Sixers-Pelicans Lottery Thread

@PatGallen_975: Yahoo, Woj: " Phila. has had discussions with teams about gathering an additional pick between its two current choices at No. 3 and No. 10."

I'm Deke in the geico commercial swatting Embiid pictures and saying "no no no hahaha"

@EliotShorrParks: Ilgauskas played in 29 games over the 3 seasons after injury. Yao in 82 of a possible 246 games. ESPN said "no worse" injury for a big man

I pass on Embiid. You gotta get something out of tanking this season, unless he gets a 100% bill of health they need to move on. I was adamantly against trading #10 and #3 for Wiggins but if that's what you gotta do than go for it. Cleveland knows they'll still be able to get him at #3 assuming they still want him. They're not falling out of the top 3 and Mil isn't making a trade to move up one spot so we're really their only trade partner.

No to 3/10. 

Max I go is 3/Thad/future protected first.

3/10 is insane....protected 1st is a worthy gamble. you gotta figure by the time it vests the sixers will be good and it will be a 20something pick.

Before the tourney I was 100% on board with Embid if he was available at 3. After his back, I was cautiously optimistic and would have been ok with him at 3 assuming Wiggins was gone. Now you've got a 7 footer with back and foot injuries?  No thanks. His size and skillset is tempting, but backand foot injuries cripple big men far worse than they do anyone else.  I'd pass on him unless he falls to 10.

Either move up to 1 to get Wiggins with a 3/Thad/future 1 proposal or even trade down a couple spots.

Good point made on the radio earlier...Hinkie was in Houston when Yao was dealing with the same issue. So he knows how bad it can be for a big man with foot problems.

[SD]

Wiggins and/or Parker aren't dropping to 3...so they're either getting an injured ass Embiid or Exum. They're not taking Thad and a bunch if seconds.

[smeags]

do the cavs or bucks need/want exum where a trade for #3 & futre 1st/#10 would make sense ? im not sure thad plus anything makes anyone give up #1 or #2.

This will never happen, but that doesn't mean we can't dream, right?

really thats an incredibly shallow point.....yao was 7'6 310 joe-el is 7'0 240.....yao was a guiness book of world records kind of human who always has health problems....and hinkie magic knows this even if online basketball people dont

stop with the madness of the internet....if you don't want embiid then fine that's a valid take...but for christ sake if one more person brings up yao ming im gonna flip out

[smeags]

 yao ming yao ming  yao ming !!

If Embiid falls to 10 you take him and you pray especially if they manage to get something else between 3 & 10.

[Eagles_Legendz]

there is <1% chance embiid gets to 10
