    It's gonna be some shit like Connaughton, Quarterman, and a 1st with the signing of Isaiah Austin afterwards.

    Based on what the 76ers need, Crabbe and Napier are the two that could fill some of their holes. They need “shooters” at both SG & PG to spread the floor for their bigs. They probably will want a basket full of draft picks to make this deal with the Blazers getting Noel.

    a "basketfull" picks? no way, they will be luck to get a mid 1st, Noel is going to get paid this summer and the league knows he wants gone from the Sixers

    What about Meyers, would philly be interested? I know they have a logjam at center but Meyers spaces the floor and theoretically could compliment Okafor/Embiid. Something like Meyers, Napier, and a 1st

    They already have Llyasova & Saric that have similar games as Meyers, both are decent shooting bigs. And they have a young kid, Holmes, who looks like he might develop into a decent PF and needs minutes. Plus when Simmons gets healthy, he may get some PF minutes. 76ers are stacked @PF.

    These are just my impressions from only using stats. Anyone please correct me if I am wrong.

    Washington Wizards might blow it up this season. Night the Blazers have interest in Marcin Gortat?

    No. Would have to match salaries. Might as well go after someone younger like John Henson.

    I would trade Meyers and Napier for Henson. Probably Gortat as well. What's his contract situation?

    This is my list, in order. I'm assuming these guys are all available. I'm not listing Cousins because I don't think it's realistic until the offseason.

    1. Noel
    2. Nurkic
    3. Henson
    4. Vucevic
    5. Chandler
    6. WCS
    7. White boys with no swagger (Gortat, Koufus)

    I would also add Gorgui Dieng to your list.

    Let's try for Millsap. If Atlanta are still doing badly around February we should be able to get him for not much. Actually they could use Crabbe as Korver is getting on.

    Im sorry, but im going into reflection mode for a moment...

    I cant help but feel that some of these guys who passed on us are now having second thoughts. Whiteside, Howard, etc. I just wonder if they can imagine what I can imagine with just one of these guys on this team. We could have signed them outright last year.
    This roster is a west conference contender this year and a finals contender next year:

    Dame/CJ/Napier
    CJ/Crabbe
    Harkless/Crabbe
    Aminu/Davis/Vonleh
    Whitside/Plumlee/Leonard

    The age fits and that team could ride together for a long time and gel.

    Fucking snotty too goodies who think they are too good for Portland. One player and we are on the national map for a decade. He could have had max here and cold be winning.

    Frustrating sometimes....

    If Nurkic is actually available, I'd go all in. He's a monster, and DEN clearly doesn't have enough PT for both him and Jokic.

    This is actually a good time to be in the market for Centers. Unfortuantely, most of our trade pieces are also big men.

    Nurkic won't be available. Him and Jokic can play together too as Jokic is pretty versatile and works well as a power forward (he also has the shooting range to stretch the floor). We may as well go for Embiid.

    From what I've read, Denver tried to play them together and it just hasn't worked. Not to mention that even when they're not playing together, Nurkic isn't getting big minutes. For instance, he started last night, with Jokic out due to a wrist injury, and only played 13 minutes. And it's not like he was in foul trouble (only had 2 PFs)--Denver just isn't playing him much anymore.

    It's mystifying, really.
