Curious to see what team trades for Lance Stephenson. Don't like Lance but I thought it was a good move for Charlotte but I was completely wrong.

I'm taking Philly to cover tonight
Anything's possible. The Spurs did lose in the preseason to that German team afterall.

76ers should be fined $1m each game smh, it's just annoying at this point since it's so obvious. The league needs to seriously do something about this.

They covered against Portland too, so it wouldn't surprise me

I thought missing out on Hayward and picking up Lance was a better fit...boy was I wrong.

The 76ers are running their team like I run my franchise on 2K. Sign the lowest rated free agents, develop them, get the top pick 2 years in a row and beast in the 3rd season.

Don't yall think its wrong that the Spurs resting Parker and Duncan today?
I know it's against the worst team, but you guys have to realize when big teams come to arenas, tickets costs more than usual for people to see these star players (ex: philly vs Spurs costs more than philly vs Orlando) It's a slap in the face for Spurs fans in the philly area.

Either the League does something to the spurs resting they players or hush up about teams tanking everybody trying to get over.

Even though Harden has shot poorly from the field he's still at almost 58% TS. It's almost comical.
He's also been low-key solid defensively this year aside from a handful of his signature embarrassing plays where it looks like the controller got disconnected.

I actually think they've been trying to win the last 3-4 games. Since its a given theyre gonna have the worst record but dont wanna make it too obvious.
Theyre gonna try to win games from now on I think. Not sure they can win doe seeing as how terrible the roster is

I dunno about tanking. NO ONE plays to lose. You're basically telling a team to fake night in and night out? No fun in that, and the mental abuse that comes along with it.

players arent tanking or losing on purpose. the team isnt that good and that's on the front office. phil jackson could be the coach and this team isnt going to be competitive with that roster. guys dont miss shots on purpose or slack off on defense. remember, other teams are watching and these guys know they are playing for their nba careers whether with the sixers or another squad
ive seen really bad warriors teams in the past and they werent tanking. just really bad teams

Why would the sixers want to tank so bad. Who's in the upcoming draft?
- May 3, 2013
- 8,790

Towns, Okafor, Johnson, Mudiay, Harrell
Unless they trade Embid, I don't see them taking a big. And I don't think Mudiay or Johnson are number 1 pick worthy.
So they could conceivably trade down.

Or you could draft a big man and trade the worst one out of the three which should net you something nice.

I'd trade MCW while his stock is still high and take Mudiay #1.

Because they were going to suck regardless, so if you're going to be in the lottery for sure anyway, might as well maximize your chances of getting the number 1 pick. Even if there's no consensus number 1 in the draft, having the first pick still gives a team more leverages for trades, etc.

It's just random to do it now with no consensus number one pick. They should've done it last year.
Not questioning the strategy. Just questioning the timing.

They did do it last year. That's why they got rid of Holiday, stashed Noel, eventually traded Turner, etc. Ping pong balls just didn't bounce their way. But they did wind up with the 3 overall pick.
