@DerekBodnerNBA What's a realistic trade scenario for Philly to obtain another 1st round pick in this draft?
2029 Clippers swap for Pick 12 or 17?
There are a lot of options in this draft who could immediately lift the team's floor and ceiling.
@HoopsReference@DraftDeeper Passing on Swain would be the bigger loss given the lack of options we have at his position. But I would also be frustrated with them letting Philon slip by in this mock.
Graves going one pick in front of them would suck
Even if they have to make a trade, the Sixers have to draft Allen Graves. We haven't had a connective player like him since Batum, and the offense hasn't flowed the same since.
Looking at restricted area stats, VJ shot 57.4% in that zone before the All-Star break and has scored at a 68.5% clip since on about the same volume of shots. Very good sign imo
Baltimore has been investing youth programming, including late night programs, summer camps, teen jobs, sports, after school programs, etc. Homicides in the city are down 40%, with steep drops in robberies, carjackings, and shootings. This should be talked about more.
@TrillBroDude I've been thinking the same thing. Is it possible for ownership to convince him to stop taking big swings on trades and FA acquisitions, and simply focus on the draft?
