TABLE TALK: The 2025 Sixers Draft and NBA Conference Finals · The Philadelphia Sports Table | Philly Sports News & Views

• 0:29
  Speaker 1: All right, welcome to Table Talk here at the Philadelphia
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: Sports Table podcast show, the longest running weekly Philly sports podcast.
• 0:37
  Speaker 2: Show in the world, twelve years strong.
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: We got our good friend coming to you from Fox
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: Sports Phillies, The Gambler over at Pickswap Media as well.
• 0:48
  Speaker 2: Subscribe to the podcast there. You're also doing some stuff
• 0:51
  Speaker 2: over at DraftKings as well. He is our good friend.
• 0:53
  Speaker 2: Showan Bernard buddy, How you doing, my man?
• 0:56
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I interview back on. I appreciate you having me,
• 0:58
  Speaker 3: Jeff A little disappointed in the winding down of the
• 1:00
  Speaker 3: NBA season, but we got a little bit more juice
• 1:03
  Speaker 3: around here with us, some draft talk to get into
• 1:05
  Speaker 3: as well. So I'm hanging in there. I'm making the
• 1:06
  Speaker 3: most of it, and it has been some really good
• 1:08
  Speaker 3: hoops across this playoff.
• 1:09
  Speaker 2: Absolutely.
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: Look, we got to get into the Philadelphia seventy six
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: ers this offseason. Now we know that they have the
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: number three overall pick in the draft Sean, and obviously
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: we can't wait to see what they do with that
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: number three overall pick. You know, my co host and
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: I this past week we were talking about on our
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: main podcast show about what should happen with the number
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: three overall pick, and my co host Len actually said
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: he wouldn't be surprised if Daryl Morey possibly trades the
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: pick to acquire some new talent or future assets. I
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: thought it was interesting today there were some reports that
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: came out that said, you know what they're they're really
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: looking at developing a young core and that that number
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: three pick may stay and actually not be traded.
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: So I kind of want to go through this with
• 1:51
  Speaker 2: you here.
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: Let's start first about what you are hoping the Sixers
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: front office will do with this pick, keep it or
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: trade it? You know, what are your thoughts here, Sean.
• 2:02
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm very bullish on the idea that the Sixers
• 2:05
  Speaker 3: team needs to walk away with one high level rookie,
• 2:07
  Speaker 3: one high level player that they give you as a
• 2:09
  Speaker 3: potential piece of the future. Here. I do think that
• 2:11
  Speaker 3: there is a certainly truth to Darryl Moorey will pick
• 2:14
  Speaker 3: up his phone and answer whatever call to offers that
• 2:16
  Speaker 3: comes way. And it is smoke screen season that I'm
• 2:18
  Speaker 3: sure we'll hear a million rumors before the draft even
• 2:21
  Speaker 3: gets here. Yea, there is I think some potential to
• 2:23
  Speaker 3: like the Utah Jazz has been a team pointed out
• 2:25
  Speaker 3: who hold that fifth pick, if they want to move
• 2:27
  Speaker 3: from three to five, pick up a little extra in
• 2:29
  Speaker 3: the process and something like that. I could be potentially
• 2:31
  Speaker 3: open to that idea, but I do feel very strongly
• 2:34
  Speaker 3: that this team does need to add a high impact
• 2:36
  Speaker 3: rookie that could be a part of the long term core.
• 2:38
  Speaker 3: I'm personally on the team Ace Bailey camp and will
• 2:40
  Speaker 3: be perfectly comfortable sitting there at three and making that
• 2:43
  Speaker 3: selection there.
• 2:44
  Speaker 2: But there's a lot to like. VJ.
• 2:45
  Speaker 3: Edgecomb has certainly built up some momentum in recent days
• 2:48
  Speaker 3: in recent weeks there, so the draft kind of starts
• 2:50
  Speaker 3: at the sixers with that third pick. With Cooper Flag
• 2:53
  Speaker 3: and Dylan Harper sort of penciled in for those first
• 2:55
  Speaker 3: and second here, it's gonna be very interesting to see
• 2:57
  Speaker 3: what they do.
