76ers / Nuggets
76er trade Heat #1 and OKC#1 next year and Dario Saric to Denver for this years #7. 76ers draft Russell at #3 and Hezonja at #7. Still have own #1 and Lakers #1 next year. Have backcourt of the future with size(6'5" and 6'8") and shooting ability.
Denver gets two #1 picks next year AND stud Euro in Saric(Saric, 6'10" and only 20 years old went #10 last year, and was projected top 7 if he didn't commit to play guaranteed two years in Europe)
Sixers:
PG: Russell
SG: Hezonja
SF: Covington/Grant
PF: Noel
C: Embiid
I hate giving up Saric, but I think Hezonja is worth it.
comments?

You won't get the 7 for two late first round future picks and an overrated guy who won't play in America and who's game doesn't translate to American style basketball. Otherwise, great as always. You talk about the best prospects ever, and then instantly give up whe. A new potential one is around. Classic sixers fan adhd. Good job with that consistency in your posts lol

It's a decent idea, but ultimately, IMO, it's too much for Hezonja. I would give those 2 picks and Wroten - would the Nuggets go for that?

You're going to have a hard time using the Sixers future picks to move into a decent spot in this year's draft. The teams in the desirable landing spots only have one pick this year so you're asking them to move completely out of this draft and get nothing in return but a future promise.
There are teams with more than one pick this year with the best target being Boston at #16. Do you really want to use two picks next year for the #16 this year? Then have to use another pick or two from there to get into the top 10?
The Sixers are probably better off waiting until next year then trying to get 2 top 10 players in that draft.

I think it's a pretty fair deal. Sixers start there rebuild a little quicker. Denver get to have a few extra pick next season and get a young prospect in saric as well. Problems is teams rarely trade current picks for future picks and that's all. They usually want a pick this year or a player to help ease the wait. I don't think I'm giving up wroten or Covington in this deal so that's the problem I see.

Don't remember ever calling saric the best prospect ever, and i'm not giving up on him. I think you have to give value to get value, especially value at a position of need. I feel trading saric is a big sacrifice, and I wouldn't mind keeping him at all. Just throwing out possible ideas to get Hezonja in the backcourt of the future with Russell. No adhd. and that would be ADD(attention defecit disorder), not ADHD(attention defecit hyperactivity disorder). Big difference. Hope that didn't hurt your feelings again.
