    Why? It’s basically exactly what Dame said after the season ended.

    I mean people keep saying Siakam is an option with the #3 pick and he's on a one year contract.

    With or without Dame, we are not winning a ring anytime soon unless it’s Gianni or Embiid so why not start the rebuild now?

    I know… and I like both players, but neither worth pick 3… and especially on expiring deals.

    Dame follows Scoot and Amen on IG — didn’t bother to follow Miller…

    If we couldn't get any of the other targets discussed, I would consider 3, Nurk and Simons for #8. Porzingis, Wright and Gafford.

    uh, no. i would not. we give up the two most valuable pieces in the trade while stepping down 5 picks in a 3 player draft?

    horrific idea, sorry.

    We have different valuations. I consider the three WA guys to be the most valuable pieces. Just look at the ORTG and DRTG for all five, its' not close on any of them.

    so valuable that the best they could do was win a whopping 35 games this year with Beal and Kuzma playing well.

    That's something to consider, definitely.
