#1 draft picks probably.

Yes I heard (2)

Still just a rumor

By the way, this trade has not happened yet and apparently negotiations are still going on. The Subject heading that Dal put is a guess. It may happen but is not necessarily true. From what I read, they are still negotiating with Rondo obviously being the main person in the trade.

In order for the trade to happen, there can't just be picks. There needs to be roughly equivalent salary (not sure what equivalent exactly means though) exchanged I believe.

Correct you can't trade 2 highly paid guys for draft picks.

Trade did not happen. Rondo still with Boston.

A coach on twitter mentioned this recently I was suspicious of this plenty of times Rondo was subject of trade talks everytime Ainge said he will not be traded!!!!

For a second there he was back playing baseball!


Doesn't Boston have a ton of draft picks coming anyway?

The Sixers are tanking their way to cornering the NBA market in say 3 years, it's ingenious!

Getting blasted by the Bucks is something. Milwaukee is going to be hard to catch, but I have confidence the Sixers can keep up this level of tanking. At least they have a plan.

As a Bobcats/Hornets fan, tanking to get a high pick is not always a sound strategy. Thanks to one of the most ridiculous things in sports, the NBA Draft Lottery.

They are getting close to Milwaukee...

Since the turn of the calendar they are 6-22

Since the 5th of January they are 3-22

In their last 15 games they are 1-15

If/when they lose tonight they will finish February with 0 wins.

Bucks are at 11 wins.

Eh, it's okay. We don't need the top pick, top three is fine, and besides, we have like 40 picks in the draft coming up so even if we miss on one or two we're bound to get lucky on the others.

Yes, this will be a barn-burner of a race for the rest of the season. I think the Sixers can avoid winning another game the rest fo the year - can the Bucks win 4 more? How many more times do they square off against each other?

Unfortunately the Bucks & Sixers are done playing each other for the year. Sixers have lost 12 in a row, went 0 - for - February. BTW, the NBA record is 26 losses in a row - Cleveland.

For your sake, I hope so. Hopefully, you don't get stuck with an Adam Morrison-esque pick.
