76ers offseason(slight change from last week)

1. Sign Rodney Stuckey. Stuckey, under the radar, is 28, gives some veteran leadership to the young backcourt. putting up 13 pts a night for indy off the bench. he is a unrestricted FA not making much(current salary is 1.3 mill per). good shooter, decent defender, and good size at 6'5".

2. Draft DeAngelo Russell with own pick(currently#2). great scorer, amazing court vision, excellent lefty jump shooter, and gets teammates involved in the offense

3. Get lucky and get the lakers pick this year(currently only a 17% chance of that happening) and pick Mario hezonja(6'8" with an amazing shot and great athleticism) at #6 or #7. If that doesn't happen, trade some package of miamis #1(#11-15) and OKC's #1(19-20) for pick #7 or #8 to get hezonja.

Bring the rookies along and have vets to spot start and learn from.

PG: Wroten/Russell/Canaan
SG: Stuckey/Hezonja/McCrae
SF: Covington/LBMAM/Grant
PF: Noel/TRobinson/Saric
C: Embiid/Sims

Eventually, starting 5 will be Russell, Hezonja, Covington, Noel, Embiid. Bench of Saric, Stuckey, Wroten, Grant, TRobinson, Sims, Canaan, McCrae, lbmam.

Hezinja isn't avle to play the 2 in America. Sorrrrry. Also, would take probably 3-5 years and about .0001% that everyone teaches their potential before the sixers are competitive. Heinke will trade away if it's more than a year of bad. As always.

Rodney Stuckey is a year or two older than I would like but I like his game, his size. Yesterday he announced that he wants to stay in Indiana.

As for the draft, I see no need to rush around. The Sixers will draft a top 5 player. I wouldn't mind if only the OCK pick conveyed this season. They'll be adding Top 5 pick, Embiid and McRae into the mix next season. Why not just let the young guys mesh and hold onto the picks- which actually become more valuable- except for OKC maybe- the longer they last?

Miami pick: Top 10 protected this year and next then unprotected as Wade and Bosh get older.
Lakers pick: Top 5 protected this year, top 3 next, then unprotected as they try to transition that roster. Kobe has one more year and there's nothing on that roster besides him.
OKC pick: That one probably gets worse. They had a down year but they have a really good roster so that pick could turn into 2 second rounders in a couple years.

phillyrich. I agree with some of your points. we do need a few vets though, and I also like stuckeys game(maybe we can entice him to come to philly, future may be brighter here then indy). either way, I like the direction the sixers are heading. I think next year with a seasoned noel, embiid, a top 5 pick, and depending on other teams, possibly a couple more #1's along with a promising young coach(gotta love brett brown) sixers will be a team on the rise.

Read many highly respected scouting reports on hezonja. I have. couldn't find any that suggest he couldn't play the 2 in America. in fact, they all rave about his quickness, surprisingly good defender, high and quick release, and range beyond the 3pt arc, making HIM the matchup problem for other 2's. more then one unbiased report has stated he would be in the talk for a top 3 pick if he played college ball instead of the top-rated European league(which has MUCH better players then college). sixers have a very bright future, unlike some other teams in the tri-state area.

Only reason I hate this is that I'm picking guys way to early. Russel is at best a fourth overall pick. I do see him as top five but not too two. And super Mario is a top ten but not a top 6 or 7. However if the Sixers pick fell to four and they could only get the tenth pick. The. If pick those two guy no problem. If not I need guys with the best chances of being elite players. so you have to go best player available. Russell is not the best guard in this draft. And super Mario isn't good enough to go that high given how he has only played overseas. I can't take a risk he's going to stay over there another year either. I

I'd got mudiay and the best player available.

I think Mudiay will be a bust. Think Adam Morrison.

TreGib: You're right. Players have to be selected at the right spot. If the Sixers are at #2, don't be surprised to hear some buzz about how much they love Okafor or Towns. That will create a trade market for the #2 pick, hopefully from whoever is at 3, 4, or 5. Then the Sixers can pick up an extra asset for dropping down a spot or two and still get their guy. (Sixers give up 2 and OKC pick to Lakers. Lakres give up 4 and Julius Randle?)

Since many love Mudiay, and assuming the Sixers are equally enthralled with him and Russell, they can drop to 4 and still have one of them drop into their laps.

However, I'm more of a Russell fan than Mudiay. I could definitely be wrong but Mudiay has the same buzz about him that Dante Exum did last year. Again, I've never seen him play and I know he was very highly regarded coming out of HS.

G: Russell, Wroten, J. Grant (ND), Canaan, McRae
SF: Covington, J. Grant (older)
F/C: Embiid, Noel, Sims, T. Robinson, Luc Mam
Other: Saric overseas, J. Richardson

I want two 6'5" in my back court that can handle the ball, shoot, etc. Let's see the other teams defend that.

Also note that there are 4 rookies on that roster.

Why do you think he'll be a bust?

I think Russell will be a average player. He uses his height advantage a lot in college. In the NBA most of his shoots won't be availbke to more athletic guards and talkers guards that are in the NBA. Another problem with Russell is he's at best an a serge dribbler. I've seen what mcw did with an average dribbling ability. Turnovers aplenty. I need an explosive fast guard who can run a good pick and roll. Russle is really slow. Surprisingly slow for his production.

Mudiay has a higher upside. Speed can dribble. His shot isn't beoken but it's far from complete. And as for creating your own shot. Mudiay far exceeds Russell. Now we can't be sure either way but I go upside with a high pick.
