Eagles Vice-President of Football Operations Howie Roseman has had an outstanding off season, but that’s including him spending a ton of money to resign the Eagles best young players. They have re-signed their best young players and given them each big money for their position and their accomplishments in their careers.
The Eagles have led the way in the amount of guaranteed money they have guaranteed since the beginning of the season. They have doubled the amount of guaranteed money, which was given out by the New York Giants, who are second in line in regards to the amount of guaranteed money they agreed to pay out since the beginning of 2016. I think it was the right move to sign their best players rather than letting them leave.
Zach Ertz, Brent Celek, Lane Johnson, Vinny Curry, Malcolm Jenkins and Fletcher Cox are all keys members of this football team. It made sense to sign them to extensions.
Most Guaranteed Money Given Out since Jan 1, 2016
Eagles $280,254,834
Giants $140,873,332
Redskins $114,785,698
Ravens $114,366,332— ESPN Stats & Info (@ESPNStatsInfo) June 13, 2016
Three of those players are on their offense and another three of those players are on their defense.
Zach Ertz –5-year, $42.5 million ($21 guaranteed)
Brent Celek — 3-year, $13 million ($6 guaranteed)
Lane Johnson — 5-year, $56.26 million ($35.5 guaranteed)
Vinny Curry — 5-year, $47.25 million ($23 guaranteed)
Malcolm Jenkins — 4-year, $35 million ($21 guaranteed)
Fletcher Cox – 6-year, $103 million ($63 guaranteed)
The Eagles defense is the strength of the football team and you can see that in these signees. Cox and Jenkins are two of the best players at their positions in the NFL. Curry will get the chance to prove himself this season. Ertz is one of the best pass receiving tight ends in the league, Johnson has the potential to be a star, while Celek is solid, but he’s seen his best years as a receiver.
They signed free agent right guard Brandon Brooks to a five-year deal for $40 million with ($21 guaranteed).
You can also add to this list quarterbacks Sam Bradford’s 2-year, $36 million ($22 guaranteed) and Chase Daniel 3-years, $21 million ($13 guaranteed). Of course, he won’t be around when this team starts getting better.
Add Safety McLeod, Brandon Graham, Michael Kendricks & Connor Barwin and you have 7 Highly Paid Defenders who must Improve dramatically under New DC Jim Schwartz into a Top 10 Unit or much of this $280 Million inGuaranteed $$$ will go up I smoke as will GM Roseman’s Future
It’s great to take care of young Core Players Financially, but these Core Players must Produce Results and Win the Games om the Field
I bet the Eagles Defense are one of the highest Paid Defenses in the NFL
(Jets,,Seahawks, Bengals, Cardinals & now the Giants) and its time to start Playing like one of the Best Defenses
No more Excuses from anyone, the Eagles have Spent a lot of $$$ on this Defense, it’s Coaching Staff and now it’s time to work and get better and become a dominant group on that side of the ball and along with good Special Teams can remain in most games while th Offense finds it way
Graham, Barwin, Bradford, and Ryan Matthews, will all come off their books when they are cut, or traded. Jason Peters could also be released, or take a pay cut – saving a ton of money.
And as the years go by, Howie has manipulated the cap so that the guaranteed money allotted to Lame, Ertz, McCleod, Brooks, and Curry is less of a burden year to year, because all their deals become more cap friendly as the years go by, and are also up in different years including Cox.
Add in Darren Sproles who will come off th Books after this Season
and in the meantime, they will have Bennie Logan, Jordan Matthews, Eric Rowe and maybe some other Players to possibly Extend..
WR’s Randle,Givens & Graham are all on 1-Year Deals, so if Reuben Randle on one of the others plays well and stays healthy, he could get an extension
add Chase Daniel’s 13 million guaranteed for 2 years – The dumbest signing in Philadelphia sports history. ( 3rd string QB for the 1st overall pick and 2nd over all pick; & with one career TD pass in 7 NFL seasons)
One more time who has Daniels contract blocked from signing! ? A week ago you said it was blocking cox… What has Daniels contract hurt?
