had they lost game 6 in Boston 2 years ago, Riley would've blown it up.
Had San Antonio made their free throws in game 6, Riley would've blown it up.
The possibility of splitting up the big 3 has been very real since they blew it in '2011.
True, but the difference now is that LeBron is going to be a free agent again after this season. To me, that makes it more likely the team can break up, since it won't have to be through trades, etc. LeBron (and I think Bosh?) can just walk if he wants.

Looking way ahead, Embiid is probably ruled out because of Noel.
Don't ask me to decide between Bari and Ender. Bari may fit the Sixers better, a true #1 scorer with a lethal jumper is needed.

I doubt very seriously the Sixers would pass on Embiid for Noel if he was the top player on their board.
If anything they'd probably look to pair them since Embiid projects to be a two way player unlike Noel.

Move Nerlens to the 4. I could see it if Embiid is truly the top prospect on Philly's board.
MCW - Turner - Thad - Noel - Embiid

Sixers definitely ain't passing on Joel
Embiid and Noel :x
Two of the most rangy/fast/agile 7 footers out there, No Fly Zone. Plus MCW at the 1, so much length and athleticism defensively.
Definitely see them picking Bari though if Embiid is gone, they need shooting to stretch the floor.

philly potentially has two top 10 picks this year. as long as NO's pick doesn't land in the top 5.
imagine if they never traded away vucevic and harris too
strong young core.

I'm telling you barring injury, Philly will be very good in 2 years.

Bucks need a lot of things.
If I'm Philly I trade Turner and make a move for Exum. Turner stock as high as its going to be

Again, he's still going on like 400+ games in 4 years by the time the playoffs roll around.
He's already nearing 32,000 minutes in the reg season with another 6,000 playoffs. That puts him at almost 40,000 minutes by the time May rolls around.
And he's not yet 30.
And none of that includes Olympic games/practices/all star games/preseason games/summer workouts
The point is, he's at ASTRONOMICAL numbers in an 11 year span, and Wade is out here takin vacations the last two years.
At some point, it catches up. And if my dumb *** can see this kind of stuff, I am fairly sure Indiana (led by Larry Bird, who felt first hand in 1987 what a 4th straight trip to the Finals feels like) will be loading up on LeBron to make sure they run him into dust.
Physically, I'm sure he'll be in great shape and ready to go, but at some point, legs get weary. The tank empties at some point, and if he doesn't get some serious rest soon, ala Wade, his reserve will be less in May-June than what he's had the last 2-3 years.
The Indy players have younger legs, a lot fewer games played the last 4 years, a ton less minutes, no Olympics, etc etc.
You think none of that comes into play, at all? Guys can just play with the same energy level in game 400 as game 50? :\

Exum is a fit but Embiid is the last prospect they need. Greek Freak, Henson, Sanders.Stern or Adam silver need's to make sure the bucks get joel embiid or dante exum
They badly need to upgrade their backcourt from Knight and Juice.
I've wanted to move Turner and Thad for a while now. Not sure what Sam Hinkie is waiting for.

interested to see...
what the knicks will do with this whole melo relationship. do they continue to rebuild and tweak the roster as he remains the focal point or blow it all up.
omer asik. is he hurt or rockets not even risking him as they still continue to find a taker
C's definitely dont mind tanking and getting a high pick but they are playing competitive ball, same goes with raptors, jazz, and a few others

This. I'm sure Philly already is on the phones looking for deals for Turner and/or Young, but they don't need to be in a hurry. They can wait until closer to the deadline to see if teams might be willing to buy a bit higher than maybe they're inclined to do now. Both those guys could be nice pieces for teams that are close to contending.

knicks need to pull the trigger imo
rockets need to do the same
c's will say they arent tanking but end up with a high pick
