Trying to create space to add significant FA and every dollar counts. Trading guaranteed 1st RD pick and Jones saves them 4 million.
Here's another gem of a ridiculous rumor - Heat trade the 10th pick just to unload Josh McRoberts contract in order to give Dwayne Wade more money. Teams don't give away top 10 picks just to unload money to sign a breaking down old man. Who in the hell would possibly believe Miami would make such a deal.
Not as crazy as you think when teams want to unload salary and have space to do something significant this summer. They need to pay Wade, possibly Dragic, Deng, and add another player.
Not saying it will happen, but Heat want to try and win now. The #10 pick doesn't help that.
Yea, he was way off. When Ford tweets his stuff you don't need to have insider.
He's had the Sixers going Porzingus all along and changed it this morning to Russell. Never to the Lakers.
Lol yeah i'm gay because black athletes don't usually go to cold cities? Toronto, minnesota, boston, detroit, etc. Not Free agent destinations traditionally.
You're a loser and always have been. Don't know who you are but you are the butt of all your friends and families' jokes
Full Marx is still angry about the time he got a boner watching football and yells about gay hipsters to convince the world he's a real man
If Russell goes 2 just take Okafor. If Embiid CAN play you can always trade 1 of the 3 bigs for a stud guard later. If Embiid cant play you have your insurance policy.
They cant even trade back to take Mudiay b/c he probably doesnt last past 4th and the Knicks have absolutely nothing to trade you to flip flop picks with them. So...take Okafor if he's there.

There is a shortage of really good big men, most teams are forced to go small because good small guys are easier to find. The Spurs won a bunch of titles centered around Duncan. The Grizz are a force with Gasol-Zebo. The Clippers are rising with DeAndre-Griffin. Really good bigs are hard to find but there's plenty of good teams in the NBA who are big man oriented. Just because the Cavs have arguably the best player of all time and the Warriors have unreal shooters doesnt change that.
Okafor commands constant double teams and is a great passing big who finds open men. What Noel and/or Embiid do? Block shots. They already have a rim protector, dufus.
There's nothing wrong with his rebounding. What are you talking about? Admittedly his D sucks. Again, he'll be playing next to an ace big at the rim. You are really nitpicking here. Jesus Christ. He's the most skilled post player to come into the league in years.
He cannot jump and won't be a great rebounder T NE t level. It worked because he was just bigger in college. He didn't win a single jump ball last year. I get you had to make th pick there but he a terrible fit in Philly. He will not be good pro this was worst case for us

Gasol/Z, Griffin/DeAndre: not even a conference finals appearance.
Duncan was a special talent. Sure fire star. Was getting buzz as a possible #1 pick as early as his sophomore year. Can't relly on that example.
