I kind of want to keep Young and KO is a nice off the bench guy.   Sully, I doubt we could get a pound of dead fish for him.   You never read reports of a GM wanting to trade for him, ever.

I originally didn't like the KO pick, but I see him developing now into a decent player.  On the flip side, I didn't want sully to be dealt in the potential Love deal, but now am leaning that he may need to be the one sent out.  I think Noel or embid could be had, especially if the divers land the top pick.

If we could get Embiid that would be amazing, although i'm still concerned about his injuries

Would you go after Embiid or Noel, if you had the choice?

KOlynck another year in gym and working with trainers and that block he made  on break away will be even more common, Zeller sure can run the court,zeller ,kelly and wright would be 3 bigs that really move all with different skill sets--

I think that if Philly were interested in this type of trade that they would want Olynyk, Young, and either our own pick in June or, preferably for us, two of our less valuable first round picks. I would be in favor of this deal but I'm not sure Philly would do it unless our own pick is included. At that point, it wouldn't be worth doing for us. Getting Towns is a bit unrealistic. I even think that Turner from Texas will move up out of our reach and, of course, Okafor is a pipe dream. Cauley-Stein might turn out to be the best available big when we pick. Interesting trade proposal.

i doubt it'll be common for KO, though I do want us to keep KO. I've always maintained that he will be a rock solid 6th man once we become a good team. A skilled 7-footer like him should be able to terrorize benches easily, and plus, he'll be able to close games in a pinch.

I wouldn't give them our highest pick but I would be okay with giving them one of our other 2015 picks and maybe a pick in the future.

The great thing would be that we wouldn't have to draft a big man, we could really use a player like Winslow or Johnson. That would be a really good defensive team!

IMO the C's would be giving up the two best prospects--in KO and JY--in that deal.

Also, why would Green hang around for that?
