For Evan Fournier and the 56th pick? I would've thought Afflalo had more value than that.

Assumptions: Cavs want Embiid, but don't want to take him at 1 if they think they can get him at 3, plus get another piece. Magic want a PG. Bucks want Parker.

Cavs blink and trade 1 to Sixers for 3 plus Thad (who they're rumored to have wanted at the deadline). Sixers trade MCW and 10 to Magic for 4 and 10.

Draft goes:

1. Sixers take Wiggins (rumored top choice).
2. Bucks take Parker (rumored top choice).
3. Cavs take Embiid (rumored top choice, plus they get Thad, who they're rumored to have wanted).
4. Sixers take Exum.

And of course, Magic get their PG, plus move up from 10 to 12.

Who loses?

PS: At 12 the Sixers take Saric.

Afflalo's trade value not as high as some appear to think. Likely he turns down '15-16 option, making him an expiring now. And Rob Hennigan, ORL GM, is not one to make a deal without doing due diligence w/ all 29 other teams.

Joel Embiid's seriously in play for three spots in top part of lottery: 76ers (3), Celtics (6), Lakers (7), league sources tell Yahoo.

The Kings appear poised to keep the 8th pick, sources said.

Wiggins or Embiid at 3? Yes, fucking please.
Parker at 3? Absolutely.

I would immediately love Gordon, Randle, McBuckets, Stauskas at 10 (or 7 or 12, or wherever).

I'm good with Smart at 7 if we deal MCW.

I'm happy to deal MCW, if Hinkie thinks it's right. He fucking owned the Jrue deal.

Just, please, don't let it be Exum in the top 5, or Saric in the top 15.

Can't even focus on anything else right now.
