I think that's (PHI) a little overboard but you'd definitely get #1 this year and the lakers pic plus a player (okafor likely) maybe two.


Superstars do not get traded. Look at what Min got for Love. AD is 3x the player. PHI would most certainly offer those picks for a potential top 5 player locked up for 5 years on a 25% contract who fits with Embiid and/or Okafor. They could still trade Okafor and have tons of money in FA. You are underestimating the value of a superstar.

I agree. Davis locked in, even at new cap $, is still a fantastic bargain.

#1, the better pick of Sixers/Lakers next year, and at least one of their recent lotto selections would be the baseline for Davis. They still have swap rights to the Kings top 10 pick next year and an unprotected Kings pick in 2019. If they get a GM or management that actually values draft picks, they could pull in a massive haul

Boston just doesn't have the intriguing young guys, but those Brooklyn picks are still enticing (#3, pick swap next year, and 1st in '18). I also think a Lakers offer with Russell, #2 is an interesting start. Wish they had their pick next year or another interesting young guy. Randle, I guess.

Again, hypothetical world here. Not advocating they should do this, but, if they decide to go Hinkie and burn the motherfricker down, would you even consider any of those 3 offers?
