What kind of impact do you guys think Philadelphia will have in this offseasons free agency. Other than Thad and J-Rich who have 15-mil combined they have about 10-mil on contract between 6 players and I doubt either player Young or Richardson is on the opening day roster. They should resign Sims and Thompson for another 2-4 mil max. Then they have Embiid who wont even play at I believe 4-mil. Saric and Micic are stashed (not too sure about Micic). Mcdaniels, Grant, and Mcrae will likely be signed at about 3-mil.

So thats 11 players at about 20-mil excluding Young and Richardson which makes 13 players at 35-mil.

With that being said Philly cant continue to just tank and rely on the draft. Next years draft is not looking as promising as this one and other then their own pick they only have a Golden State 2nd and New Orleans 2nd (Im pretty sure those are the two teams picks they acquired.

They need to get a somewhat competitive core and begin developing a team identity thats just as important as gathering assets. That starts by having some roles established. Like a primary ball handler. A go to scorer. Primary rebounders. Primary help defender. Etc. Some of these are coming into place yet it still looks very gloom.

They are not likely to spend 100-mil over the next 3 years in free agency this offseason but I think they need to make a move for someone.

Primary targets can potentially be.

Lance Stephenson

Chandler Parsons

Gordon Hayward

Greg Monroe

Eric Bledsoe

I think they pay out for one of these guys and make a ridiculous offer. Obviously Hinkie has not cared about positional need since taking over as GM but maybe he starts putting pieces of the puzzle tigether this year.

I see Monroe as a skilled Center not a PF and do you really want to invest in 3 C’s.

Stephenson has the most potential out of the group as far as matching Phillys current personnel goes yet he has a huge ego and is a big gamble to pay big money.

Parsons and Hayward dont have that next level potential in my opinion but both would serve as good temporary first options on such a weak team

Bledsoe maybe an excellent fit next to MCW defensively.

Almost forgot James Anderson.

[WhodunitParticipant]

 you overpay them at least 130% of what the next best offer is and they are promised to be one of the main 2 offensive focuses. No one that you listed at least.  Your best chance is at Gordon Hayward.

Thats what happens when youu tank and make it known you plan to tank again. No one wants to go to your team especially if its a guy whose been on a losing team and cant take it anymore.

But your best tool is your cap space, if you can offer Hayward something like $13-14M/yr for 4 years then you’ll get him, otheriwse if your just slightly above what the next highest offer is fugedahboutit.

And you not developing any type of identity next year, you’ll be patches and scraps bunched together to form a "team" hoping you dont lose sooooo much but win minimally as to not break the 26 consecutive loss NBA record.

I would be looking at the SF position and having a go at Hayward or Parsons.

Both are young and good outside shooters which would be ideal for this team. I don’t feel Stephenson or Bledsoe would fit as they would take the ball outta MCW’s hands.

[MisterMordenParticipant]

I hope they go out and spend the money to bring in either Parsons or Stephenson coz they don’t have any true offensive players right now.

I hope to see a starting lineup for next season of:

Chandler Parsons – PF

Jerami Grant – SF

Nerlens Noel – C

Jordan Mcrae – SG

MCW – PG

With Wroten, Simms, McDaniels, Jackson, Sampson, Anderson, and Ejim coming off the bench, we should be a young exciting group to watch and work towards another 20-win tank season. 

 

[OhCanada-Participant]

I wonder who wins the arm wrestling match between Ujiri and Hinkie for Melvin Ejim. We have homefield advantage.

[MisterMordenParticipant]

 idk.  I’ve said it in other posts though, he’s one of my and Jalen Rose’s favorite and most-underrated players that we were shocked went undrafted.  So, I really really hope he makes our Sixers squad for next season.

 I’m sorry but I don’t see most of those players leaving there current teams this offseason. Stephenson, debatable, Parsons, again debatable but for a different reason than Stephenson. The rest I definetly don’t see leaving. For 1 they are all young. All young players want to win especially if they are talents and high lottery picks. And those 3 were. (well except for Bledsoe but he would have went lottery in 2010 if more teams needed a PG and if he wasn’t so raw coming out of Kentucky his freshman year.) (I thought he should have stayed an extra year and come out with Irving in 2011 instead.) So none of them want to be losing for most of their careers in the league. #2 I’m going to explain individually because each has a different reason and a different situation. 

