There is a lot of truth to this. I know they are stockpiling assets, but they have to make a move sooner or later. If they offered Bledsoe and Monroe the maxs, then got both. They would probably be a playoff team this season. MCW/Bledsoe/Young/Monroe/Noel or Embid is a pretty nice starting 5. Plus they'd still have tons of space, picks and guys stashed overseas..

You're right, but I think they are still planning on giving this season away. Otherwise they wouldn't have drafted Embiid. I think they are banking on getting another top draft pick then making a move next off season; trading picks or young players for a big time player.

Bledsoe and Monroe would make them better yes but the former is injury prone but talented and the latter is a defensive liabilty.

I really think they'll try to turn noel into a 4 and embiid at 5. That's their frontcourt of the future.

It would just be against their MO to go after guys even if they can. They'll probably at best take big contracts on and flip them later when they expire.
