3rd & 7 37yd

will you be happy with the #5,#6 picks and get Hezonja and Winslow?

by Pep76ers 5/15/2015 5:31:28 PM
I would be happy with that yes, considering this could be another season of growing pains

by kepompey 5/15/2015 5:32:10 PM
Do you believe the sixes should take another big man?

by JJK 5/15/2015 5:32:21 PM
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! LOL

by kepompey 5/15/2015 5:32:34 PM
Thank you for taking the time to do this. I enjoy your work. Be well.

Thanks for the comment!

by kepompey 5/15/2015 5:32:54 PM
I love the job Brett Brown has done. Is this situation wearing on him and should we be concerned?

by D Fense 5/15/2015 5:33:08 PM
I think so at times. I don't think fans should be concerned right now.

by kepompey 5/15/2015 5:34:15 PM
For Noel and Embiid to work, Russell has to be the guy. Any substance to the report Embiid was offered to the Knicks or at least discussed?

by steve6 5/15/2015 5:34:49 PM
I think the Sixers have been in discussions with a lot of teams about a lot of players. How deep those discussions are I don't know? But I don't think this was a deep one.

by kepompey 5/15/2015 5:35:42 PM
Is the tanking done? Can we expect to see a genuine effort to win games in 2015/2016?

by Brett2 5/15/2015 5:35:45 PM
It is not done. I think the team will struggle again next season and I doubt that they'll go after any free agents this summer.

by kepompey 5/15/2015 5:36:28 PM
Do you see any young players who could become trade bait due to a contract situation that the Sixers might be willing to part with some draft picks for?

by D Fense 5/15/2015 5:36:38 PM
Covington could be come trade bait for a team looking to get a shooter. Noel and Embiid are also trade bait

by kepompey 5/15/2015 5:37:08 PM
Should the Sixers pursue Tom Thibodeau if he becomes available? Who do you view as a better long term fit for the Sixers: Brown or Tibs?

by Brett 5/15/2015 5:37:11 PM
No, because they have a good coach in Brett Brown and it would be a waste of time. He won't come to the Sixers.

by kepompey 5/15/2015 5:38:31 PM
Sorry for the confusion ... I meant are there young players on other teams that might be on the trade market due a contract situation?

by D Fense 5/15/2015 5:38:57 PM
Oh, I think we will have to wait until after the draft to see. However, I don't see them going hard after other players.

by kepompey 5/15/2015 5:41:53 PM
Does Hollis Thompson has a future on this team?

by Brett2 5/15/2015 5:41:57 PM
It depends on who they get. For instance, if they get solid swingmen, it could be hard for time.

by kepompey 5/15/2015 5:43:01 PM
What does the loss of Chad Iske mean for this team? Are the Sixers looking internally or externally for a replacement? Any indication who is on their short list?

by Brett 5/15/2015 5:43:16 PM
I was told they are looking inside and outside. Billy Lange's name came up as a possible replacement.

by kepompey 5/15/2015 5:44:15 PM
Does Furkan Aldemir make this team next year? He looked terrible at the 5 . . .

by Brett 5/15/2015 5:44:31 PM
I think he will be on the team yes, so they can get an extended look at him. He'll play in the summer league and work out in Philly this summer and play next season

by kepompey 5/15/2015 5:45:21 PM
Do you think the sixes would draft any of the two Europeans over the top four guys?

by Villanova 5/15/2015 5:45:31 PM
Probably not. I think the four players you are talking about will be among the top five selections at least. Winslow could sneak in at four

by kepompey 5/15/2015 5:46:59 PM
For all of his talents on the offensive side, Tony Wroten just doesn't seem to fit the Hinkie/Brown system. Even when he plays, he seems like an anomaly compared to their style. Do they see him purely as trade bait or a worthy player to hold on to?

by For all of Tony Wroten's... 5/15/2015 5:47:15 PM
Before the injury, I would say trade bait. Right now, I don't know. I will say that Sam Hinkie is high on him.

by kepompey 5/15/2015 5:48:06 PM
Who would you like to see them get?

by Villanova 5/15/2015 5:48:10 PM
I think Russell is a great fit for them.

by kepompey 5/15/2015 5:48:28 PM
Other than the contract, were there other reasons the Sixers were willing to trade McDaniels? Deficiencies in his game, attitude, etc?

by D Fense 5/15/2015 5:48:49 PM
I just think they didn't believe he was a great fit for the role they wanted him for down the future.

by kepompey 5/15/2015 5:49:32 PM
Two part question: (a) how do you feel about the rebuild and (b) how do most of your readers feel about the rebuild?

by Stan 5/15/2015 5:49:39 PM
I personally think the rebuild has been stuck in neutral for too long. I understand what the Sixers are trying to do. However, I would like to see them go hard at free agents at this point and build a team. But I am on board with the plan. I would just like to see it move forward.

by kepompey 5/15/2015 5:51:28 PM
On a scale of 1-10, how on board are you with the rebuild?

by Stan 5/15/2015 5:51:40 PM
I would say 8 with the plan. I just think they need to start building a team now

by kepompey 5/15/2015 5:52:32 PM
Any prospects enamored with the Sixers like Jabari was with the Bucks? Perhaps Russell? He can tank his Wolves workout like Parker did in Cleveland lol.

by steve6 5/15/2015 5:53:34 PM
I'm hearing that Russell really likes the Sixers. LOL

by kepompey 5/15/2015 5:53:51 PM
Any chance that Sixers could take on bad contract + offer some seconds to get one of the protected picks to convey this year? Esp. Miami's.

by Jason 5/15/2015 5:54:38 PM
Why not? Yes, I can see them trying to do that.

by kepompey 5/15/2015 5:55:12 PM
Thanks for joining this week's chat. I will talk to y'all next week.
