The Harsh Truth About the #3 Pick…
The lottery has concluded and let me just say first off, the Luca trade makes a lot more sense. You know what I’m saying? Adam Silver comes to Nico Harrison, taps him on the booty cheeks, gives him a little peck on the cheek, and is like, “Yo, can you trade Luca to Los Angeles? The ratings are down. Please, please.” And we’ll guarantee you Cooper Flag. Obviously, that is what happened. No debate. I don’t want to hear it. 1.8% an 8% chance to get the number one overall pick. And they get the pick. But what I’m mostly pissed off about is that ESPN announcer who was like way in the beginning of the lottery, he was like, “Oh yeah, the Sixers, they just lost their pick.” And and and my my heart sunk. I was sad. I was like, “What are we going to do? What is the point of life? What is the point of being a Sixers fan?” That’s what I was thinking at this point. And then I see the next pick. It’s not the It’s not the Oklahoma City Thunder at seven. He lied to us. He owes us money or something. That was fluffed up, but the Sixers get the third overall pick. The San Antonio Spurs are in front of us, so most likely the outcome will be they take Dylan Harper. A part of me wants to believe that they don’t think Darren Fox and Harper are a good fit. And also, next to Stfan Castle, there’s not enough shooting. And quite honestly, there might not be enough shooting. Isn’t Ace Bailey all about shotmaking? You know what I’m saying? So maybe they take Ace Bailey instead of Dylan Harper because he fits better. But overall, I doubt it. I think they’re going to go with Harper. I think a realistic scenario for the Sixers is trading this third pick. I I think they might trade back to be quite honest with you. It really depends how they feel about Ace Bailey. I don’t know. I I have mixed feelings on him. A part of me thinks he might just be Jabari Smith Jr., which is a fine player, but top three pick, you would like more potential. You would like star upside, but also if he does turn into like a better version of Michael Porter Jr., that’d be pretty crazy because Michael Porter Jr. is a very solid role player, but back injuries and overall health, he just wasn’t able to live up to his potential. But it really depends on what the Sixers think. If they don’t look at Ace Bailey and see star potential, I would not be surprised if they trade back, try to get some assets for that third pick and then you move back a little and then maybe you draft Con Canipple or something like that. I think the fun thing about landing the third overall pick is there there’s a lot of options. I think trading is a realistic opportunity because we know we have Daryl my as a GM and he likes to star hunt. It seems like Giannis is going to become available. I don’t think the Sixers have the realistic ammo to go after Giannis, but I’m not going to lie, Zion Williamson becomes available. I mean, do you want to take a chance on that fat lug? Uh, I’m willing to take a chance on Zion. I know it’s an unpopular opinion, but when that dude plays basketball, he’s arguably just as impactful of what Cooper Flag is supposed to be. And why not? You know, we already have an injury-prone roster, so why not just add another injury-prone player who loves cheese stakes. I’m all aboard the Zion hype train. You better believe it. Overall, I got to do my research on Ace Bailey because if you guys follow this channel, if you’ve been following it, you know I can talk myself into any Sixer acquisition. I even talked myself into Al Horford. So, stay tuned. I will be making an indepth video on Ace Bailey and his fit with the Philadelphia 76ers. But overall, definitely a successful night for the Sixers. I mean, top three pick after a year of suffering, a year that was supposed to be a championship level roster. So, to get a top three pick and to talk ourselves into a future star is going to be fun. It’s It’s something the fan base needed. It’s something I needed. I personally want the NBA to just admit it’s rigged and I think Adam Silver himself should pick the team who gets the number one overall pick. Like that would be some drama. Like dude, equip the big boy balls and Adam Silver is on the podium and he’s doing everything and he has to give at least three to five sentences on why he chose this position for this team. Could you imagine that? That would be mustwatch TV. The ratings would skyrocket. Also, I have seen some people saying Nico Harrison’s going to trade the pick for Giannis. That’d be pretty interesting. And that would save the Milwaukee Bucks for sure. And I’m sure I’m sure the Milwaukee Bucks are already on the phone with Nico Harrison. But in all seriousness, I’m going to leave it to you guys in the comment section below because I’m not going to act like I’m a draft expert. So yeah, talk me into Ace Bailey because I really don’t believe in him. I I just see bust. Do you agree? Do you disagree? Let me know your thoughts below. Would you trade the pick? All that good stuff.

