    One of Cj's best moves is the fake pull up, then blow by. One of these days he's gonna fake the ref and get called for a carry lol.

    So, can we blame Lorenzo Romar for this? Is this a reason not to draft Markelle Fultz if we get the #1 pick?

    Pretty low trade value unless that is an unprotected 1st.

    Sucks to be the #2 pick. Derrick Williams just got waived, Okafor's getting traded for a future pick and Alex Ajinca. Durant really is a rarity. Sigh.

    That's because he should have been the #1 pick.

    Of course, there's always Aldridge.

    Okafor was #3. Russell was before him.

    Since Ajinca has never been a more than 15 MPG type player, and with minutes restrictions on Joel Embiid, that most likely means Nerlens Noel is off the market - for now. Damn, I wish we could have gotten him before PHI decided Okafor was the young center they should look to trade.

    We have no idea. Just because nothing's being leaked doesn't mean that nothing is happening.

    Well last I heard we weren't gonna go after Noel which was a huge fucking mistake. By the looks up it we don't plan on doing shit. Fucking organization is pathetic

    Likely a significant number of people in the organization always thought that. It was kind of obvious from the outside, so even more on the inside. We just got leaks from the anti-Noel faction.

    Another Noel-like player who seems to be settling in (and thus less likely to be available) is Willy Cauley-Stein.

    I'm no longer really interested in Bogut or Tyson Chandler because I want us to blow up and rebuild.

    Stein is nothing like Noel. Noel has way more upside
