    As much as it sucks to say this....

    Just tank the season 76ers style and hope for a top 3 pick.

    I don't think Boozer would sign here :)

    OKC reportedly shopping PJIII for cheap. Very talented but a knee injury cost him and he's never really recovered. Still has talent, just needs to figure it out.

    We don't know what we have except at PG.

    McCollum could bust out.

    Aminu could take the next step.

    Vonleh could reach his potential.

    Nards could continue to improve.

    Plumlee could become another version of Lopez.

    There's a lot of potential on this roster. We'll see how much of it pans out.

    Best keep as much cap space as possible, see who pans out and use it to fill in the pieces that don't.

    Probably what's next on the agenda would be the fans struggling to pick new players to hate on...that's my prediction. I like every guy we have so far.

    Honestly the only FAs left that somewhat interest me are Kanter, Jordan Hill, and Cory Joseph. I like Gerald Green too but I can't see Olshey signing him.

    The more likely scenario is a trade.

    Plumlee starts at the 5..Leonard at the 4..Kaman and Davis come off the bench. Vonleh plugs in for either position and probably finishes games after Kaman is gassed

    I only see one real option for this roster this year. They have to suck to protect their first round draft pick and they're well positioned to do just that. It won't take much, all they have to do is give Lillard the ball and let him chuck it up 25 times a game with 2 or 3 defenders on him at all times and then let all of these other unproven types get a baptism by fire.

    The only question I have is do we win more than 25 games in a stacked Western Conference?

    Can this team win a single game if Lillard gets injured?

    Even the Sixers managed to win games with their abortion of a team the past few years.

    We only have 3 players in the backcourt. We need a Shooting Guard.