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: Ace Bao, I think that he is He could be
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: that key component to this team in the future. I
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: talked about that young core that we are looking to
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: potentially have in the future. I think Ace could be
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: that guy. And again, we just don't know where some
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: of the veterans on this team are going to be.
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: We don't know where Joe ellen Beid's health is going
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: to be. We don't know where Paul George's health necessarily.
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: Is going to be.
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: I know we talked about those two gentlemen the last
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: time you were on the show, but there's just so
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: much uncertainty. You bring an ace and the type of
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: talent that he has, and you develop around him Tyrese Maxi,
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: Jared McCain, and you've got yourself a really cool and
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: really spectacular young core moving forward, at least in my opinion.
• 3:38
  Speaker 3: Yeah, one hundred percent there. And they're in a pretty
• 3:40
  Speaker 3: unique spot as an organization as they do sort of
• 3:42
  Speaker 3: have a chance to do this two timelines concept that
• 3:44
  Speaker 3: the foundation has been laid for sort of this next
• 3:47
  Speaker 3: era of Sixers basketball with the guys you mentioned with
• 3:49
  Speaker 3: Tyreese Maxie, with Jared McCain, Quintin Grimes each being twenty
• 3:52
  Speaker 3: four years old or younger as a part of that picture,
• 3:55
  Speaker 3: and this third pick obviously fits that same build. Now,
• 3:57
  Speaker 3: with all that being said, you still do have the
• 3:59
  Speaker 3: veterans time to their roster, and that's gonna be the
• 4:01
  Speaker 3: biggest question mark with things. I do feel strongly about
• 4:04
  Speaker 3: bringing in a young talent to continue to sort of
• 4:06
  Speaker 3: grow this pathway to long term success there, but If
• 4:10
  Speaker 3: this team is fully healthy, they're gonna be right in
• 4:11
  Speaker 3: this contending mix. And that's sort of what you're banking
• 4:13
  Speaker 3: on here. So that's the biggest question mark. But they
• 4:16
  Speaker 3: can kind of do both things. I feel by making
• 4:18
  Speaker 3: this draft pick.
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: Absolutely. Look when we look at what this draft could
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: mean for the Sixers as well, let's not forget that
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: they have the thirty fifth pick in this draft as well,
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: in the second round. Sean and the Sixers, you know,
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: they've been known to draft some you know, I would
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: say productive talent in the second round. You know, in
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: recent years, Jeremy Grant, Shake Milton, they provided some depth
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: for this team in the past. I'm wondering, is their
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: talent that you're looking at in the second round that
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: could potentially help this team at some point down the road.
• 4:49
  Speaker 3: Yeah, there, one hundred percent is there. And I think
• 4:52
  Speaker 3: the Sixers have had a fairly high success from both
• 4:54
  Speaker 3: the undrafted market and second round picks throughout the years.
• 4:57
  Speaker 3: For all the criticisms of Darryl Mory, he's done a
• 4:59
  Speaker 3: really nice job with the late round selections and undrafted
• 5:02
  Speaker 3: guys that he has hit on. What I think is
• 5:04
  Speaker 3: like the beautiful part of that specific selection. There you
• 5:07
  Speaker 3: sort of can see who are the followers, who are
• 5:09
  Speaker 3: the guys falling out of the first round, and pounce
• 5:11
  Speaker 3: from there. Ryan Kulkbrenner is a guy that I've seen
• 5:14
  Speaker 3: mock to the Sixers a lot, who obviously stuck around
• 5:16
  Speaker 3: at Creyton for a while. I wouldn't mind taking another
• 5:19
  Speaker 3: stab at addressing the backup center position with a position
• 5:21
  Speaker 3: like that. I certainly am not in on it from
• 5:23
  Speaker 3: the third pick perspective, right that could be talking into
• 5:26
  Speaker 3: it from thirty seven, But I think my mindset from
• 5:28
  Speaker 3: the Sixers would be let the pieces fall in front
• 5:30
  Speaker 3: of you, see who the guys that fell that you
• 5:32
  Speaker 3: didn't expect, and capitalize from there. That so often we
• 5:34
  Speaker 3: see gms sort of outsmart themselves across all sports by
• 5:38
  Speaker 3: making these unique picks here. And I think Darryl Mory
• 5:40
  Speaker 3: has done a really nice job just sitting in there,
• 5:42
  Speaker 3: keeping track of what his board looks like and taking
• 5:44
  Speaker 3: the best available from there.