I’m not a NFL GM. I’d rather watch Phillies, Flyers or Sixers than a Thursday Night NFL game if the Eagles aren’t playing. ( I’ll channel flip to that NFL game but the next morning I’ll read the box score of the local team before the NFL game’s box score. ) Howie’s job is to evaluate every NFL game and every NFL player and every college prospect not mine. If another NFL team signed Chase Daniel I never would have looked at his career but since the Eagles signed Chase I did. What I learned it was a STUPID signing. Giving a guy with one TD pass in 7 years that contract while also using multiple future draft picks i and the 2nd overall pick on Carson Wentz combined with giving 23 million to Sam Bradford make giving anything to another QB beside a training camp tryout contract, dumb. But since you like Chase Daniel so much purchase his Jerseys both Midnight Green, White and the 3rd Jersey option too at the Lincoln Financial Field gift shop ( Daniel wears #10 )
I couldn’t pick Daniel out of a line up, I couldn’t care less about the guy— you seem to be fixated on him…. They spent their money in a way that they saw fit– you only complain and whine about another mans money…
Anyone familiar with the Bill Giles Luxury Box at Citizens Bank Park?
My Sister, who works for the Phils, has the Giles Box reserved for Our Family as a Fathers Day & Graduation Gift … Looking forward to seeing the Young Phillies in Person as it’s been a few Years for me …
Watch for my Son’s Name On the Big Board in the 3rd & 7th Innings ..
Howie stinks at talent evaluation on his own, but his strength is in Capology.
I have all the faith in the world in Howie when it comes to that, and I’m sure he’ll figure it out – and bring us Ansah, Mack, Richardson, and Warford….lol…
Cliff, did you ever schedule to go on to Anthony Gargano’s show to discuss 2016 NBA draft?
OMG, can you imagine that ? – Cliff might get Gargano terminated with his bigotry (every white prospect sucks) then he insults multiple prospects’ mothers by claiming he impregnated them.
Yes Eagle, very soon, like next week. I’m looking forward to it…
Last time we talked, I mentioned to him, that this years D’Angelo Russell is Brandon Ingram.
Someone needs to teach these young Eagle players the basics in life. Someone teach Nelson how to talk to girls. Then someone teach Wentz how to go potty without getting stuck
Man ive grown to hate those classless pussies – warriors. i hope king whoops that ass sunday.
what a good series
LeBron was legendary last night. The switches that they were getting to get Curry on LeBron and onto Irving were genius. They literally got whatever they wanted offensively last night.
My question for Curry is when you know they are calling ticky tack fouls why try to reach in in the back court? That was a bad foul call, but why risk it? I know that the game was probably out of reach, but why seal the deal there? it is like a hitter not adjusting to a wide strike zone in his 4th AB and getting pissed that they ump is still calling outside strikes.
And Draymond continues to be an idiot.
whats funny since the draymond bitch incident or at the same time we got
draymond goes bitch mode and punches bron in the balls
steph whining about the refs
steph mouthpiece throwing meltdown
steph complaining about cavs fans and refs
steve kerr complaining about refs and being classless trying to say lebron flopped when thats literally all steph does
kerr and currys wives joining in the waaaaaaaaaa fest
fuck these softies
2 NBA insiders said the NBA is rigged this week:
Ex NBA referee Tim Donaghy &
Stephen Curry’s wife, Ayesha Curry.
A crook and a Whiney birches wife are insiders ? Did they have a remote control in the ball and make Barnes miss all them shots and steph play awful with his turnovers and only 1 assist ? Free thread were virtually even.
Fact is cavs whooped their ass and now they pouting like sissies
The nba is as phony as WWF… It’s a sham, fraud and mockery….
the results from Bryan Colangelo month long trade discussions for Nerlans and/or Okafor haven’t resulted in a top 5 draft pick offer says ESPN’s Chad Ford. Phoenix at #4 and Minnesota at #5 not interested in either Okafor or Nerlans. Espn’s Andy Katz said Boston is willing to give Marcus Smart, the 16th overall 2016 draft pick and a bunch of 2nd rounders for Okafor but not the 3rd overall in 2016.
