trelos6ParticipantWith the season about to kick off and 20 players on the payroll, Philly has to make a few roster cuts.
PG: Wroten, Marshall, Canaan, Jackson, McConnell, Wilbekin
SG: Stauskas, Tokoto, McRae
SF: Covington, Thompson, Grant, Sampson
PF: Landry, Noel, Aldemir, Holmes, Wood
C: Embiid, Okafor
Considering they are all about finding studs and not mediocre players, I hope they keep Christian Wood on the team.
Also, Pierre Jackson could have a Nate Robinson type role off the bench. I hope he makes the cut. Otherwise, it’s another year of 30ppg in the D-League.

CobraParticipantWe’ll find out sometime on Monday. I think Wood is a lock. Unfortunately, I think Jackson gets cut. He has looked pretty bad in preseason and the team will already be carrying two injured PGs in Marshall and Wroten.

NBAjunkie81Participanteven if that means dropping Aldemir (who has a guarenteed contract for 2.7 $Million)…. Wood has great length & a wiry, electric frame…
I know his Draft stock dropped b/c of maturity issues & Phila could be a good place for him w/ Brett Brown growing a reputation for creating a discilpined atmosphere for developing young talent…
I was surprised when I attended a Clippers game last year at how hard they played & the general sense of comraderie among the players… Brown was very upbeat & positive before, during & after the game & their very young team was impressive in terms of being tenacious & supportive of each other throughout…
I agree w/ your point about Pierre Jackson as well…. I was hoping to see him on the NBA level this year but it looks like he still has not regained the quickness he lost when he was injured last year… I was liking the idea of a 3 man rotation of Marshall, Wroten & Jackson at the PG spot but all three are still recovering from injury….
A quick side note, I think Wood (& Embiid) will benefit from practicing everyday w/ mature beyond their years youngsters such as Okafor, Noel & Marshall… And Holmes is a good looking rookie they picked up in the 2nd round last June as well…. I know they have a Long road ahead but after 2 years, their long term vision is taking shape w/ some good young talent…
I’m excited to see some of the Young players that Milwaukee, Boston, L.A. Utah, Minnesota, Portland, Charlooty & N.Y. Drafted or signed as Free Agents – I LUV this time of year!!! Good Luck to Everyone! & All of your Favorite teams & Players! 🙂

MopgrassParticipantEmbiid doesn’t count since he’s injured. That’s 19 players on the roster. Cut Sampson and McRae (17). Then send Mcconnell, Tokoto, and Holmes to the D-League (14). Then pick up someone new. Okafor and Noel can play center, but since they are supposed to share court time, they need another legit 7 footer. I was surprised they didn’t try for Upshaw when the Lakers cut him (then he picked up with the L.A.’s D-League). Is there another center recently dropped that’s worthwhile (not that winning is their real objective)?

NBAjunkie81ParticipantI was strictly speaking on the topic of Wood’s reputation as being a bit unfocused & immature (a tag that has also been applied to Embiid by some)… not their value or lack thereof as an on the court prospect
My meaning was simply that it can’t hurt both Wood & Embiid to being w/ a coach who has built a nice reputation around the League for creating a structured, positive environment where young players can have every opportunity to prosper – rather than either being on a team which isn’t as focused on development (which is fine, no criticism here, it could be a team competing for a Title & not prioritizing development at the moment…)
In addition, Noel & Okafor & a few of their other youngsters appear to have their heads on straight & it would be good for Woods, Embiid, etc..) to be around other prospects that can relate to all the attention these guys receive before they ever enter the NBA & seem to have handled the transition really well (from a personal standpoint)…
Being around guys like that everyday in practice can only help… A "you are who you hang around with" type of deal… Apologies for the misunderstanding, I have no idea whether Embiid will or will not ever play & in general the team is still very young & thin at several positions at least two drafts away (IMHO) getting to the point where they can think about competing for a playoff spot in the East which is around a .500 record –
but I do like the structure they have set up as a Franchise to develop prospects & since their GM took them from 4 first round picks over the 6 drafts between 2013 & 2018 to 14 first round picks in those same 6 drafts, they will certainly need a structure that focuses on & caters to developing youngsters both On & Off the court…

ExumInfernoParticipantThey need to do more than get to 15 players, they should move out more players to get a couple of smart veterans for the bench. Brand and Ridnour, or someone like that, might be something to bring stability and teaching to the roster.