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: Absolutely, And you know, depending on how the draft and
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: other offseason acquisitions look and how it goes for the
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: Sixers Sean, you know, the I look at this team
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: as and maybe it's just just hopeful optimism here that
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: they could be a competitive team in the twenty twenty
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: five twenty twenty six season. Then I go back to
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: the old phrase, you know, fool me once, shame on you.
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: Forol me twice, shame on me. And I feel like
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: we've been fooled more than a few times by the
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: seventy six ers. But then again, injuries continue to crop
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: up for key people on this team, key personnel I
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: should say, on this team and players that we need
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: to be at a certain echelon in order for them
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: to get to where we want them to go in
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: the playoffs. So, in your opinion, how competitive could this
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: team be with the right acquisitions next season? What are
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: your thoughts here, because I know you've talked about it
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: a little bit here and there on the Gambler and
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: certainly you know I know.
• 6:42
  Speaker 2: Pickswat media as well.
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: What are your thoughts in terms of how competitive this
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: team could be this year based on various acquisitions.
• 6:49
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I do think this team is going to be
• 6:51
  Speaker 3: right back in the competitive mix next year and should
• 6:53
  Speaker 3: be viewed as a contender in the Eastern Conference. And
• 6:55
  Speaker 3: to start internally, just viewing the Sixers team, it obviously
• 6:58
  Speaker 3: all hinges on the health of well embid, and that
• 7:00
  Speaker 3: is the million dollar.
• 7:01
  Speaker 2: Question that we will never every year.
• 7:03
  Speaker 3: Every year, it sure is, and there certainly has been
• 7:06
  Speaker 3: much to inspire confidence based on the past results that
• 7:09
  Speaker 3: we do have. He obviously had another surgery this offseason,
• 7:12
  Speaker 3: and I mean it was crystal clear that he was
• 7:14
  Speaker 3: not right from start to finish last year. So you
• 7:16
  Speaker 3: do have to hope that returns to some extent as
• 7:18
  Speaker 3: this is all built around him. Paul George, I am
• 7:20
  Speaker 3: confident that we get a resurgence season and he probably
• 7:23
  Speaker 3: will never be the max contract guy that we paid
• 7:25
  Speaker 3: him to be. But he shot twenty percent on open
• 7:28
  Speaker 3: three pointers last year. That's just not Paul George. He
• 7:30
  Speaker 3: also revealed today that he was playing through a torn
• 7:32
  Speaker 3: abduct there so I kind of had a lot of
• 7:34
  Speaker 3: things going on, and keep in mind, like the moving
• 7:36
  Speaker 3: cross country, the fires near his house in La. It
• 7:39
  Speaker 3: was in everything that could go wrong did go wrong
• 7:41
  Speaker 3: for both Paul George individually and the Sixers team. Now,
• 7:44
  Speaker 3: looking beyond the Sixers, I do think the Eastern Conference
• 7:47
  Speaker 3: is as wide open as it will be next year.
