Sixers only like 2.5 games back from the Kings meaning those pick swaps will end up being hilariously terrible but not for the reasons we assumed

I was really curious as to if one could project the Sixers current wins forward or not, and the first thing that stood out to me is the Sixers have the 27th most difficult schedule so far, but were projected (depending on who you go with) to have one of the 5 most difficult schedules in the league this year at the beginning of the season.

Does that mean that projections were bad, or, that the Sixers have a massively difficult second half season?

Their schedule was difficult because they don't get to play the sixers. It's like the opposite of the Warriors, but I think---like the warriors---their second half is much harder

Since i started it here is a trade to make Toronto capable of taking down the Cavaliers in the east.

Agreed with this. Also the addition of Ben Simmons joining will produce more cool poo poo but still probably make the team worse in the short term as he goes through his rookie pains.

Won't be enough to be worse than the Nets or Heat though. Be interesting (terrifying) to see what moves Colangelo can make if the Sixers end up with like the 3rd/4th and 5th/6th picks in the draft.

Goon hive mind at the time was let him go Chicago iirc.

Phil should have worked out a sign & trade with the Bulls. Bulls had a bunch of assets available. 2 firsts in the 2014 draft, a future Kings 1st, and Mirotic who was the best young European coming over. Would have allowed the Knicks to rebuild with a bunch of young assets in their pocket.

So the Wolves want to trade Ricky Rubio for...another starting PG that isn't as good as Rubio but makes less?

I guess, and Rubio is 26 and making under 15 mil a year, which seems like a good deal for a PG like him. Wolves have a ton of cap space and have another ~13 mil a year with a guy they can probably medically retire here soon. I don't understand this.

Sure, Rubio is a 26 year old shooting 37%, but Dunn will be a 23 year old shooting 37% so its not like you start clearing the way right now.

I'm sorta numb to Rubio trade rumors right now though.
