Waiting for the questions to input. Please give it a few minutes before we start.

Do the sixers front office think they found a long term solution at shooting guard with nik staukas?

by Tony 9/25/2015 5:13:05 PM
I can't be 100 percent sure of that just because of last season. However, I will say the Sixers will give him every opportunity to prove that he can become of the solutions.

by kepompey 9/25/2015 5:14:22 PM
any chance that the 76ers will pick up Anthony Bennett?

by David Cheung 9/25/2015 5:14:26 PM
Great question. They were interested in him during the 2013-14 draft. The only problem is what will you do with Dario next season.

What do you make of this notion that has seemingly been going around over the last few days Brett Brown might not be the coach who sees this "plan" all the way through?

by Jim 9/25/2015 5:16:09 PM
Anything can happen. Usually the first coach of a rebuild doesn't see things through. Not sure if this is a similar situation. Brett Brown is doing a great job considering what he's working with. I think he deserves a chance to coach the team when they take the next step.

by kepompey 9/25/2015 5:17:52 PM
Whats the deal with Jordan McRae?

by We are 76ers Believers 9/25/2015 5:17:57 PM
He's scheduled to come to camp

by kepompey 9/25/2015 5:18:06 PM
Did the Sixers make any attempt to re-sign Thomas Robinson? Don't you think their frontcourt depth is extremely lacking?

by Do you enjoy watching... 9/25/2015 5:18:12 PM
They did not make an attempt. I don't think so with Reshaun Holmes, Carl Landry, J. Grant, and Furkan Aldemir

by kepompey 9/25/2015 5:19:15 PM
Who do u think makes the team as the third PG? Canaan, Jackson, Wilbekin?

by David 9/25/2015 5:19:29 PM
I need to see what they do in training camp before I make a educated decision. But as of right now, I think Canaan would be the favorite. He's the only one with NBA experience.

by kepompey 9/25/2015 5:20:33 PM
The 76ers are apparently only going to hold onto 3 Point Guards, who do you think makes the team?

by We are 76ers Believers 9/25/2015 5:20:43 PM
Still early. But I would say: Tony Wroten, Kendall Marshall and Isaiah Canaan. But Pierre Jackson is also in the mix.

by kepompey 9/25/2015 5:21:43 PM
how many of the 4 first rounders do you anticipate on keeping assuming they all go through

by Aaron 9/25/2015 5:21:54 PM
All that depends what the Sixers do in the lottery. If they are No. 1, I can see them keeping all four, assuming they get all four. If not, I can see them using one to trade up to the top pick.

by kepompey 9/25/2015 5:22:53 PM
Who are the Sixers interested in at point guard? What are the rumors concerning Hinkie operating trying to get one. Or is he just going to allow that to be the hole to keep the sixers from drifting away too far from a top 4 pick?

by Zeru 9/25/2015 5:23:23 PM
Hinkie is always looking to upgrade the roster. However, just because he asks about a prospect or an agents call him doesn't mean that he's as interested as some people think.

by kepompey 9/25/2015 5:24:23 PM
Do you think the sixers actually think Embiid will come back? Do they still think that he will be a star?

by Tony 9/25/2015 5:24:29 PM
I think they are optimistic because they have to be. I also think they are hoping that this could be a wakeup call for him to work harder than he did this past season. Let's face it, Embiid has a great skillset. He just needs to remain healthy. If he can do that, he's the face the franchise. So yes, they are optimistic or hopeful that he'll come back and be a star.

by kepompey 9/25/2015 5:26:39 PM
If Nerlens and Okafor dont work well together this season, do you think they would trade Noel after the season?

by David 9/25/2015 5:27:02 PM
You never know. I don't think I would trade him, though. As hopeful they are about Embiid, he has a injury history. You don't trade away someone like Noel before finding out if Embiid can remain healthy.

by kepompey 9/25/2015 5:28:17 PM
What about sg

by o 9/25/2015 5:28:41 PM
I think Stauskas will be the starting shooting guard

by kepompey 9/25/2015 5:28:59 PM
Carl Landry and Gerald Wallace, do they both make the team?

by We are 76ers Believers 9/25/2015 5:29:05 PM
Not 100 percent sure about Wallace. He's would be a great locker room guy. It would be interesting to see what the Sixers feel about him. I could see them trying to trade him before the season. But at the same time, he comes with a nice salary. So it might be hard to do that. The Sixers would benefit from his leadership

by kepompey 9/25/2015 5:31:19 PM
at what point do we trade some our assets to get a player of real concrete value?

by Aaron 9/25/2015 5:31:30 PM
Great question. I thought that would happen this summer. However, it looks more like next summer. Maybe during the draft.

by kepompey 9/25/2015 5:32:15 PM
We saw in the summer league that the Sixers didn't really slowing down their offense for Jahlil Okafor. They are a face-paced team. Say he struggles in that kind of offense, as we did see at some points during the summer league, during the regular season. Do you see a situation where the Sixers decide to slow down their offensive tempo for the betterment of Jahlil Okafor?

by We are 76ers Believers 9/25/2015 5:32:37 PM
I do at times. But I also see him getting in better shape and being able to run the floor the way they would like.

by kepompey 9/25/2015 5:33:17 PM
Hi Keith, What's the latest on Saric ??? Will he be playing this year or next year or ???

by Quan 9/25/2015 5:33:24 PM
It looks like that he wants to play for the Sixers in the 2016-17 season. I really wanted to get out of his overseas contract this summer and couldn't.

by kepompey 9/25/2015 5:34:19 PM
Everybody seems to like Ben Simmons but I think the best player in next year's draft will be Brandon Ingram. He reminds me of Tracy McGrady. Who do you think fits the sixers this early from what you know about early prospects.

by Zeru 9/25/2015 5:34:28 PM
Sorry, I don't know much about this projected upcoming draft class other than Ben Simmons and a few other names. Sorry. I will learn more midway through the college season.

by kepompey 9/25/2015 5:35:33 PM
Have you ever seen Sam Hinkie shoot a basketball? Does he have a good stroke?

by Hank 9/25/2015 5:35:46 PM
No I have not. But I've see him make a lot of solid draft-day moves. I think that's all the ownership group cares about. LOL

by kepompey 9/25/2015 5:36:49 PM
Hey Keith, What's the latest on Embiid's recovery - How is he progressing ????

by Ricardo 9/25/2015 5:36:54 PM
It's still early in the recovering process. He just had the surgery weeks ago.

by kepompey 9/25/2015 5:37:21 PM
Is stauskas the starting sg on opening night?

by Dbfresh 9/25/2015 5:37:24 PM
I would say that position is his to lose at this point.

by kepompey 9/25/2015 5:37:53 PM
Did they break ground on the practice facility yet?

by Sean 9/25/2015 5:38:23 PM
Yes

by kepompey 9/25/2015 5:38:28 PM
Assuming good health, do u think Okafor, Noel and Embiid as our core have the talent to lead us to a championship?

by David 9/25/2015 5:42:07 PM