PulseGlazerParticipantIt isn’t about finding studs only. The Robert Covington’s of the world have real value. Every great team has at least a few lower drafted guys who develop into good rotation pieces.

GBeeParticipantHoly sht that’s a dumpster fire of a roster. It’d be tough for me to cut just 5. Usually teams want that extra wiggle room for flexibility and like to get their roster down to 14 but for thread purposes I’ll just keep it to 5 cuts. I’d cut Pierre Jackson, Tokoto, Jakarr Sampson, Christian Wood and McRae, with McRae being the toughest cut. At least their team-wide IQ would increase a bit via subtraction. They must have a strange affinity for low IQ players.
As for adding vets, it’s too late for that. They have their strategy and it has nothing to do with gathering pieces to build an actual complementary roster. There is also very little regard for the human element of building rosters like leadership, mentorship, role players, etc. Can you imagine if the 6ers had someone like a KG to get in that ass if Embiid was acting up and not taking his recovery seriously? Idk, it just feels as though Hinkie is playing 2k with this roster. He’s more of an asset manager than a team builder atm. Compiling assets, trying to combine said assets into greater assets, not buying what doesn’t fit his EXACT criteria even if it would help the team, flipping what’s on his roster if it doesn’t fit his EXACT criteria, settling for cheap, disposable crap as the auxiliary pieces only because he has to. IMO, it’s an extreme approach that could get him fired before a turnaround actually occurs.

NBAjunkie81Participantb/c frankly I don’t care… But the hit pieces by lazy journalists that circulate & somehow turn into fact are irritating (mind you I’m ot criticizing you or your post – it’s not your job to research the Sixers)..
But the tool bag journalist who began the "they need a savy mature vet for locker room chemistry" conveniently forgot to mention that Jason Richardson has been on the Sixers through the Entire Hinkie era of 28 months & was brought in the summer before until he just left a few months ago & then retired… There isn’t a more resepcted Vet in the NBA than Richardson who is known as positive influence & sets a great example b/c he’s worked through several terrible injuries…
I’ve mentioned the relentless attacks on Phila’s tanking strategy before has completely puzzled me since they are in year 3 of tank mode & teams have doing this exact stategy for Decades… The Warriors tanked their brains out for 4 years from 2009 – 2012… I can name a hundred other examples – & in almost Every case these bad teams are ignored…. Phila’s last management regime dropped a nuclear bomb on that franchise in 2012/13" – they had no tradeable players & almost no draft picks – one of the journalists needs to tell us what other strategy they had available b/c I’m lost…
I looked up what they had on the roster when Hinkie took over & where they stood to draft & if they played the hand they were dealt they would have a team right now of
PG: Jru Holiday
SG. Doug McDermott (2014 draft pick)
SF: Evan Turner
PF: Thad Young
C: Steve Adams (2013 Draft instead of MCW)
No 2015 1st Round Pick & No 2017 1st Round Pick
That roster is a Nightmare! As it stands, the Sixers GM had that load of garbage to work with – I’m shocked anyone even took that job… As of right now, the GM has acquired Noel, Stauskus, Saric, Okafor & Embiid (that is FIVE Top 10 Lottery picks) in 2013, 14 & 15 drafts & in the next 3 drafts between 2016 & 2018 they 8 more 1st round picks (most Lottery)…
In a choice between those two situations I definitely take the 2nd option & rebuild w/ some young talent… Mind you noe of this is directed at my fellow posters… None of us have time to research every team. I just began researching Phila b/c I had never seen a team this bad get stomped by the national media when they just started a rebuild 2 years ago. I def don’t wanna get negged – especially not for defending Phila & I don;t even care that journalists don’t agree w’ what Phila is doing but do some Ucking research & defend your argument if you think they should have kept that slop from 2 years & stop making stuff up like they have no NBA vets in their locker room when they clearly had one of the most well respected guys in the League on the team the whole time…

CDPHParticipantAgreed that Wood makes the roster.
Pierre Jackson just hasn’t looked good and he’s removed all references of the 76ers from his twitter, leading most to believe he’s already been told he’s going to be released.
There’s some talk they’re going to put in a waiver claim for Ish Smith as well. I think it ends up:
PG: Kendall Marshall / Isaiah Caanan / Ish Smith
SG: Nik Stauskas / Tony Wroten / Hollis Thompson
SF: Robert Covington / Jeremi Grant / Jakarr Sampson
PF: Nerlens Noel / Carl Landry / Richaun Holmes
C: Jahlil Okafor / Christian Wood / Joel EmbiidAldemir gets waived as they don’t care about his guaranteed salary.
It’ll be a long season in Philly, but 4 first round picks, plus Saric/Embiid (if healthy) and a ton of cap space gives them reason for hope moving forward.

