Chicago doesn't need a SG (they have Lavine) but they do need an SF -- Kormaz is plenty young enough and decent enough to be a rotation piece now and develop into a starter beside Lavine. It's a bit of a steep price to pay, granted, but the Bulls need a major rebuild. The more picks they have, the better, and they're not wagering anything in the future so they won't lose out on their own picks.

I like the thinking with trading up and giving away pieces I don’t really need. I think I have decided on doing something similiar to what you said.

If anything that's my only fault with 2K, there seems to be no middle ground on contracts. The stars want absurd deals and then everyone else takes pennies on the dollar. Going to be interesting how Philly navigates the off-season though. They have the potential to run a deadly lineup of Fultz-Covington-Simmons-Saric-Embiid, not to mention whoever they end up drafting.

When I did a test offseason run I think that’s what he asked for, but yea good point it would take a little more then that to get him back. I’ll be doing the FA contracts myself so I’ll look more into it afterthoughts draft. As I think I have made my mind up what to do I’m just trying to keep everything fair and real as it’s easy to cheese on trading up in the draft. I should have a decent amount of cap space

I hate you have to sacrifice the suspense of the off-season and draft to some degree because the CPU AI isn't smart.

76ers 2018 Draft Recap

Once again the Celtics and 76ers have made a big trade involving a top draft pick.

Celtics Get
Draft Rights to Mohamed Bamba (8th overall pick)

76ers Get
2019 Kings Draft Pick (top 1 protected)

* If the Kings pick lands in the top 1 then 76ers would get the Grizzles pick if it lands 6, 7 or 8.

* If the Kings pick lands in the top 1 and Grizzles pick is 9-14 the 76ers get either a lottery protected Clippers pick or a Celtics 1st in 2019 in addition to the Grizzles pick.

* If the Kings and Grizzles picks both land from 5 to 9 whichever is the highest choice the 76ers get.

* If the Kings, Celtics, Clippers and Grizzles picks all are 10 or lower then the 76ers get the 2 highest of those picks

The Celtics went out in the 1st round of the playoffs this year and Bamba (76 ovr with A- potential) fills the need they have of rebounding and interior defense. The kings pick comes with some protections and will still likely still leave them with 3 first round picks next year. Bamba will step in right away and start at PF.

We knew the 76ers had to make a move in the draft and didn't have a room for all the rookies to play meaningful minutes. The front office must have not fell in love with any of the guards as many expected them to trade up and take one. Still with the 12th pick and those 3 early 2nd's the night isn't over for the 76ers yet.



------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



Colin Sexton
Everyone knew one Guard was going to be drafted and that player ended up being PG Collin Sexton. While numerous conversations with other teams was had in the end the 76ers sit back and got the 2nd PG off the board. Our inside sources tell us Sexton and Duval had the same grade from the front office even though Duval may be more ready to play now. Sexton is 6'3 so he can play some 2 if need be and we expect him to jump T.J for the backup PG spot. His defense and outside shooting does need some work. He can finish at the rim and is a great athlete.


Grayson Allen
The 76ers ended up trading up a few spots with the Warriors and got a J.J Reddick clone in Grayson Allen. Even after the pick the front office said they still hope to bring J.J back so we will have to see how that unfolds. While being 23 may scare some teams off it is a good thing for the 76ers as It puts him around the same age as the stars on the team. While he may never start it gives a nice role player and shooter off the bench.

Ian Paven
With the last of the initial three 2nd round picks a international prospect was taken Ion Paven. He is a 6'8 246 pound SF who will spend 1 year overseas and some reports are out he may not have the upside they thought he did when he was drafted.


** Note **

I hope the pick swap makes sense and is fair so if its not let me know and I can adjust it. I spent countless hours going over so eventually just had to do something and relax lol

I played with him in summer league and he is going to be good. I was torn on him and Duval and I liked a little Duval better just not enough to move up to get him. Duval is a better shooter overall, but Sexton was rated better inside scoring. He is 6'3 can play the 2 guard if I want to play Ben or Fultz at PG. I am going to have a lot of depth so not sure how many minutes he will get as a rookie.
