I would love to trade Ryan now that he's on his usual early season hot streak. His value is highest right now.
Let's not Wait til he starts cooling off and his glaring weakness on defense is all we talk about.


Yeah, maybe we can get a pick back that we can use to possibly hit on the stretch 4 in the draft that gentry's system needs if we're lucky.

Channing Frye is the 10th man in Orlando and they're paying him $7.5 per for the next 2 years. If we can find a good trade for Ryno it doesn't seem crazy that we could get Frye for free if the cap space would work. Frye has worked in Gentry's system before and is shooting 45% from 3 this year.

Not against trading Ryno, but the Pels would then have no bigs on the roster currently worth a shite.

I don't know that Anderson will bring back a decent big to soak up his minutes.

Me thinks you dont watch college basketball, and or dont know what you are talking about!

This draft has some REALLY GOOD PLAYERS.

Me knows plenty about about college basketball. Yes, there are good prospects in this draft.

NONE of them, other than Simmons and maybe Skal, are worth blowing up a season, roster, and wasting Davis' year 22 season for a shot at.

I mean, people do understand what Simmons is talking about when he says "pull a 97 Spurs," right?

It means blowing up the roster and sending Davis home for the season like the Spurs did with Robinson.

Are people really willing to let 22 year old Anthony Davis watch this season from his sofa for a shot at Jaylen Brown or Jamal Murray? Come on.

And it's a LOTTERY,there's a 75+ percent chance you don't get #1 if you're sixers level bad. There's also a chance you pull a bulls and land #1 with 30+ wins

I mean there's been a ton of studs gotten in the mid 1st(kawhi/gobert/giannis/Butler/Ibaka etc) its not a big deal if you wind up with the 11th-14th pick. Tanking is the antithesis of the culture this team is trying to build.

It's a cheap role player you can develop in any case which we need.