Hayward is on a young Jazz team that looks VERY promising. He has been a pleasant surprise for all Jazz fans. He is key piece to the Jazz. He was asked to be the main scorer this past season, and grant it he didn’t do wonderful but he still did very well. 16 pts, 5.2 boards, and 5.1 assists are excellent numbers for starters minutes. I know most people here don’t think much of Hayward and think he is only a sweet shooting role player for a contending team. But he has gotten a bad rap. He has quietly proved with the Jazz that not only is he a sweet shooting wing player, he also knows how to pass the ball and rebound. He can even play good defense. Not exceptional, but decent and enough for any team to like him. The Jazz often asked him to defend the opposing star player if that player also happened to play the wing (Happened a lot) and he did very well, better then I myself thought he would. He has deceptive athelticism. I compare him to a younger smaller Peja Stojakovic or a smaller Keith Van Horn. Those were not starting role players on playoff caliber teams who were very important to the teams’ success. No doubt he is an important piece to the Jazz they Dennis Lindsey and Jazz management will see and will have to match his inevitable offer. Reason 2 the Jazz keep him, they didn’t draft a starting small forward in the draft. Okay they drafted Hood at 23. This site thought he would go lottery (for some odd reason) but we all knew he would go mid first round because of his hot shooting but poor defense. This draft was too deep and there were too many wing player who are better then him and thus he would go mid first round. Therefore he is not a starter down the road, unlike this site seems to oddly think. Hood is the excellent role player who is a sweet shooting wing that we all thought Hayward was when he came out in 2010. He is an excellent backup to Hayward. (Jefferson and most likely Williams leave this year. Williams might stay because Jazz seem to like him but Jazz might have to give him up to keep Hayward) So if the Jazz selected a starting 3 in the lottery (like Gordon possibly) then not keep Hayward would have been an option, but that didn’t happen and thus the Jazz have no one to plug at the SF spot IF he leaves (which he won’t). What are they gonna do keep Jefferson and Williams and start one of those 2 there? No, of course not. Jazz want to develop YOUNG talent not old, washed up talent. So if Hayward leaves, the Jazz will have to find some young player in the offseason instead to fill his spot, but I highly doubt that happens. Yes, Hayward thinks he’s a 2 but he’s 6’8, the biggest young "guard" the Jazz have. They now have 4 young "guards" on the team. (Hayward, Burks, Burke, and now Exum) that’s a lot of young talent. The league has a lot of good starting wing players and most are stars for their respective teams. Most also play SF and are 6’8-6’10. Which means that Hayward will be asked to guard those players night in and night out. Your position is usually defined by who you guard not what position you play on offense. So even Hayward does end playing the two on offense, he will still be called a 3 because he will guard the opposing team’s starting SF. So I’m sorry Jazz are keepping Hayward. Yeah they might be strapped for cash once they match his offer, but that’s fine. They drafted Exum for a reason. Because they might be strapped for cash after they match Hayward’s offer, they might have to end up losing Burks or Burke just to make the salary cap and not have to pay the luxury tax bill. Which, I am fine with as a diehard Jazz fan. We drafted Exum for this very reason. (Well, other reasons too but no doubt this was in the minds of Jazz management when they made the pick) He’s so good, very young. has a ton of potential, that he will undoubtedly be better than both Trey and Alec. He might be better than Trey right now! So if the Jazz end having to giving Trey or Alec (just 1 not both) just to keep Hayward, it won’t kill them. Just insert Exum into that spot and problem solved. And he’ll probably play the spot better than Trey or Alec ever could!! So Jazz keep Hayward no doubt about it.

Next player: Monroe. I think this one’s pretty visual for most people to see. SVG seems to like Monroe next Drummond and wants to keep him as his opening space big man for the other big man in Drummond down low. Josh Smith is the one he is looking to trade. Thus Monroe will stay with the Pistons and Smith will leave.

Lastly Bledsoe: Its possible he leaves, but I highly doubt it. Here’s why. Of the Suns starting backcourt he is the youngest. He is still young and has a lot of potential. Suns seems to like to him a lot. No I don’t think the Suns will stick with the small combo guard backcourt of Bledsoe and Dragic in the future. I think one of them will leave soon. But it will be Dragic that leaves, not Bledsoe. Dragic might even be traded by the trade deadline! And the Suns just picked up Bledsoe’s option, so now he is a restricted free agent. Thus proving my point even more that he stays, and the Suns match his offer, thus keeping him. They still have a lot of salary cap room to match his offer. Just as the Jazz do in order to keep Hayward.

Sixers will have to look elsewhere for the last few players of this team. My bet is that Hinkie will once again look to the D-league for these two or more players.

Thus proving my point even more that he stays, and the Suns match his offer, thus keeping him. They still have a lot of salary cap room to match his offer. Just as the Jazz do in order to keep Hayward.

 I don’t think they’ll be looking to make any splash this year.  They will take on a few salaries to facilitate deals or take guys off other teams book (all in the last year of deals) in the hopes of gathering up future picks for the courtesy.  Teams looking to make a splash are teams trying to make a playoff push – they aren’t

The following year I think starts gearing toward winning games.  Right now if we make the playoffs we lose our 2015 1st – not happening.  It’ll be another year of tryouts and maybe finding a hidden gem or two.