• 7:49
  Speaker 3: The Boston Celtics, Jason Tatum obviously suffering that achilles injury
• 7:53
  Speaker 3: which is going to put him out for at the
• 7:54
  Speaker 3: minimum most of the regular season. And even before that,
• 7:57
  Speaker 3: there were some real deal conversations with the scenes about
• 8:00
  Speaker 3: all the moves that need to be made from a
• 8:02
  Speaker 3: cat perspective and a tax perspective for what that organization
• 8:05
  Speaker 3: is facing a team like the Milwaukee Bucks. I would
• 8:08
  Speaker 3: think it is incredibly unlikely that Janna Sneakumbo ever plays
• 8:11
  Speaker 3: another game in a Bucks uniform. And that's another legitimate
• 8:13
  Speaker 3: contender in the East that is sort of knocked off there.
• 8:16
  Speaker 3: There are the Knicks that are going to be around,
• 8:17
  Speaker 3: the Pacers are going to be around, but there is
• 8:19
  Speaker 3: not this like super team that you should be afraid
• 8:21
  Speaker 3: of in the Eastern Conference. So the Sixers have to
• 8:23
  Speaker 3: look at this as we have a chance to go
• 8:25
  Speaker 3: for it and take every every step that could be
• 8:27
  Speaker 3: taken to get to that point.
• 8:29
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: It it makes me think too that if the Sixers
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: front office tries to somehow package the number three pick
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: to get a veteran star in here. Of course, you know,
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: Kevin Durant, you know they're the rumors about that. I'm
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: not a big fan of that. At this point. You know,
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: we've kind of seen this time and time again with
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: the Sixers team the front office. Let's bring in Vets,
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: Let's see, you know whether it's James Harden, you know
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: whether it back in the day, Jimmy Butler. I mean,
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: don't get me wrong, I'd love to have Jimmy back
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: on this team. I absolutely would, but I I just
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: don't think having a KD around here is actually going
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: to be very good or beneficial for this team in
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: the direction of the team either.
• 9:07
  Speaker 3: Sean, Yeah, I would be against that game plan as well.
• 9:10
  Speaker 3: And for me, how I look at it is, I
• 9:12
  Speaker 3: just feel like it's a further all in push or
• 9:15
  Speaker 3: bet on a gamble that they probably shouldn't still feel
• 9:17
  Speaker 3: all that certain in taking. You've made your bed and
• 9:20
  Speaker 3: have to sleep in it with the Joel embiad situation
• 9:22
  Speaker 3: and the injury question marks that I'll continue to have
• 9:24
  Speaker 3: here by trading more to kind of bring in. And
• 9:27
  Speaker 3: don't get me wrong, I'm not here to argue that
• 9:28
  Speaker 3: Paul George is better than Kevin Durant. He is not
• 9:30
  Speaker 3: even at this stage of this career. But I just
• 9:32
  Speaker 3: don't think it makes sense to kind of double down
• 9:34
  Speaker 3: on that with the hopes that this can sort of
• 9:36
  Speaker 3: come together. So I get the concept here, but I
• 9:38
  Speaker 3: do feel very strongly the best direction for the organization
• 9:41
  Speaker 3: is make a pick at the third selection, or at
• 9:44
  Speaker 3: least in those handful of top picks, to have a
• 9:46
  Speaker 3: guy that could be a long term piece rather than
• 9:48
  Speaker 3: just a veteran at the end of his career.
• 9:50
  Speaker 2: Yeah, totally agree with you, buddy, Totally agree with you.
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: Again, folks, we were talking to schan Bernard from Fox
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: Sports Phillies the Gambler pickswap Media. Also you can check
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: out he's doing some great things over DraftKings as well.
• 10:03
  Speaker 2: Sean. Want to get into the NBA playoffs with you?
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: Now, enough sixers talk, Let's get into the NBA playoffs
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: right now. This Knicks Pacers matchup is going to be stellar.
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: In my opinion, I think it's gonna go seven games.
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: How do you think this series is gonna go? What
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: are you gonna be looking for?
