horford

could be a better combination of offense and defense.

 

[panthapanda]

I don't get it

Im an idiot.

Being serious here. I'll miss this guy. Love Sacre.

 

[darkwing-buck]

I don't get it

Jaylen Brown/First round 3rd pick would've been in the Nets hands if they hadn't done that deal with Boston that crippled their franchise a couple years ago.

America's going to end up getting bronze. I think it's time for me to be a two team fan in the Olympics.

 

[Fjordson]

I haven't watched the game yet, but Warriors twitter is saying Klay is doing his best Harrison Barnes impression.

I think that K did rather have his next year's Duke team out there playing.

Almost not kidding.

The guy who everyone was making fun of for dressing in the complete MJ uniform got a bunch of stuff and a phone call from MJ himself.

Michael Jordan sent two boxes of gear to Jeffrey Harrison after seeing video of him playing hoops in his MJ uniform.

Thats cool

Yeah until you find out MJ just called him up to call him a bitch.

 

[Ninja Scooter]

Jordan has ulterior motives. He's gonna hire the guy to show up to fantasy camps in his place so that he can go off and gamble instead

 

[Andrew Korenchkin]

You know that man is Autistic. I don't think MJ would even think about being a douche to that guy.

 

[UnObtainium17]

World teams putting up some good competition, you can really tell they want to prove their keep up against NBA players...

 

[Fjordson]

Klay on fiyah, finally showing up in Rio.

Coach K seems oddly hesitant to play his best lineups, though. Like why bring Draymond if you aren't going to lean on him at center? Stubbornly sticking with Deandre and Boogie. Also needs to play DeRozan as little as possible.

Coach K's rotations are also kinda ass.

tristan for melo

 

[Fjordson]

Man Team USA's defense is surprisingly terrible. Even plus guys on that end like Paul George and Klay are playing lazy.

 

[darkwing-buck]

Has Butler been sucking or something? I barely see him out there, and also wtf has draymond made a single basket these past three games?

Hey don't you feel for bad for you boy Barnes though.
He is the dude that is glued to the bench lately

Young sensed “good vibes” after talking with Walton a “couple of times” about his possible role. But does that mean the Lakers might plan on keeping Young? “I left the conversations feeling good. But at the end of the day, I don’t know,” Young said. “We’ll see. I hear so much. You don’t know what to believe.”

Ninja lol

[darkwing-buck]

What do you guys think Harden will average next season under Mike "7 seconds or less" D'antoni?

 

[Hitta93]

25/9/6.

 

[panthapanda]

25/9/6.

And 12 turnovers a game.

 

[Hitta93]

There' a chance, but will probably be his best season with turnovers considering he's never play in a structured offense his whole career.

They'll surprise a lot of people, but it's heavily dependant on health. Also hope they pull the trigger on the rumored Rudy Gay trade.

It's not the best put together roster. They needed more shooters.

 

[WesternHeretic]

Yea I knew that when I first saw the roster but still I figured raw athleticism will allow them to shit on any other team on the defensive side.

Yall see James Harden play defense yet?