In summer ball there are a few guys on their roster that may get a camp invite – Melvin Ejim, Aaron Craft, Sean Kilpatrick – they’ll all get a long look.  Unlike most teams – we have lots of available spots and only give 1 year tryouts

I agree, I don’t think Sixers dive into FA until next summer, but I also think it’s silly to make a case that free agents (good players, but not the Lebron’s & Dwight’s of the world) choose their teams on anything other than money. 

 

Flash enough $$$$, and you can have your man.

 Philly’s draft has no doubt been discussed on many other topics and I’ll add my views on the relevant postings.

If we take the ballpark figure that OhCanada quotes of $35 million for the cap considerations with the current roster, rookie signings, re-signings etc going into 2014-15 and put that against the projected salary cap level of $63.2 million and more importantly the minimum cap level of nearly $57 million. Then Sam Hinkie HAVE have to spend the best part of $22 million by next summer to get to the minimum level.

I think we all assume that Philly are in full tank mode so either they will sign players to a one year deal to get up to minimum level or more likely look to take salary dumps to get extra draft picks going forward.

If we look at likely FA’s I think we rule out the top guys or experienced guys chasing a title. Sure they could offer say Luol Deng a big front loaded deal to help get up towards the minimum cap spend but with all respect to Luol he’ll likely want to get onto a play off/contenders team.

If they had managed to get one of the big 3 fit to go from day one, taken a ready made guy at 10 lets say McDermott and combined with MCW and a fit Noel then that would have been an appealing young core for any FA to consider given the young cores upside.

Now any FA is looking at MCW and a fit Noel plus maybe Thad Young as the team’s young core plus of course Embiid returning being the timescale unknown.

I’d rule out Greg Monroe for if they offered him a near max deal and he fits in well with a fit Noel how do you then fit in Embiid as Philly would no doubt see as a long term starter or they look to operate a 3 man big rotation which never quite seems to work on occasion.

I guess that Gordon Hayward would look to stay in Utah as the young talent there should surely start to produce results soon.

I think we rule out any PG FA’s as well with MCW in-situ.

That in my opinion leaves them with someone like Lance Stephenson as a top target and they do have room to make him a major offer which the Pacers may struggle to match.

Lance has lots of issues but on the 76ers he’d be one of the main guys and become one of the senior players if Sam Hinkie and Brett Brown think they could handle him, he could be worth chasing.

 The Jazz don’t have to worry about contracts just yet, they will probably do the same with Kanter and Burks that they did with Hayward and that is see how they play this year and then let the market determine their value and pay. Favors has his contract 4 yrs around 48 to 50 mil. Hayward will get his, I think in the 10 mil area 4 yrs and all the rest are on rookie contracts or non garenteed contracts. The Jazz could resign Kanter and Burks but I think they wait because the don’t really know how good they are yet. I think the Jazz will also be looking to help a team or two out by trading for vets with bigger contracts but aren’t in their teams future plans like they did last yr with GS, thus obtaining more assets,(probably picks), in doing that they can get their team salary up to the minumum. Hayward and Favors are the two most senior players on the team at present, Hayward is 24, Evans is 26 and they are the oldest guys on the team. Favors is 22 for an other month or so. Young team , FO probably will want to bring in a couple of vets just for locker room presence and to help the young kids along. Marvin Williams IMO is likely to re up with the Jazz and that would be good for this young group, he was solid last year and will accept whatever roll the coaches ask him to play.

 current roster (Philly daily news) and man it is ugly. I will say I like that Aaron Craft, Sean Kilpatrick and Melvin Ejim are included in their summer rosters, all three should have a decent shot to make the 15 man roster this fall. To answer the original question this would be a great time to sign a good free agent To a multiple year deal. Personally I think a SG would be the best direction. They have a ton of money to spend just to get to the cap floor, I see a lot of it going towards vets on 1 year deals.

unless he feel like he’s going to be the best player there…  Meaning he gets to take whatever shot he wants, when he wants…  I can possibly see Lance going there, but it still will take damn near max money to do it…  I see the Pacers giving Lance around $10 million a year…  So, the 76ers will NEED to max him out…  Or anyone that’s stupid enough to go there knowing they want to be a team with a chance at the #1 pick next year…  

To be honest, I don’t see the 76ers going after anyone in FA…  Why do they want to improve their roster anytime soon?  I simply don’t see it, plus it’s no reason to go after a SF and sign him to a big contract because Saric is their SF of the future, no?  I’m really tired talking about the 76ers, there are many teams that are looking extremely better than them next year…  They have the worst roster in the NBA…

 One thing that sprang to mind is that if Philly tank again and hope for a top pick in 2015 that a lot of the top prospects then play the same positions that MCW, Embiid and Noel play/will play in the NBA so are they maybe already being pushed towards the likes of Selden, LeVert and especially Kelly Oubre in next year’s draft?

I know that so much can change in a year but that looking at next year’s likely crop it was a thought I had.