Lol that puts you in such a pickle with that 1 pick now. Imo if u ain’t getting top 5 sit on it. Embiid can play the 4 and oak 5 with minutes for Noel too. Just keep em all and the offers will come…
Sixers got over 60 mill to spend that’s crazy. With nobody wanting to come here
Trust the process baby!
I do. Come this fall sixers will have the most talent on their team they’ve had in over a decade. None of which would’ve been possible without the process
Sixers dont have 60 million to spend. The unfourtunate truth is for every top pick they have in all these years every year for the next 4,5,6 years in a row there rookie contracts will expire. Next year Noel, then embid, then Okafor, Then Simmons then next years top pick, then the following year. Cant pay all of them
Thats why this process is a little flawed. Everyone of these top picks we have are going to ask for 15-20 million a year, some max contracts and if the Sixers dont give it to them someone else will. Thats why the notion of getting top 5 picks every year wont work. We will develop them then not be able to sign all of them. Embid is up in 2 years he will want max deal if he develops, then Okafor if he is here will ask for max deal, then Simmons, whats Saric going to ask, what about Noel? What about next years top pick? Cant pay all them guys.
True
I think many on here are “Over-Valueing” the 76ers Top Picks of Recent Drafts
They are very unlikely to get any Top Draft Picks in Return for either Okafor or Noel.. Their Best Bet is to Draft Simmons at #1, then address PG/SG at #24/#26…
(Maybe they can package Nerlens Noel & one of these Picks to move up 10 Spots or so… )
Until Embiid Proves that he can actually Play in the NBA , then the 76ers will have to hold onto Okafor as their Inside Score
Either way it shakes out the 76ers are at least 4-5 Seasons from Competing for the upper level of the Eastern Conference
Actually they can sign all of their OWN players. To my knowledge the NBA’s salary cap isn’t a hard one like the NFL. You’re allowed to resign your own FA and go over the cap.
The Larry Bird rule allows them to resign all their players even if it takes them over the cap.
The issue that may arise is when some of them start thinking they’re worth more than they really are, and start looking for bigger roles with other teams. That’s why they need to get rid of Noel; No sense in renegotiating with him, he’s no where near worth a max contract talent wise.
They can have Okafor, Embiid, and Simmons signed for as long as they want to be 76ers.
The process us and always was a Ponzi scheme…. As dag points out these sixes are going to be at max contract without one accomplishment…. It’s a joke
Still practicing your negative Nancy routine I see. Remember that when Dcar starts handing you your behind about your beloved Phillies.
Teams are supposed to TRY TO WIN– I’ve been consistent in that point from day 1–They are supposed to have players on their roster that they believe can help them win more games–it doesn’t always work out that way but you have to TRY TO WIN- trying to lose isn’t a process– any nitwit can try to lose.
and what do you think the lakers and boston have been doing over the years? The Spurs are this so called model org. Epic tank to acquire Duncan. Every team that can’t see their way above the 8th seed has been “coached decision” and stubbed big toeing their rosters forever to position for the lottery. Those of us who actually follow the sport know this; as have the media and the orgs themselves. Hinke and the sixers just snatched the beach towel off and exposed the tiny weenies of the commish, ownership, and media. At least when the sixers lost it was with players you or I could beat. Not with Wilt or Russell nursing the same hang nail or mysterious DNPs.
Hinke has become the nba Canseco. Canseco exposed players, owners, and media for being complicit in knowledge of steroid use and instead of owning up, they made him villain #1 until guys like you found Barry Bonds to take his place. Anyone that pretends there wasn’t perennial tanking before Hinke is either dumb as a box of rocks or full of you know what.
And Ford knows about as much as most of you do in this thread in regards to Nerlens and Okafors trade value. Basically nothing. The process started by the previous GM worked so well that the league (NBA) got exposed for their complicity in turning a blind eye to overt tanking (especially) by elite franchises. The league had to interfere (Colangelos) so other clubs wouldn’t tank in full view of all to see. But I guess teams like Boston and the Lakers stocked full of #1s and just leaving HOF players are doing things just right? What’s their “process” other than the same bs we’ve seen for decades.
Noel is a dime a dozen, you can get rim protector, run the floor, offensively challenged Player ho will Play 15-18 Minutes a Game in the 2nd Round..
