And now it gets interesting...

Mike
Very... not only because Philly now has 3 franchise bigs... but because the Knicks are probably trading down or out.

It's like a rich man's version of Denver having Javale McGee, Kosta Koufos, and Timofey Mozgov all under contract at the same time.

How'd that work out for them?
Not the same situation as it was in Denver. They are going to play Noel at PF and Okafor/Embiid at C.

Does the "chat" not work anymore?  I keep getting java errors and since java completely blows, I'm not sure if it's me, or the chat not working anymore.

Okafor's agent didn't want Philly to pick him, so it'll be interesting to see how that develops.

Russell/Bryant worst defensive backcourt in NBA now?
Definitely.

That means they can get Love/Aldridge now

Excited about this Knicks pick. Could go in a couple of different directions.

@WojYahooNBA: For now, the Sixers plan to keep Okafor -- not trade him, league source tells Yahoo Sports.

But…but…but…the resident Sixers fan said it was a smokescreen and Embiid is fine. What's going on?

The Sixers plan to keep Okafor --- for good, sources tell Yahoo. He won't be auctioned in a trade.

Terrible place for Okafor, Noel and Embiid. Not committed to any of them. Survival of the strongest. The others will be dumped / traded.

Not what you want for your young player while developing.

No way. They'll trade him or Joel or Noel before the season. They have to. You can't properly groom three of those guys who play the same position. They'll look horrible and start losing value.

I don't think they rate any one of them high enough above the other to pick one -- to prioritize their development and trade others.

I think they'll let it play out and see who develops the best over next year or two. Then decide who they want.

knicks picked porzingis.

Interesting pick. Going for broke. Admirable pick.

Biggest risk, biggest upside of the top picks.
