The Process

[Don Ho]

Will it help ease the pain on my brain from watching the Phillies?  Jack and Cokes ain't cuttin' it.

Translation:  Temper those expectations tonight.

Beal's staying put too. Think they'll trade 28 and Hill for something and that's that for tonight. Morey's not getting a Harden type deal.

[phattymatty]

I really don't see what moves the needle trading Hill and 28.  Might as well just draft and keep someone at 28, should be some solid guys there. 

Ben is not getting traded tonight. 

[rjs246]

Yeah I don't see the need to trade Hill. He's a fine bench veteran. If anything trading tonight's picks for future picks might make sense but aside from that I don't see why they'd trade Hill.

[SD]

Hill has an expiring contract next season and was garbage in the playoffs. If they can package 28 with him for an upgrade it would make sense

[rjs246]

He was garbage after being out for two months on a new team. I'm willing to cut him a little slack. He's a vet who can do a little bit of everything off the bench. That doesn't grow on trees. I'm not opposed to packaging him up and trading him but it's not high on my list of priorities.

[SD]

He played fine during the regular season when he came back. He was god awful in the playoffs. They don't need more end of the bench players like Paul Reed. Pick 28 loses all value once they make a selection.

[phattymatty]

I wanted Bones but Jared Butler would be a great fit here.

Jaden Springer

And he can't shoot

[rjs246]

I just read a bunch of shtein shtein saying that he was a good shooter but I've never seen the dude play. Or if I did I don't remember him.

Here's what I've found to this point:

1. win now mode. 
2. draft youngest player in draft
3. steal underpants
4. profit

[phattymatty]

I guess the "Morey doesn't use his draft picks" line is over.

In the grand scheme of things three low picks is no big deal but I was really expecting some type of excitement.  A promising 3 and D guy and a euro stash doesn't seem to be ideal.  Bassey could be a steal though, that dude was a projected lottery pick two years ago before he decided to stay.

everything dies when it comes to Philly....just add Daryl morey to the list
