Man, y'all Philly fans are feeling yourselves...lol

Seriously, it's well deserved.

So, enjoy and congrats.

:suds:

Fultz was slammed for so long this season, it is nice to see him become an important part of the team, even if he isn't back to 100% of himself.

Yep.

He's making me eat my words because I didn't think he was coming back this year, let alone coming back and playing well.

I'm very happy for him and the 76ers.

If you guys get the 10 th pick and it turns into Mikal Bridges......

Embarrassment of riches....

I would love if we got Bridges.

Honestly if the Lakers ping ball is the No. 1 pick I'm not even sure who the Sixers would take there. Doncic and Ayton would be almost superfluous.

Doncic.....

Oh, that would be filthy.

But, if you don't keep Ersan next year, Ayton or JJJ.....yikes.

What is the range it needs to fall in for you to get it?

1.1% chance to get the No. 1. 4% chance of getting a top 3 pick.

Pretty unlikely. Unless you are the Cavs.

No, I mean what pick numbers?

Don't the Celtics only get it if it's between like 2-5?

Or, do I have that backwards?

Well I guess it is somewhere around 3% since they could only get #2 or #3 at this point.

FTR, I'm ok with the Celtics getting it since that would mean we get the Kings unprotected pick next year. Thanks Vlad!!!

It probably is the biggest summer of his life. There's a lot riding on it for both him and the team. He and the Lakers definitely showed that they are headed in the right direction, but if he's not putting in the off-season work, top FA's aren't going to be impressed.

Even his teammates say a lot is on him. Kyle Kuzma is his best friend on the team and said "For us to be great, no matter who comes here, everything is going to fall on his head. No matter if it's a superstar that comes or not. That's just the reality we live in."

I dont think Flyerhawk really meant to say that..............
I don't think he understood my question.

I can be unclear at times.

So, I looked it up myself.

The Celtics get it if it's pick 3-5.

Yes your lack of clarity is a serious mental disorder.................
actually we have a 3% chance and only if the pick is #2 or #3. No chance the pick can be 4,5 or 6.

Put me on the record for stating that Ayton's college numbers more closely resemble Okafor's than they do Embiid, KAT, or AD.....