The Jury is still out on how much upside Okafor has at the NBA Level and it will be up to how hardheaded works to improve, get stronger and his willingness to play physical inside as Playing in the NBA demands…
Overall, Okafor had a nice Rookie Season but has a ton to work on and#1 is his Toughness… Putting him andBen Simmons out there together may be a very Talented Duo, but it’s also a very “Soft” Tandem that will get beaten up and down by the Physical Players/Teams of the NBA.. They will Score 40 Points a Game together but will give up 50 Points to whomever they are matched up against
yo cliff whats the inside scoop on jaylen? wheres he think he going?
I talked to him sometime after his workout with the Sixers, and he told me that he was informed that HE was the player they were trying to get another high pick to draft – NOT Kris Dunn.
The problem is that Boston, and Danny Ainge really like him as well, and the Sixers know it. He is also coveted by Pheonix, Denver, and New Orleans.
I’d rather the Sixers trade Noel, the Lakers pick next year, 24th & 26th pick, and a future #1 pick to Milwaukee for Giannis, and the #7 pick, and draft DeJuonte Murray, the 6-6 PG/SG from Washington. He is a more pure PG that Kris Dunn, and a better shooter. The only negative in comparison to Dunn is he is not as experienced coming out after his freshman year.
Any move trading Okafor, for anything other than Jimmy Butler, DaMarcus Cousins, or LeBron, I think Brian Colangelo should be fired. ….Noel is the ONLY player that should be discussed in any trade…
@Eagle – We agreed I would come in after the draft on the 29th Eagle. I have a convention at the Liacouris Center Thursday – Sunday, to attend…
Cliff, will you be on Anthony Gargano’s show tomorrow or Thursday?
Ben Simmons has been informed by the 76ers that he will be the No.1 overall pick in the 2016 NBA Draft on Thursday.
Chris Haynes reports that that 76ers have told Simmons camp that they will use the top pick on the 19-year-old. Rumors of a promise had been swirling after Simmons unexpectedly worked out for the Sixers and it looks like those rumors have come to fruition. The 76ers are reportedly looking to move frontcourt bodies to open up minutes for Simmons, so he should be an interesting mid-round option in fantasy drafts with his expected usage.

if they trade oak for 3 thats fine. but if they use that 3 on dunn they gotta fire collangelo
I wouldn’t trade Okafor for 3. I would trade Noel for 3. Okafor for #2 and get Ingram is the only way that I would want to move him.
i cant imagine noel could get you #3 pick but if he could awesome. im not trying to pay him big money….curious if you could get ingram for oak who plays where?
ingram your sg?
simmons 3
embiid 4
noel 5?
thats one long as team, youd need a bomb ass shooter at pg. imo with it being fact we are getting simmons buddy is the 2nd best guy for this team in this draft
pg hybrid – buddy (by giving up oak say)
sg simmons
sf – saric
pf – embiid
c – noel
got shooters in saric & buddy
got rim attacker in ben
got mid range shooter in embiid
got rim protector in noel
thats a nice start to a team
i want 0 parts of dunn
I don’t want Nerlens Noel on this team.
I’m tired of watching Bullwinkle, with a boxed top, in a Sixers uniform. We should have drafted Giannis that year like I said we should have…..Years later , now, we see the mistake in talent evaluation.
We don’t even know if Saric can play, let alone start Mhenski……
no shit we dont know if he can start but from the sounds and looks of it, he is our 3 option this year. is he a championship caliber 3 ? probably not but for this year it is what it is and you gotta pencil him in as a starter unless that magic superstar tree of yours becomes reality and we can get a real player in FA
Haaa…
No we don’t have to pencil him in as a starter because right now the starters would be Embiid, and Simmons – and Saric would come off the bench.
