re: Anyone else think that Hinkie may run the risk of devaluing his biggest assets?

Meaning he wants one of these top picks to be a Davis/Kyrie/wiggins/etc type hit

those hits are super rare. a davis comes around once every 10 years or so

kyrie is a flawed arse player who is a 3rd option on a great team at best

we'll see with wiggins

If he thinks okafor could be in that class and say mudiay isn't, he's not going to draft mudiay just because he had embiid already.

then what does that say about embiid? what does that DO to embidd as a player? what does that do to his value?

so basically it punts another draft (2 in a row now with MCW being dealt, noel not doing so hot, and embiid sinking like noel)?

let's assume the absolute best, that the draft works out and okafor is amazing. another AD

the 76ers have okafor and shite (maybe my boy tony wroten). embiid has to get dealt for a pick. and you have to start the charade all over again trying to get lucky, when you're hitting once every 3 years with a suitable player. by that point okafor is approaching RFA when he finally gets a 2nd piece next to him, who will need 2-3 years of development. then he's almost done with that 2nd contract when the next guy is reaching RFA. etc
