My post was very relevant because there's a scenario where the best player available to Philly would be Giles and they'd basically have to trade him, right?... perhaps to a team like Boston.
What are you thinking regarding the trade?
Smart for Giles?
A lot of things have to happen for that scenario to present itself, but it's been a thought on my mind for a while when Giles was thought of as a top 5 pick... that there's one team picking at the top that would probably want nothing to do with drafting Giles.
I had been thinking about more from the perspective of... hey even if the Brooklyn pick ends up 5th or something, there's a very real possibility Giles will be available to us, because Philly might end up with two top 4 picks and want nothing to do with drafting another big. But this was all under the premise that Giles was a top 5 pick. The perception seems to be changing.
And now that Giles is dropping at the same time Philly is winning games, there could very well be a scenario where Philly ends up with a draft pick outside of the top 8 (which is loaded with guards and small forwards)... and if there aren't any guards and small forwards left and the best player available is clearly Giles - wouldn't they have to take him and make a trade? I guess they could trade up...
