wat you thought it was


I thought we'd be more interested in winning more games this year, but I guess I was delusional.

Looks like Noel will play 55 games, and maybe we'll pick up some garbage heap guys before the offseason is done, and we'll potentially be in a worse position than we were at the start of last year (based on relative youth of our young guys vs relative value of Big Spence and ET).

I'll speak definitively once the off season is over, but why at this point is the only place we can find young talented, market inefficient assets the draft and undrafted castoffs? Ed Davis just signed for a mil each. That's a good deal for a decent young player. There's no good deals to be had that don't dramatically affect our draft position but still make us more watchable and in a better position 2 years from now?

ed davis would have been a good dice roll, sure. anyone else in mind? i don't see a lot of interesting pieces floating around

id try to pick up a min salary 2 guard who is NBA caliber but other than that, idk

we got ourselves so worked up with all the lin/boozer talk but hinkie will still have a chance to be a facilitator/provider of cap space at the deadline for teams looking to make moves

it will suck not being able to see a new first rounder and we've discussed saric pick a lot

BUT

is there anyone in here who wants to argue that it was a big mistake to take embiid at 3?

jeff didn't want to answer Q that when he was going on his bitch tirade a while ago

if the answer to that Q is no, then we're just bitching that embiid got hurt

Embiid is definitely a good risk, although I do find his twittering worrisome, as it may be indicative of a lack of focus. TBF, at 19 I did a lot of gravity bongs out of dirty tubs so I'm not being judgmental, just selfish when it comes to my Sixers fix.

I'd have been cool with Davis, Bledsoe, Marion, JIMMER, VC, Jameer, probably some others...2 year deal...team options, etc.

Doesn't Noel count as a new first rounder? Seems to me watching him block fools all season long is worth it.

i don't think carter or marion were signing with crapola teams at this stage in their careers

jameer, no thanks. i'll stick with wroten/casper at backup PG

bledsoe i've put in my .02 about

i like ed davis and i'm pretty sure i mentioned him about a month ago as someone we should look at but LA is a cool place

jimmer...sure, why not

How about if I told you there was a former #2 pick, Naismith Player of the year, one of the "best wing players in the league" available? Would you believe me? Well what if I told you this guy helped his team got off to a 3-0 start, and LEAD his team in scoring?