ace bailey, dylan harper, or vj edgecombe… trade the pick, what would you do?
Zion plus the Sixers medical staff…. what could go wrong?😂
If the Sixers pass up on Bailey, there should be a riot.
I hope I’m wrong but I think Ace Bailey won’t be a star in the NBA.
Are you serious? Do you see every team in the playoffs right now all lead by young guys stop kicking the can and get use the 3rd pick to get a future star
I definitely would have been saying trade the pick at 4-6 but ace is definitely worth the pick a 6’10 Uber athlete with shot making potential with an aging PG on the roster definitely has a high upside
The sixers will trade the pick for Kevin Durant and say we got a big 4 lol.
Screw trading for washed “stars” that aren’t worth the cap hit. Every good team builds through the draft
I rather take ace Bailey then Zion we don’t need any more injuries
G we not trading bac for shit, we have 3 max contracts, unless they’re finding a way to trade for a super star like Giannis or trading for the number 1 picc(which the Mavs will be foolish to fucc around).. ain’t shit bein traded. Also your opinion on ace is wild. How tf do u watch ace and say oh shit Jabari smith, foh. Jabari has never been a shot creator like ace. The only thing they have in common is defense. Offensively they’re quite different
Your crazy, no chance they trade back
Trade the 3 and George for jazz 5 and Lauri, we take the African center from duke at 5 and jazz takes whoever they want at 3.
Ace and Jabari are totally different players man lmao. Everyone saying to trade the pick making my head hurt. Trade for who? For what? To watch whoever we get play 15 games with Joel? It’s over. Take the youngin and start looking towards life after Embiid.
Ace Bailey has superstardom written all over him at 18 he’s 6 foot 8 with athletic skill set at the wing position something philly never had he averaged 17.8 ppg at Rutgers and if yu go look at his tape he play in 3 games in which Harper didn’t play and he flat out ball he had a 38 point game and another 33 point game in haper absence he has the potential to take over a game this kid has superstar upside if use correctly
Harper first Bailey second
It’s seems you know nothing about basketball
I'd trade Emiid and PG before trading away the chance to draft Bailey. Embiid has two good years left, if healthy. PG is done, his legs are fragile. Go the OKC route and get a bunch of young talent. McCain is going to be a star, just watch.
Ace Bailey is 18… playing next to Harper and still put up those numbers..
If we keep Grimes, I say trade the pick. IF WE'RE HEALTHY with a core of Joel, Tyrese, George(😒), Drum, Yabu, & McCain… we could build more with a trade of that pick
Boy oh boy
Trade back? Are u stupid?
You just insinuated that ace bailey doesn’t have star upside? Lmfao wtf, he has the most upside of any player in this draft … I really need to get away from the YouTube sixers community
Jeremiah Fears is the pick.
Hard pass on Zion
Please explain how the Sixers will fit Zion's 39M under the salary cap? I'm doubt the Pelicans have any interest in Paul George or Joel
love the content ! and the channel showing lots of love I also stream and love the sixers !
Top4 protected next year….
Trading back honestly sounds like an absolutely terrible idea. You're just getting a lesser player and assets that won't matter come playoff time (at best). Even worse would be trading for Zion. A terrible fit for the roster and just not worth moving the third pick. You take harper if he falls, or you take your choice of Ace/VJ
Be careful of Danny Ainge at no.5, he’s pilfered the Sixers before in trades and poised to pounce on them again..Whomever they take will be the wrong player
Daryl keeping that pick Rome….less he lied to the nurse 😳
