Orlando give up quite a bit for mostly Noel

I hate it. And how would sixers be able to get russell and winslow

Not awful but I don't do that if I"m the Sixers.
Wroten and Fornier are kind of a wash
Capela is a project. If I'm the Sixers, I"m done with that.
So the Sixers get Aaron Gordon and the #5 pick for Noel and the OKC pick.
That might seem like an interesting trade but the Sixers already have a high energy PF that's better than Gordon in Thomas Robinson. So I don't want Aaron Gordon.
I'd like to get into the top 10 in this draft but I"m not sacrificing Noel to do it. Guys like him are hard to find.

You can't be serious with this Thomas Robinson better than Aaron Gordon stuff. Robinson was fun, sure, but c'mon man. Also, he's a free agent.

76ers future is bright- do you read or think before you post? So if they get the 5th pick. And add that to their own top 3 pick. That equals two top prospects. Yay lesson of the day. If this was a one time mistake that's one thing, you consistently post stuff like this. Just think and breath and relax before you post. It'll benefit all

I can see the trade but I'm curious.
sixers are giving up too much there.
Noel for gordan and the fifth spot is fair value and more likely. And I really can only see that happening if the Sixers get okafor or towns in the draft. If not they don't really need to trade Noel.

Pizza the reason why I said sixers won't do this is because we don't need 3 more bench players. Aaron Gordon is a bust because I don't see any flashes of him being an nba caliber player. Fournier is just useless for the sixers and clint is a bust as well. Sixers need to keep noel and have him play with embiid because that is the key part to our future. And I would most definitely rather have mcrae and Covington split time at small forward so we r good at that position so we don't need winslow and he's not even a good shooter.

I bet Thomas Robinson was the joke of the league for a year or two. He was the 5th pick in the draft and an absolute bust. Yeah, I got it.
But since he's been in Philly, he's played like the 5th pick in the draft. In March he averaged 9 points, 7.5 rebounds in 18 minutes per game. In April, it was 9 points and 8.5 boards per game.
Leading up to getting picked up by the Sixers, he had only played over that average minutes 7 times the entire season. He also had 21 games that he got 0 minutes.
I get it. You love Gordon. He was a high pick. I've watched Robinson play. He's very, very active. Big. And Aaron Gordon isn't coming close to the numbers he's put up.
So I might be generous in calling those two a wash. I have Robinson here. He's a FA and wants to stay here. I don't think I need to break the bank to keep him here. And I want him here.
Mock him all you want. Ever since he's gotten his chance he's played like his pedigree.
