Thanks for letting us keep the pick!
What did we give up to get your now unprotected 2018 pick?

I can't imagine any 76ers fans are too upset about it any longer. The real kick in the balls were those few seconds when we thought -- "Sacramento is in the top 3, which means we're probably getting 2 picks this year." Pretty easy to get over it when you consider the fact that the 76ers were still able to exercise the Sacramento swap and jump up two spots. The Lakers pick will probably still be a lottery pick next year, but depending on player progression and what they do in free agency or via trade, it could end up being in the 7-14 range. Still valuable, depending on what players will be available.
I'd rather let you guys have a 7-14 range player than a 4-6 range player.
Of course -- but there's no guarantee where the Lakers will be picking next year. The pick is unprotected. Even if L.A. has a decent record, they could end up with a top 3 pick next year.
Difference is, they won't be deliberately tanking next season like they did this year.

Such a disgrace to the game.
Tanking?
Yeah thank god the sixers never do that!
And most of the people here hated it. Enut called it a disgrace and most of us think that is the case. So whenever you are ready try to make a vaild point.
I can't say I hated it. I love having Embiid and Simmons.
New rumors are that Ball may be there at #3. Do we pick him, or trade the pick?
