I'm praying that somehow the Sixers get Wiggins at 3 and Embiid at 10.

aBagorn posted:Am I wrong for still being prepared to pull the trigger on Embiid at 3 if that's the way the chips fall? Having no clue about the prospects in next year's draft, I do know the Sixers don't have a major incentive to make the playoffs due to a prior trade with lottery protection. The biggest possible benefit of taking Embiid (and not pressuring him this season) would be to essentially make him this season's Noel as they tank for another top 5 spot in the draft with little pressure to make major team improvements. Of course, in my mind, had Embiid still been healthy, I think my ideal scenario would've been getting Wiggins, playing a season that starts off fairly poorly and ends on like a 15 game winning streak, finishing at say, 10th in the East. That flash of hope would carry over into the off season where they draft a decent top ten player and sign one or two major free agents, making the 2015 season the one of high expectations. My realistic main concern is that this Embiid injury pushes back the Sixers' plan for longterm success one whole year if they can't get a true franchise player in this draft.

I'm praying every GM 1-9 listens to this advice so the Sixers can steal at 10. I wouldn't even be too mad if we missed out on Wiggins if we got one of the "next tier" guys and Embiid.