ok u got covington at the 3 i got saric
No, I’ve got Simmons at THE 3
and let me guess you got
pg cj mccollumn
sg butler
sf simmons
pf embiid
c cousins
No, my perfect scenario 2017-2018 roster looks like this:
G – Ish Smith 6-1
G – Jimmy Butler 6-6
C – Jahlil Okafor 7-0
F – Giannis Adetekoumbo 6-11
F – Ben Simmons 6-10
G – DeJounte Murray 6-6
G – Josh Jackson 6-7
C – Joel Embiid 7-2
F – Dario Saric 6-10
F – Jaylen Brown 6-7
G – Vasilic Micic 6-6
G – Malik Beasley 6-6
F – Jeremi Grant 6-9
F – Terrance Ferguson 6-7
F/C – Reshaun Holmes 6-10
I agree Big Mhenski…
I wouldn’t trade Okafor to the Lakers either, because I don’t think Brandon Ingram is worthy of the exchange, and won’t be all that. He is this years version of DeAngelo Russell – not worth it
Joel Embiid (foot) has been cleared to start light scrimmaging in five-on-five settings, according to league sources.
While this still doesn’t mean he’ll be ready, this is a step in the right direction for the big man. The Sixers have already ruled the 22-year-old out of summer league, but we’ll keep a close eye on his next steps. Embiid’s progress over the summer will go a long way towards determining his fantasy value, but he’ll likely end up being an intriguing high-risk, high-reward option in the later rounds on draft day.

it wouldnt surprise me at all to see oak and noel both go
damn they saying its noel
The Celtics are reportedly want Nerlens Noel in exchange for the No. 3 overall pick in the upcoming draft.
The 76ers are reportedly “pushing hard” to trade with the Celtics for the No. 3 overall pick so that they can draft Kris Dunn, and with Philly already expected to bring in Ben Simmons with the No. 1 overall selection, they may be more willing to part ways with Noel. Noel would be a great fit with the Celtics, and Dunn would finally provide the 76ers with a solid point guard, so it wouldn’t be surprising to see something like this go down on draft night. Jun 21 – 3:17 PM
Source: Brian Geltzeiler on Twitter
THIS HAS TO BE SMOKE. NO WAY THIS COULD GO DOWN
lol!!!!
You jump all over that….That is a steal.
But I still don’t draft Dunn. I make a deal for Jimmy Butler using the 3…
Shit got real emblid approved for 5 on 5
everyone on gods green earth uses the 3 to get butler. well everyone but the chicago bulls accepting it
That’s true Mhenski, but you have to start somewhere, and you have to think like that.
I read this this morning about Noel. That would be fantastic.
I’m hearing Nerlens Noel & Robert Covington & the 26th Pick to the or their #3 Pick and Guard Marcus Smart
76ers Select Simmons at #1 & Point Guard Kris Dunn at #3
& SG From UNLV at #26
Paul….NO one wants Marcus Smart. I told you the year he was drafted that he wasn’t the player you thought he was – and he isn’t. I wouldn’t want him in any deal. That deal smells of what YOU want.
However, any deal getting rid of Noel, and keeping Okafor – I am down for.
Exciting week for Philadelphia Sixers fans. My hope is that Brian Colangelo doesn’t screw this up, and trade Okafor for garbage, and a shaky draft prospect.
I’d like to see them grab Simmons, DeJounte Murray, and or Malik Beasley in this draft. They are on record saying they don’t want to have 3 guaranteed contracts, so they won’t keep all three.
I can’t see boston even wanting a late 1st rounder. Don’t they already have 3 or 4 picks in round 1 this year?
Offer Boston Noel and a top 5 protected first and a player for 3 pick and olynck
Then turn around and offer oak for the 4,5 or 6 pick
Get buddy and Dunn or Murray or jaylen.
Then we got a good future and strong team at multiple spots and we still got a high 1st next year while they develop and the lakers 1st in the pipeline
Although I don’t wanna be to good next year cuz I want a good shot at josh Jackson who if we get to go with Ben and our other talent will push us too having some much talent we looking at a dynasty come 2020 or sooner
I agree with you about Jackson..
But they don’t have to deal with Boston, because, they have too many guard s so they aren’t going to draft Dunn
The only person that needs to go is Noel.
I would love to see them make a push for Jimmy Butler
dude ive been telling you for over a month. butler is untouchable
I know you have bruh, but that isn’t true.
There are several teams rumored to be trying to acquire him that Chicago is dangling him to. They are not against moving him for the right deal, and the Sixers have assets they would be interested in – especially future draft picks as they are ready to rebuild.