• 10:19
  Speaker 2: In my man?
• 10:20
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm in agreement with you that I do think
• 10:21
  Speaker 3: this is a seven game series. And it's kind of cool.
• 10:24
  Speaker 3: We've seen obviously like sort of four new faces in
• 10:26
  Speaker 3: the conference finals now and that there is gonna be
• 10:29
  Speaker 3: another new champion. And I think this parody overall is
• 10:31
  Speaker 3: good for the NBA the amount of turnover that is there,
• 10:34
  Speaker 3: But when looking at this specific matchup, it is gonna
• 10:36
  Speaker 3: be an interesting clash of styles. The Indiana Pacers are
• 10:38
  Speaker 3: a team They're gonna roll very deep in their rotation.
• 10:41
  Speaker 3: They're gonna throw bodies that you rotate through. Guys can
• 10:43
  Speaker 3: be any given night where guy is stepping up and
• 10:45
  Speaker 3: having his twenty point outing, whether it is Andrew Nemhard
• 10:48
  Speaker 3: or Benedict Mattherin or Aaron Nasmith. That you can kind
• 10:50
  Speaker 3: of go down the list of the guys that are
• 10:52
  Speaker 3: capable of stepping up, and then when you contrast that
• 10:54
  Speaker 3: to the New York Knicks, you know exactly what you're
• 10:56
  Speaker 3: getting as far as who's gonna be on the floor.
• 10:58
  Speaker 3: These guys are gonna clock close to four forty eight
• 11:00
  Speaker 3: minutes on an every night basis. With that said there,
• 11:03
  Speaker 3: I do think that this series is gonna end up
• 11:04
  Speaker 3: a bit of a war of attrition, that there's going
• 11:06
  Speaker 3: to be a bit too much depth to this Pacers team.
• 11:09
  Speaker 3: Depth to me is something I've overlooked from a playoff perspective,
• 11:12
  Speaker 3: as you do kind of think of it as the
• 11:13
  Speaker 3: rotation Titans there isn't as many minutes to give around,
• 11:16
  Speaker 3: but I think this year we're seeing the value of that,
• 11:18
  Speaker 3: especially with the injuries that have popped up. So if
• 11:20
  Speaker 3: there is one injury to this next team, I don't
• 11:23
  Speaker 3: feel great about their chances whatsoever. And I do think
• 11:25
  Speaker 3: that there is a world where this playoff run starts
• 11:27
  Speaker 3: to drain them a little bit. They went through a
• 11:29
  Speaker 3: very physical battle with Detroit in the opening round, had
• 11:33
  Speaker 3: to deliver their best punch to take down the defending
• 11:35
  Speaker 3: champion Celtics team. I do think Pacers have life, they
• 11:38
  Speaker 3: have the same momentum, so I will go Pacers and seven.
• 11:40
  Speaker 3: But I do think it's gonna be straight up awesome series.
• 11:42
  Speaker 2: See I'm thinking it's going to be the Knicks. I
• 11:44
  Speaker 2: just do.
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: And I don't know whether it's a gut feeling. At
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: the beginning of the season, I actually predicted it was
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: going to be Sixers and Nicks in the Eastern Conference finals,
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: and I could see Jalen Brunson just putting the weight
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: of the world on his shoulders and at the end
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: of the day getting it done. He is that good
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: of a basketball player, as you know. So I don't know, Well,
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: we have to wait and see how this all turns out.
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: But I want to turn our attention now to the
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: Western Conference Finals because we of course are going to
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: see another another interesting instellar series between the Tea Wolves
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: and the Thunder. My gosh, it's gonna be This is
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: gonna be an incredible series as well. Again, I think
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: this series goes seven games here. How do you think
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: this series is gonna go?
