 Brent Brown seems to have been a good luck charm at the lottery, landing us the # 1 Pick

Simmons or possibly Ingram making us better overnight isn’t likely, but is a great step forward

This summer will be very entertaining for us, we’ll be adding 2 legit Big Guys in Dario Saric and the myth himself Joel Embiid, a productive F like Saric and a healthy Embiid should show us flashes of brilliance, we just need a refocused Jahlil Okafor and improved Nerlens Noel to set that frontcourt on the path to greatness, practices are going to be must watch…

Adding a Top Pick has set us up nicely going forward, missing out on Wiggins and Kat to certain degree has really set us back but with this recent luck we have to looked at a little differently right now…

We still have 2 additional 1st Round Picks to add some depth at G, a steal area IMO, trading up for a guy like Malachi Richardson has been discussed, moving out all together is also in play if a Team like Atlanta blows it up and allows Horford to walk, Teague or Schroeder could be had for a collection of late 1st round picks, Eric Bledsoe or Brandon Knight are also available with Phoenix landing a Top 4 Pick in Dunn or Murray to pair up with Booker

Oh boy and talk about Cap Space, we have plenty of room to add multiple MAX contracts before having to extend our young core, if only a Sub 25 year Star G were available in FA (Bradley Beal??? No way, right???)

Oh well I’ll gladly take Simmons 1st, target Richardson via trade up, see who becomes available when Phoenix drafts Murray or Dunn, sign Evan Fournier to play SG in Free Agency…Watch them all grow together and see where we end up drafting next year in a G heavy class

I’ll be happy if half of this comes through

1. Draft Simmons or Ingram #1 and he wins ROY

2. Watching Saric and Embiid finally lace em up and produce on an NBA court

3. Drafting Malachi Richardson or another young G to add to the bench using the 24th and 26th picks

4. Signing a G like Fournier to spread the floor for Okafor and Simmons/Ingram

5. Trading for an expendable PG like Brandon Knight to start in front of Ish Smith

 game changer……. w/ Embiid & Okafor you now have 3 players who will draw double teams…… I Luv Noel in a Big man rotation……. & Saric is a poor man’s Simmons…….

You guys have Tons of picks….. So you can load up on Shooters w/ the #24 & #26 picks plus the 1st round picks you have over the next couple Drafts……

& you have Tons of cap space which I thought would not matter but in a couple years top level guards are going to Beg to play w/ Simmons & Embiid………

Phila is Loaded now w/ pieces that will allow them to really compete in the East for years to come……

 Philly will certainly be better next season, I would say 25 to 30 wins should be within their range judging by what the T-Wolves did this season.

They will probably have a lot of new players in rotation so Brett Brown will need time to settle on his rotation.

If we assume they take Simmons then they will have to play him at SF mainly, I’d guess Saric and Embiid come from the bench behind Noel and the Oak. Like Sacrecrow said I’m probably more interested to see Embiid finally in action if it ever happens rather than Simmons make his debut.

 Didn’t see your post. I agree Brandon Knight would be a great trade target!