But he is NOT untouchable.
bulls rejected the #3 pick, you think they gonna accept oak and future 1 instead? nah… they arent trading him. plus idk if he fits with simmons, butlers range isnt that good
if im the bulls gm and sixers call me wanting butler i say sure for simmons and okafor
Who wouldn’t for Simmons, and Okafor…???
But, I’m not giving the centerpiece of my team to the Bulls either; Again, I am against any trading of Okafor…I think it’s dumb…
Where did you get the Bulls rejected the #3 pick for Butler???…I heard it as a rumor that included 2 more draft picks, Smart, Bradley, and future draft picks, and wouldn’t accept it if they couldn’t help them with cap relief – taking Gibson, and Dunleavy off their books – But no #3 straight up for Butler – that wouldn’t be enough any way.
My point was He isn’t untouchable as you stated – because he isn’t.
teague a pacer essentially for the 12th overall pick
A 3 Way Trade
Pacers Send Guard George Hill to Utah, who in turn sent their 12th Pick of the 2016 Draft to Atlanta who sent Guard George Teague to the Pacers…
I always liked Hill as a SG off the Bench and is a quality Shooter and Scorer who is from Indianapolis and played locally for IUPUI ..
A Good Deal for everyone… Pacers need some inside Scoring
BANNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNG!!!!!!!!
ROSE A KNICK!!!!!!!
I WAS SCARED TO DEATH WE WERE GONNA MAKE A PLAY FOR HIM
Knicks send Center Robin Lopez, Guard Jose Calderon & Guard Jerian Grant to the Bulls for Derrick Rose, Guard Justin Holiday and a 2016 2nd Round Draft Pick
The Bulls are rebuilding their Team around Guard Jimmy Butler as some of us have mentioned back in April, as he is the Face of the Bulls moving forward, and Not Rose, and Not Noah & and Not Gasol…
Ben Simmons looked legit as fuck in that sixers workout video
Yeah, that got me a pumped up. Excited for Ben Simmons day.
That jumper looked wet!!!!
Ben Simmons is legit we gonna have a nasty pick and roll with him and emblid, looks like oak for 3 is the best offer for Celts #3, don’t like it because I know it’s for Dunn but we need a pg who can defend
I think we get lamb off of the hornets books and get that 21 pick and now we have another shooter also
Yo henski I’m almost as pumped as the NFL draft just excited we are gonna have legit talent for a long time hinkie did his job and got us here it’s a shame he’s not good with people, trust the process!!!!
hinkie got did dirty no doubt. but you know what i dont care cuz now its all goinnnnnnnnnnnn dowwwwwwwwwwn for real! we got simmons who looks like a fucking freak of nature
now it looks like we for sure gonna get another high pick, likely the celtics for noel not jah… if we get that 3 pick and pick this fuckin loser dunn im gonna be pissed. GET ME FUCKIN BUDDY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
JAH, EMBIID & SIMMONS BULLDOZING IN THE PAINT THEN YOU BUDDY JUST GONNA SIT THE FUCK BACK AND SNIPE ALL FUCKING DAY. I DONT WANNA HEAR ABOUT THIS LOSER DUNN, HE IS INJURY PRONE, TURNOVER PRONE AND CANT FUCKIN SHOOT PRONE. GIMME BUDDY! THAT INSIDE OUT GAME WOULD BE SICK!!!!!!!! THAT DILDO STAUSKUS WOULD GET WIDE OPEN LOOKS TO BRICK TOO. SARIC WILL BE BURYING THEM THO

Dude the rumors are everywhere rubio rumors Noel to Houston for Beverly and ariza 2 3 and guys but ariza old but would be perfect with Simmons running the show
ewwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww
straight feces
Larry Bird continues to make Deals while re-tooling the Pacers Roster as the Pacers send the 20th Pick of the 2016 Draft to the Brooklyn n Nets for Forward Thaddeous Young who is Due about $43 Million over the next 3 Seasons (About $14.5 Million Average)
Pacers will now have Guards Paul George, Jeff Teauge, Forward Thad Young anfd young promising Big Man, MylesTurner, to build around
go to indycornrowsDOTcom
Nice move getting Thad for depth, but Teague isn’t crap….Big deal
Well I just watched the Ben Simmons workout tape….. He and Embid are all stars in the gym! How could you not be excited. I’m telling you if they played the games with one camera, no fans, no opponents and a bunch of 40 year old coaches they’d be the champs! Sweet
But I will say his empty gym jumper looks better than I thought and his body is already nba ready….. After empty gym tape I proclaim him a star…..that’s not a joke his body is a man, a big man with fluid Motion and handling skills… Ok HAC confirms the draft choice
10-9-8-76ERS…
Tonigh Ben Simmons officially becomes a Sixer, what I called and hoped for since the end of the 2015 NBA season. My hopes and wish will become reality. After that, I hope the Sixers can move up via a trade and grab a G, Dunn, Murray or Hield, unless the Lakers pass on Ingram, then I do what I have to move up and take Ingram.