Memphis MadnessParticipantAre you guys showing the roster of their D League team?
Do they HAVE a D League team?
I would keep Okafor, Noel, Wroten, Covington, Jerami Grant (maybe), and Stauskas. Trade everyone else. Maybe even Embiid. Saric might have the most value before he plays an actual NBA game. He screams Tweener Role Player in some random foreign language.
If Okafor and Noel is legit well that is gonna be two max contracts right there. Then you gotta pay Wroten who I think is ok… Covington has that 3 and D potential that gets bid up fairly high. Stauskas can shoot, theoretically speaking, in a league where shooting matters, theoretically speaking.
How many guys can you realistically pay? 4 or 5 tops? Your Big Three and then your overpaid fourth option.
They need to clear some space and clarify their core.
If the 76ers could get a top 10 pick for the fantasy basketball combo (because that is what they are at this point — fantasy NBA players) for Embiid and Saric they should do it…
They need to think: ok, Okafor, Noel, and Wroten make up 3/4th’s of a Big Four. Who is our other guy going to be? It looks like they would need a stud wing player who can score. Oh, and a young one who can do that. How many of those guys are out there though?
They need to go get that guy — Embiid ain’t that guy. Neither is Saric. Start making some moves.
The Sixers have a motley crew of broken toys and misfit puzzle pieces.

CDPHParticipantWith all due respect, this isn’t a team that needs to worry about paying people at all.
Wroten is the only player in the "core" who’s even so much as an RFA this summer and I think it’s extremely unlikely that he’s a long-term piece because of his inability to shoot the ball, at all.
Noel, Caanan and Thompson have two more years on their contracts.
Embiid, Stauskas, Covington, Sampson, Grant and Wood have three years.
Okafor, Marshall and Holmes have four more years.
Saric hasn’t even begun his rookie contract, so if he comes over this summer it will be five years (including this one) until he’s a free agent.
Everyone’s signed and by the time anyone’s up for an extension the salary cap will have already exploded. So no worries there.
It makes no sense to deal Embiid while his value is at it’s alltime now. He can either play, or he can’t. But he’s not a trade chip right now.

T RexSaric isn’t stupid enough to come over next season, just to lock himself into a four year rookie contract as the most underpaid player in the NBA by far, when comparable players are making 15+ million per year.
He’s just going to wait another year and sign an 80-100 million dollar contract, rather than a 2 million dollar per year rookie 4 year contract.
Keep dreaming.

chall23ParticipantYou do make a great point about him possibly holding out for one more year, but 80-100 million? Come on man that’s a prettyyyy big stretch.

T RexThe salary cap is jumping like 20 million next year, and then another 20 million the year after, which is the year he will sign.
Mid-level free agent contracts for mediocre players will be like 12-15 million per year, and Saric will be in his prime and worth more than mid-level.

Jerrell7ParticipantBrett Brown can coach this team to 23 wins bare minimum. I’m tired of this approach but I guess I’ll have to learn some patience. Okafor will bring something to the league it’s been missing for a while but we gotta get a point guard. The pipe dream is we land Westbrook somehow some way but it’s looks like we wait until jamal murray gets drafted here next year.

HitsterParticipantGood that Christian Wood has made the roster, he should get some decent minutes this year and can have a shot at making a real go of the NBA.
Philly have a ton of cap space and will likely be receptive to teams looking to make salary dumps if future assets can be added. Also if 3rd teams are needed in trades Hinkie will always be an option.
They can carry cap space to and past deadline day, even right up until draft day next year if teams are looking to do deals, create cap space for FA moves and Philly has space to take on additional salaries they can. They only need be near to the cap minimum right before the offical cut off date.
For this season if Philly get anything over 25 wins, it will almost be an overachievement.
