2016 Sixers Offseason Thread

im one of okafors biggest haters and I wouldn't even do that...as much as I dislike his game I think he holds much more value than kris dunn...its not like id be upset if that trade happened...I just think you can get more...maybe one of the celts million first rounders along with #3

no chance id do nn

also I wouldnt worry about dunn and simmons clashing together in terms of ball handling...there are really no positions in the nba anymore...think of simmons being a draymond green but having the ball in his hands more...you can still have two guards on the floor with him....the concern is adding dunn period because of as you mentioned shooting..its just another guy who cant shoot added to a roster full of guys who cant shoot...but as far as meshing with simmons that wouldn't be a concern for me

[SD]

It's not so much just with Simmons, it's that Simmons/Dunn(maybe)/Okafor/Noel/Embiid etc...all guys who need to drive to the hoop or get points in the paint. They need some guys who can hit from the outside. I mean, their best outside shooter is probably Embiid (take Covington out of the mix since he's a bench player)

yeah shooting has been an issue for three years....its what happens when you draft all big guys and mcw

on the entire roster they have one shooter....and that's covey

[phattymatty]

sadly hollis is the best shooter on the team.

i'm not one of those nerds who say that oak's game doesn't work in today's nba...i just don't like his game.  he's not gonna get faster and at this point in the sixers rebuild you can't focus on someone who's going to slow everyone else down.  but he also probably has the most trade value . i'm with iggy, not sure i'd love oak for the #3 straight up but for 3 plus another pick or even like an avery bradley or smart or something, i'd do it.

also i'd pick murray over dunn at #3 anyway.

agreed. he can shoot the rock. yea I know some critics have questioned if murray is nba ready over his quickness, and athleticism, but I like his overall offensive skill-set.

Simmons is the guy at 1 - reports coming out they've informed him he will be the pick

He worked out in Philly this morning.

I love in that article where it says "embiid is considered a key to the 76ers future"

[smeags]

I know the powers to be will try to spin it their way, but how can anybody not give hinkie his kudos ? especially if they somehow get simmons & murray out of this draft.