Dunn to the Timberwolves…. That’s unlucky…. Maybe they trade for d’angelo russell …
Man guess we rolling with 5 bigs? Actually know way sarics coming here this year if we don’t move someone
Paulman just signed a league minimum salary to play the point for sixes. His1.3 Ppg and 1.7APG averages in the Boone over 50 league this winter makes him the favorite to run the sixes offense
A dime a dozen? You know absolutely nothing about basketball. Outside of Cousins, name me 5 young bigs that are better. I’m not even going to get into his numbers the last 2 years. I’ll help you, 2 of the young bigs are on his team. One hasn’t even played a game yet. That’s how devoid of paint talent this league has become.
Who said dime a dozen
Fraudman. That’s who I was responding to.
Fuck collangelo say what you want hinkie but he would’ve got something done. Looking at that haul okc got for serge and seeing our gm do shit really pisses me off. Still a long offseason to go but so far this is shit
Dude we got great value with furkan and luwawa they have major upside and will look great running with ben, go to liberty ballets website everyone is glad we didn’t get raped by ainge, this was a excellent job of standing pat for god sakes mcaw and Jackson still available a lot of players falling
We have plenty time to move nerls or oak
Not really all the young kids are drafted now. Collangelo fucked up huge and missed a golden opportunity. You see what Orlando gave up for ibaka ? I would’ve took just oladipo for Noel or oak. Now we gonna trade for same turds like Rubio or some shit.
Major fuck up not moving a big. Of course there’s still time but we aren’t getting no rookie guards now and the players that are on the blocks now are basically all turds.
Josh Jackson here we come!!!
Nerls contract is expiring we will move him for vet pg and 3 and d guy probably that Houston trade, when they throw in a pick also, but dude calm down we will probably have 2 of top 5 next year also with the sac and lak pick
Time for the Sixers to get on the phone with the Denver Nuggets.
Just a ton of Foreighn Players Selected this Draft
76ers got some young Prospects with upside with their #24 & #26 Picks
Both are Young and should compete in Year #1
Luwawu-Cabarott is 21 and a Wing Player and probably a future replacement/upgrade for Robert Covington
Furman Korkmaz is still only 18 and a Shooter who can help handle the
Ball and looks to be a future Player at the #2 Spot.
Both Players need to get Stronger for the vigors and physicality of the NBA
All in All, 16 out of 60 Players Selected in this Draft were Foreign Players with 8 Selected in the 1st Round which is about 25%…
Sixers traded Thad Young 2 years ago for a conditional Miami Heat 1st round draft pick that finally transferred this year. Pick Number 24.
Brooklyn traded Thad Young yesterday for the the 20th overall pick. Brooklyn got better value for Thad than Hinkie.
Bwahahahahahaha.
But nets took the most injury prone player in draft so does it matter
Boston, Phoenix, Minnesota, New Orleans, and Denver all turned down Okafor or Noel for their first round pick – one of those GMs is going to get fired when Brown, Bender, Dunn, Hield or Murray turn into the 2016 version of Anthony Bennett, Jimmer Fredette or Johnny Flynn. At least one is going to be a big time bust.
