Sixers swap their pick at #2 to the Lakers for the #4 pick. Lakers add Julius Randall as a sweetener. Sixers balance the trade with the Miami pick at #14. Lakers can have a 2nd rounder if they want it.
Lakers draft big man Towns and PG J. Grant at #14.
Sixers get J. Randall and one of Russell/Mudiay/Stanley Johnson

Something could be there. But we don't need randel unfortunately. We have noel and Embiid already. Do the lakers have any other young high upside players?? If not we can't throw in the 14 th pick. It would be randel and the fourth for the second pick. Assuming records and ping pong balls stay the same. ( a big if).

Randel is still a good move for the Sixers, neither Noel or Embiid are truly Power Forwards.
Sixers could potentially make this deal one of two to move Noel for a good package of assets (ie. good young wing players) to balance out their starting five.

TreGib: Lakers don't any other assets I'd be interested in. I like Randall because he's a space eater on the inside. Would give Sixers front court of: Randall (returning from IR), Embiid (returning from IR), Robinson, Noel, Simms, (with Saric overseas). Its a long season. Sixers are young and have to play with full energy every night. There's plenty of minutes in a full season for those 5 guys.
Triangle O: Not sure why you'd want to move Noel for a wing. He's the anchor on D and he just is getting ready to complete the hard part, his first full year. Why give up on him now?
But Sixers do need wings and they're easier to come by than big men. Add Russell from the draft, keep Grant, McRae, Covington, Wroten.

Randle is too much to move from 4 to 2.

Bogus offer. The Sixers own this pick already, although it is 1-4 protected. So if the pick stays with LA and they make this deal, do they get to keep next year's #1 as well? If not, it makes no sense. It would be like trading one of their picks for another of their picks.

Its not a good move for us.
11 Mar 2015 03:41:26
We would be better off with our own draft picks.

BoyHowdie:
The Lakers pick that the Sixers currently possess is protected 1-5 this year, 1-3 next year, and unprotected the following year.
IF the Sixers wind up at 2 and the Lakers wind up at 4, then the pick for this draft still belongs to the Lakers. It does not convey to the Sixers.
With that being said, with the Lakers keeping their pick this year at #4, I'm suggesting they may want to move up and get a real big man to build their front court around. Julius Randall, while a good prospect, is a little undersized for his style of play. He's not a stretch 4 but a 6'9" banger. Towns is a full 6'11". I'd rather start building my future front court around Towns than Randall.
For the Lakers to move up to #2, the price would be Julius Randall. Actually, that's too much. So the Sixers will balance the trade with the Miami or OKC #1 back to LA. LA can probably come out with J. Grant, PG from ND.
At #4, the Sixers still get one of the guys they want: Russell, Mudiay or Stanley Johnson.
And the Sixers still retain the rights to the Lakers pick next year 1-3 protected, or the following year unprotected.

You might be right. The question is, how do you get the most value for the #2 pick in the draft when there are 3 guys that fit what you need: Mudiay, Russell, Johnson.
Moving down is the right move since you're still guaranteed one of those guys all the way down to 5. But you need to find the right partner.
I can see the Lakers wanting Towns. Someone will trade up to get him. And the Sixers don't need him while having other glaring weaknesses to fill.

I don't need randel. I need a great guard or small forward. They have neither so I would pass.
12 Mar 2015 02:22:45
This trade just won't happen. Like I said before the rumor is that sixers aren't interested in any big men but r very interested in mudiay to replace mcw. I really think russell will drop to like the 6th or 7th pick. I c sixers being interested in drafting either mudiay, grant, harrison twins, and portis. I really think that sixers r going to trade noel and replace him with portis. Portis is very underrated and he looks like a great nba caliber player to me.

I think they keep it simple now. Sixers really only need a PG and SG. I'd like to get both this draft. If they can squeeze another asset out of someone, why not? But we don't know for sure if they have an absolute preference of Mudiay or Russell. So I"m assuming Sixers are willing to have either.
Personally, I want two guys that are 6'5" that can shoot and handle the ball at those positions. So I want 2 MCWs but can shoot.
So for me, that's Russell over Mudiay (this year's Exum) and maybe J. Grant from ND.
Guards: Wroten, Russell, Younger Grant, Jordan McRae
SF: Covington, Older Grant
Front Court: Embiid, Noel, T. Robinson, Simms, Luc MaM
I have 1 roster spot left. Canaan? Free agent? Saric?