• 12:29
  Speaker 3: Sean, Yeah, I've been a bit surprised as sort of
• 12:32
  Speaker 3: the perception of the series seems to be the Thunder
• 12:34
  Speaker 3: of the heavy favorites when you look at the odds
• 12:35
  Speaker 3: and all those kinds of conversations, I think the series
• 12:38
  Speaker 3: is up for grabs. I do think Minnesota has a
• 12:40
  Speaker 3: very legitimate chance. I think Anthony Edwards Brushe gotus Alexander
• 12:43
  Speaker 3: is going to be about as electric of a matchup
• 12:45
  Speaker 3: as you can hope for. And what I think is
• 12:46
  Speaker 3: especially cool about this is I do think it will
• 12:49
  Speaker 3: shake out where it's matching up with these two stars
• 12:51
  Speaker 3: directly guarding each other. It's pretty rare that we see
• 12:53
  Speaker 3: that in the NBA, as teams tend to have like
• 12:55
  Speaker 3: their defensive specialists thrown on that guy that both these
• 12:58
  Speaker 3: star players are guys that do do the dirty work
• 13:01
  Speaker 3: by indefensively and set the tone for their team here.
• 13:04
  Speaker 3: I think ultimately that Oklahoma City probably has a bit
• 13:06
  Speaker 3: too much depth in their defenses at a level that
• 13:08
  Speaker 3: I think Minnesota is going to struggle with. But expect
• 13:11
  Speaker 3: some old school eighty style scores in this. I think
• 13:13
  Speaker 3: there'll be some eighty nine to eighty seven th wins
• 13:15
  Speaker 3: or things like that. It's gonna be fun. So yeah,
• 13:18
  Speaker 3: I think it will be a defensive minded approach. I
• 13:20
  Speaker 3: do lean Thunder, but I do think the Timberwolves absolutely
• 13:23
  Speaker 3: have a chance to pull it.
• 13:23
  Speaker 1: Off, absolutely all right. And before I let you go, buddy,
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: I gotta get the prediction from you in terms of
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: who you think is going to win the NBA Finals,
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: what that matchup may look like, and who's gonna end
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: up holding that trophy at the end of this NBA season.
• 13:39
  Speaker 2: Who do you think that's gonna be.
• 13:41
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I think it comes out of the West, and
• 13:43
  Speaker 3: I do think the Thunder have paid their dues and
• 13:44
  Speaker 3: it is their time to ultimately get that victory here.
• 13:47
  Speaker 3: So I do lean towards either one of these Western
• 13:49
  Speaker 3: Conference teams coming out of it having the inside path
• 13:52
  Speaker 3: or expected to win that the overall NBA championship there,
• 13:55
  Speaker 3: do you think the Thunder will end up being that team?
• 13:57
  Speaker 3: Not to discount the East, the Pacers and the Nation
• 14:00
  Speaker 3: spining extent there, They've had incredibly successful seasons and certainly
• 14:03
  Speaker 3: will at least win a handful of games. I think
• 14:04
  Speaker 3: it'll be a battle come that time. But I do
• 14:06
  Speaker 3: think the Thunder is overall the answer, the rightful favorites,
• 14:09
  Speaker 3: and I think they get the job done this Absolutely.
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: I'm so glad the Thunder did not get the Sixers pick.
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: I mean, I mean, seriously, we didn't mention it at
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: the top with the number three pick talk that we had,
• 14:19
  Speaker 1: but how fantastic is how did that they didn't get
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: that pick? Because if they had gotten that pick, my god,
• 14:24
  Speaker 1: they'd be set for like the next twenty five years.
• 14:27
  Speaker 3: Yeah, and they basically already are when you look at
• 14:29
  Speaker 3: how much they still have there. It's incredible the amount
• 14:32
  Speaker 3: of draft capital they hold. But yeah, thank goodness of
• 14:34
  Speaker 3: the basketball gods gave the Sixers a little bit of
• 14:36
  Speaker 3: a kick back with that three pick. There a little
• 14:38
  Speaker 3: bit of a hope to this franchise here in Phildelph.
