I was there at the game winner he hit in the dome.

I haven't seen this Embiid dude,
He looks better than any of them, imo, but he would do well to spend another year in school.

Julius Randle is a double double machine. If we moved Ryno in the offseason, I'd be cool with him.
Jabari Parker is as fluid a scorer that has come along in several years.
Keith Smart might have been #1 overall last year.
They all have promise. I've not yet reached an orgasm, however.

You're acting like this draft sucks as bad as last year.
Nope. It's just not as great as hyped by the know nothing sportswriters and the fan boys.

We better get one of these players, because with the lack of cap room, and God forbid we don't have a change at head coach, and no 1st rounder, Jesus, does it get more depressing than that?
Things aren't as bad as you think. You guys are absolutely nuts if you think we can't make moves, improve our cap space and acquire vets. Seriously. It's not doom and gloom.

I'm going to go out on the thinnest of limbs and guess that those people may have a better idea about the draft more so than a random message board poster who 2 days ago said he hasn't watched much college bball and now says that he has "watched enough".
But frick me, what kind of logic is that?

Ok, what moves can we make that would benefit this team?

Assuming Ryno, Evans, EG, Jrue are all back next year and AD's and Rivers' team options are picked up: the total number is $53,702,934 - the current salary cap for the '13-14 season was $58,679,000.

Meh, based upon history, I'm not so sure.

I don't have a list, sugar britches. I do think that there will be teams that will be itching to acquire just that one piece to put them over the top and that may be willing to give up too much. Happens most every year. Why do you think this roster is so locked up? Haven't you seen some of the moves made in the last few years?

teams may be content with semi-tanking
wait, wtf?
the idea of tanking for the lottery isn't just to increase your chances for the #1 pick, but to guarantee yourself the best pick possible if you're not called for the #1 or #2 or #3 pick
you play hard for the first half of the season to see where you are, then you begin the soft tank if you're not going anywhere. this is where the pels are and guys just won't rush back if they're hurt, etc.
the last few games, if you're in position, THEN you do the hard tank, culminating in signing Mark Madsen to chuck 3's in the last game of the season, even if he hasn't played in years

And with that, you show that you are clearly angry that nobody agrees with you so why continue the conversation?

What the everloving frick?
Yeah, I'm very angry.
Oh, and I'm pretty sure there are a few people that agree with me. I'm going to have fun next season with my "I told you so's".

I can argue that the #5 picked player is as valuable as the #1 this year. There is no clear-cut #1 player. Hence teams won't compete for the worst record, just close to it.

Cuse- Derrick Coleman, Rony Seikaly, Sherman Douglas.
Indiana- Keith Smart, Steve Alford.
Pitino coached Providence.

but you still have to lose as many games as possible for it to happen...
and wouldn't you rather be #2 or #1 anyway to make sure you get the guy YOU want?
Posted on 1/20/14 at 10:33 pm to chalmetteowl
Of course anyone would prefer the #1 pick.
But you have options in a talented-deep draft.
Like I said earlier, if Lebron James was in this draft, EVERYONE near the bottom would tank AS HARD AS POSSIBLE. But because you can still grab Embiid, Parker, Exum, Smart, Wiggins, Randle with any of the top 6 picks, teams may be hesitant to go "full-blown tank mode"

So we're fricked unless we tank and fire Monty. Is that what you're saying? Do you realize how silly that proposition is?

Do you realize how silly the proposition that we could trade Aminu and/or Miller and get something valuable in return is?
Because that's what you are saying in the other thread.

Fire Monty is a given.
I'll half agree with you on your talent evaluation. I'd rather get the pick and trade it( must dump Gordon's contract in the scenario) for another "superstar" i.e. Kevin Love or DeMarcus Cousins.
