How many wins for this Philly team next year

[KG Living Legend]

 Okafor for #3 Dunn

 Embiid
 Noel
 Simmons
 Stuaskas
 Kris Dunn

 Unbalanced team yes. If Embiid is healthy they have tons of star power, ball handling, play making, rebounding. Just need more shooting. That team could be awesome.

25-30 wins.

If your starting lineup is predominantly rookies, you're a lottery team.

There's absolutely no way a Noel, Embiid, and Simmons frontcourt works, let alone adding a non-shooter in Dunn to the mix. Can any of them hit a shot outside of the paint? All you'd have to do is pack the paint with them to guard them.

Not saying they'd go out and sign Kevin Durant, but they have something like 80 million in cap space to add some established NBA talent/role players to their young core.   So who knows.   Lots left to figure out with that Philly roster.   It's fun to see what they end up doing.  Maybe they overpay by offering Harrison Barnes the max or something.   We'll see.

I think one of that front court ends up coming off the bench. Maybe Embiid to start with under a minutes cap.

Definitely better than last year. As LarBrd says, lots of cap space to add a 2 guard or a proper 3 so there are a lot of possibilities

hopefully more than the Nets and less than the Celtics. Anything within that range will please me.

 It's not that easy to stop guys with that much talent Potter even if they can't shoot.

 I'll revise with Embiid off the bench and a FA.

 Noel
 Simmons
 Barnes
 Covington
 Dunn

 Now you have two And a half shooters lol.

I actually think they would start Thompson at SG.  Much better shooter than Stauskas and thus a better fit.

PG - Dunn, Marshall, McConnell
SG - Thompson, Stauskas
SF - Covington, Grant
PF - Simmons, Saric, Landry
C - Noel, Embiid

DLeague - 24, 27, Holmes

That is with no free agent signings, which I don't expect.  I would expect Marshall and McConnell to be the first two gone for free agent signings and Saric is far from a given coming over.  I do think that one of 24 or 27 (or maybe both) will be draft and stash players, which also opens up a spot.

They still have a logjam at PF/C, but it is better in that scenario.  But just think how bright the future would look if they signed someone like DeRozan. 

[max215]

Depends who they add. Right now, I'd guess 25-30.

[RAAAAAAAANDY]

I guessed 27 last year... And was beyond wrong.

I'll double down on that though, if for no other reason than I think they make a few throw away signings.
