Somebody suggested Simmons for D'Angelo back in February. I usually don't listen to ESPN recommendations, but......honestly, I liked that one

No thank you, if you are Philly that takes a step back. Russell proved he needed the ball a lot, Philly has someone who needs the ball, plus Russell is unable to handle the pick and roll liken Ben can

"hey guys, my dad said i get to manage a team next savage draft"

Find a new slant

That saga was so ridiculous and satisfying at the same time. #HinkieDiedForOurSins

so well done...not surprising since the creators of zones are sixers fans

DH, I know it had no bearing on tonight's game, but who do you trade Simmons or Embiid?

neither

i dont believe theres a realistic trade out there worth giving up either of them...who is this mythical good young 3pt shooting, shot creating guard that another team is willing to give up?

those are good young team controlled two way players who have superstar potential...if they ever get the right players/executives/coaches around them they could deliver a title

I mean, if you can get anything like the package OKC got for George, for either, I would do it in a heartbeat.

You may be right that no trade package really makes sense, but I'm not sure they're going anywhere with the two of them together. And gun to head - I'm trading Embiid. He's too inconsistent, his focus drifts, he's never been fully healthy and will likely be less healthy as he ages, and I'm just not convinced that you can build a title team around that player type right now. I would quietly shop him and see if you can get a team with some assets looking to make a big splash to go for him. Get a couple picks and either a great young player or a couple good ones.

Here's one that works, according to the ESPN trade machine: Embiid to the Nets in exchange for Spencer Dinwiddie, Caris LeVert, Deandre Jordan, and a future first.

Count of seasons used:
Durant 5
Chandler 5
Drexler 5
Porter 4
Okafor 5
Dalembert 4
Odom 4
Dragic 5
Przybilla 4
Granger 2
Armstrong 1
Ingram 1

I probably should have snagged some 2-3 season studs earlier instead of waiting until the end to do that in retrospect. Odom and Granger were two meh picks. Dalembert isn't blowing me away. Drexler and Porter I keep thinking about, but if I didn't get guards then I would have been really scrambling later I think.

You guys wanna do a 19-20 single season draft? I can run it if needed.

I was also thinking about pulling a list of guys who played in 18-19 but not in 19-20, and adding their 18-19 seasons to the draft pool since we might be a little tight on minutes without them. Most of these guys were out of the league for a reason, so think of them as G-Leaguers/depth

When we have run them the last few years we usually wait until the defense drop. Otherwise it comes in during the middle of the draft and mucks stuff up.

Either way, I am not doing anything until the ODL and SCPL drafts wrap up. I gotta stagger these drafts man.

That’s a good call. Let’s do one in a bit though.

Can’t believe my boy Oliver Miller went undrafted. I know he put on weight but damn. He was pretty useful for me in S1.

too many bad picks. I think this team knocks me out of Tier 1

Concerned is the right answer.

Btw Michael Smith 2 absolutely got drafted because I cussed when I saw that

Oh yeah, I don't think I added the 2 when I recorded the pick.