I think it is safe to assume that Colangelo turned down the 12th pick for Okafor or Noel. Also Jeff Teague for either , Derrick Rose for either and Patrick Beverly for either.
probably shouldve took the teague deal after all i guess. or even some shit deal like beverly now. noels value isnt going to go up at the deadline… and i cant see us resigning him if oak improves and embiid shows skills…
fact of the matter is they were never getting in the top 10 for noel, theres a bunch of free agent bigs many of whom are arguably better than him and will cost teams nothing
What the hell is wrong with do you really think the Sixers are that desperate to take a shit deal just to do it. Let’s just trade somebody anybody the hell with if it makes sense or not or if the Sixers are getting any value back.
As stated numerous times, Nerlens Noel’s is not returning any Top 12 Pick in the Draft… He’s too limited Offensively for todays NBA where a 4 needs to stretch the Court and be able to hit open shots.. Noel’s is also limited down in the Box Offensively where he really doesn’t have any Post Game or the patented quick safe turnaround shot
With these deficiencies, where do you play him on most Teams?
Noel’s is a 6-10″, Athletic, run the floor, rim protector which many Teams could use, but not at the Cost of a Top Half 1st Round Pick in Return..
I thought Noel’s plus 76ers #24 for a early to mid-teens Pick in return could have been out there but 76ers saw some of Players they liked dropping so there probably wasn’t real need to do so…
Bottom line this Draft was just not very Deep for what the 76ers really needed which was Guards/SG after they Selected Ben Simmons at #1
I would expect Adela or two before Camp Opens..
Colangelo would be foolish to move Okafor until Embiid actually proves that he can Play so hang ong onto Okafor for thisSeason and then see how things shakeout ..
Noel’s can be moved for a Veteran PG as he can easily be replaced
Pman — Colangelo turned down an offer for both Teague and Rose so he is still searching for draft pick guards not NBA vets. They are All star experienced vets Rose and Teague.
I don’t think they need to do anything as long as Lebron is the King of the NBA Eastern Conference. Indiana, Chicago, Boston, Atlanta all imploded trying to compete against him over the last 6 years. If Derozen leaves add Toronto too and Miami looks like they imploded too trying to replace him. The smart move is the Hinkie plan. Wait until Lebron gets too old to matter and keep drafting top 14 lottery picks, then pounce when Lebron crumbles. Sixers have 2 studs now Simmons and Embrid. Next year they get 3 chances to land a 3rd stud in the lottery with their 2017 #1, Lakers #1, and Kings swap. They can add Nerlans or Okafor to move up in the draft next year. Maybe they have the 4th overall pick next year and they add Okafor or Nerlans to that 4th overall to move up to number 2 overall and take first guard off the board.
if he turned down rose and or teague then hes a damn fool. i dont like either of those 2 but this guys acting a fool. theres just not enough minutes for noel, oak, embiid, saric… Although theres just no possible way sarics coming here this year because of the log jam so i guess its not really that bad they forced to start a combo of noel/oak/embiid and center/pf and forced to start ben at sf
who cares if one of their centers feelings are hurt when they ride the bench because the other 2 beat them out for minutes. Keep all 3 and play one at a time with the other the backup and the other injury insurance. Sixers aren’t winning anything next year and neither is Phil Jackson, Danny Ainge, Larry Bird, or Pat Riley. Lebron James is winning the east next year and the year after that too. 2 more additional off seasons will fill out the roster. New Orleans should have built the way Minnesota is building with Anthony Davis and the Sixers should add another triplet next year like Minnesota just did with Towns, Wiggins and Dunn. New Orleans made a mistake and rushed the process with these trades you keep wanting ( Gordon, Tyreke Evans and Holliday moves). Sixers have Simmons, Embiid and will get a 3rd stud next draft maybe 2 studs next draft in lottery. If Embiid gets injured again then they have 2 role player centers still in Okafor and Nerlans.
i really think colangelo not swiping oladipo/other parts of that magic/thunder deal from okc was idiotic… take half of what the thunder got for noel or just dipo straight up… im starting to think noel carries minimal value maybe oak too (although i dont think the sixers wanted to move oak at all)
All of these trade rumors is just that rumors we have no idea what was the proposal, so instead of speculating let’s just wait until something actually happens
Great job Sixers, I can’t wait for summer league.
