    It's a shame that the Blazers didn't have a couple players that a poorly run franchise didn't want to grossly and stupidly over pay for.

    We could make the ECF that conference is weak.

    As far as the #1 pick. We didn't get offered unprotected BKN picks. The one time we got offered a BKN we turned it into Damian Lillard.

    Sixers should now do everything in their power to get another pick this year to get Malik Monk (offer their 2018 pick unprotected and Okafor for no. 8?) or try and get Gary Harris from Denver. Denver have Harris and Murray to develop at SG and will have to pay Harris a lot next year so may want to flip him for good assets. Basically get a shooter to play next to Markelle Fultz.

    Unless they just want to wait another year, tank a bit more and get their hands on Luka Doncic or try to get Klay Thompson from Golden State if it becomes apparent that they cannot give him that max deal and he won't stay for less.

    I love their potential. People will see Fultz/Simmons/Embiid as the core but you cannot overlook the fact how good supporting cast of Covington/Sarič/Holmes is. I like both lineups of Simmons at SF and Saric at PF and the with Covington at SF and Simmons at PF.
