Hinkie holds all the cards. Split the 96 minutes at PF/C evenly between the three. 32 minutes each... Then force the league to get into an all-out bidding war. They own like 3 of the 5 or 6 best big man prospects in the league (the others being Davis, towns and maybe Drummond... Maybe gobert... Though I think all three Philly bigs will be better than Drummond and gobert). Who wants a franchise big? Everyone. They should be able to trade one for an allstar at a different position.
Sooooo jealous of philly fans.
Yep.
This is the kind of positional redundancy that is not such a problem.
Load up on talent at the position of greatest scarcity.
Embiid probably will only play 20-24 minutes a night at most for his first year or two in the league, anyway. Okafor and Noel are not an ideal match, but they can play together.
Philly will get a sizable haul for two out of those three guys, and they'll continue to collect high level draft assets because they're going to stink again next year.
Who knows how Hinkie will eventually craft his collection of players and picks into a competitive team, but he's got the raw materials there. Hinkie has a block of marble to sculpt, Danny Ainge has a pile of bricks, cinder blocks, and rough stone.
There's a lot more that goes into building a great team than just having the right materials on hand. But you can't even start without them.
