    No reason to trade for another center with injury issues. Center is least of our worries

    Sure Philly, I didn't see Okafor, Embiid or Simmons being demoted to the D-League 'purely for injury rehab'

    This is punishment/retribution for publicly asking for a trade.

    Well we need another big..not sure this is the guy to go after...but if either Nene or CC go down, we're screwed. Trez is too small to make up for the presence either provide..

    If he has any kind of jumpshot. Sure thing but not going to lose Capella in the process. I don't think the Sixers need a post player in return.

    Is Noel really any good?

    Or is he just putting up numbers on a historically bad team?

    It's hard for me to evaluate players on that team because there's not structure in Philly for the last few years.

    I watch embiid and I know he has real talent to be a true game changer. I never got that feeling from Noel.

    Even if he is better than Capela it's not by much. He's injured his knees 2x now and he's about to get paid. Any smart team would just hang on to Capela.

    Only way we do this is if we can get Noel and flip Capela plus other assets for a real game changer/allstar level player.

    I also like Holmes a lot. He has more upside than Harrell. Can shot block and hit a baseline jumper.

    Yup, looking at that roster it really seems like Holmes is the Morey type of guy to snag. He has stretch potential and blocks shots everywhere.

    I absolutely agree, i hope we can steal him, i have no idea of what they think about him in Phila though...i kinda remember about reading something about how they're basically playing him as a 5 when Embiid is out so, with Saric and Simmons playing the 4 in the future, with Embiid and Okafor or Noel as a backup (if not some veteran), i'm not sure he'll have minutes there at all, but i really don't know.

    Drafting 3 Centers probably wasn't the best move. Sam Hinke is looking like a pretty terrible GM.

    Hinkie wanted Porzingas, but ownership overode him for Okafor.

    Hinkie was an excellent GM and knew exactly what he is doing. He has put the Sixers in a great spot moving forward.
