Ya and I think Wolves walk from that which is part of what I am getting at on his value. Other teams are going to be lower than they likely were a year or two ago.Quote:

no need to wonder, its in the toilet. Everyone who would be trading for him knows that he is still a project. While hes only 24-25 years of age, he should be further along in his development so its not a secret as to why the 6ers would want to part with him. And 6ers fans, while hopeful; have to come to grips with that realization also. When Paul George had a piss poor performance in the bubble last year his value was def at its lowest. Same could be said about Siakam. GM's play close attention to post season performances as it is the ultimate measuring stick, and with Ben his flaws are glaring. The fact that his biggest flaw is shooting, scoring in an era where those two things have become crucially important, there is no rational way to think that his value hasn't taken a significant hit because it most def has. Thats not to say he still doesnt have value because he does. His skill set is still special, but again who ever takes him on its going to be with the understanding that he still has alot of developing to do before becoming a polished piece.Quote:

Tomorrow night, holy cow time flies. I thought the draft lottery was way off in the distance. Once teams have a better idea of where they're picking, that should open up trades for sure.Quote:

I really think any Ben deal, to get full value is going to have to be a 3 or 4 team deal at least.
Funny you mention Siakim that is another guy I have repeatedly mentioned targeting for that reason. I think Rosas is going to be a buyer with the idea of Russell/Edwards/Mcdaniels/?/Towns as our starters. (Mcdaniels is flexible at either forward spot if needed). Beasley/Culver/Juancho and our other young guys/role players along with maybe a pick or two could/should all be on the block right now in search of another nice piece imo.Quote:

A stud scoring/shooting guard to play with seems very ideal next to Embiid but I am not sure they can get it anymore. Someone is going to take a chance on the talent absolutely though. As others have mentioned I think if you build correctly around him it can at least hide some of these issues more and a GM will wanna take that chance.
I said when he asked out of Boston and I’ll say it again. They should look into Kemba Walker. Simmons is a negative asset. Getting a guy that makes the team better and has a shorter deal is a win. With Walkers value down and Simmon not completely In the tank yet it makes a lot of sense.Quote:

Ben may not fetch a Beal or Dame anymore, value wise. But he at least needs to fetch 2 starters, imo. With Harris potentially being shipped out as well for someone who can have similar production on a lesser deal, for tax purposes.
Right now, Embiid should be the only untouchable piece with Curry a distant 2nd. Outside of that, Thyb, Maxey, and Shake have value at all time highs with the large contracts of Ben, Tobi, and to a lesser extent Hill.
Sheesh, moving those 6 right there in a couple deals should net several stars or near star level players.
I’ll respond some of this other stuff at home, but I wanted Ty Lou or Nate McMillan in the offseason and I was told they were both bad choices. [emoji2369]

Nate did seem like a bad choice at the time but holy cow kudos to that man. First conference final ever! If he somehow finds a way to beat the Bucks [emoji50]Quote:

Just sayin'. My phone is working...
I think the issue in Indy was fit. But the point is both guys have and continue to adjust. Doc is just name value Brett Brown.Quote:
