Following potential 2014 draftees

OK -- combining the idea from this thread along with the stuff from the other thread about the possibility of Tomic being brought over:

In the unlikely event that both:
a) Wiggins and Embiid are gone by Philly's #3 pick
b) Philly isn't sold that a star will come out of any pick below #2 (or thinks that there's no big difference between their 3-5 preferences)

Would you send Kanter, the worse of our two 2017 first-rounders (or this year's #23 if Sixers preferred), and #5 to Philly for #3?

As I say, I think it's very unlikely that the Sixers are interested, but Noel (with potentially out-of-this world defense save for his lack of girth, decent passing, and very little need for low-post touches) seems to be as good a potential complement for Kanter as anybody.
 
Kanter, Vonleh (or Gordon) and the #23 for Parker.

Nope. I'm just not sold on Jabari Pyrite. He's fools gold. He'll come in and score a bunch; likely win ROY. But in the end, Vonleh and Gordon will be more valuable because they'll be able to play both ends of the court.

That's not more. We received Favors, a top three pick, a late round pick, Devon Harris and cash for Deron.

We'd be sending a top five pick and two nice bench players and a future first.

That's not >>> than what we received for Deron. If anything, it's equivalent.

My goodness. Looking at what we received back for Deron (Favors/Kanter)...man, has any team other than Cleveland drafted two #3 picks that have been so disappointing? With two #3 picks, you'd expect one to be an All Star by now.

We love our franchise and that's great, but we haven't been hitting home runs lately. You could even argue we haven't even been hitting singles.

What if we add Gordon to the mix. Has there ever been a more disappointing team with four top 10 picks as starters?

I think embiid will be gone by the time philly picks
 
I think the Jazz will give Vonleh a long hard look... They seemed to really like Olynyk last year:

The Jazz put Kelly Olynyk through a workout... The guards do something called "The Jazz 100": It's a hundred three-point shots in a short period of time, taking ten from ten different spots in ten different manners on the floor, so some can be coming off a pick and roll, some can be spot-ups where it's kick out to you... For the big guys, they have them do a drill where they take [18-footers]... However, with Kelly Olynyk, the Jazz... had him take threes... [Olynyk told me] no other team had him take more than five threes by the time he had come to Salt Lake City. His next spot, by the way, leaving Salt Lake was to go to Boston... In the workout for the Jazz, Olynyk hits, I think it was, 63 of 100 threes which was like the second-most amount of threes that anyone hit.

If Vonleh can somehow "light it up" from deep in the workout I think the Jazz would take a long hard look at pairing him with Favors (in the long term), with Kanter off the bench for that scoring punch.


I still like Randle, but I think personnel wise, they would be a lot more comfortable taking a guy who can stretch the floor next to Favors who has absolutely no range.
