This draft is supposed to be PG deep and they see decent options at #31. And as centers are so undervalued, decent ones could be found even at #40+. That's why they were discussing the possibility to buy another second rounder for cash.
Btw. Philly has a first round and 4 second round picks in this draft. #22, #34, #36, #49 and #59. They will certainly not use all of them unless they stash a bunch of players. So if the 3 picks strategy is appealing to us, I could see them as number one possible partner. Buy #49 or perhaps even trade #31 - deal for #34, #36 and #59 would be intriguing. New Orleans has 3 second round picks.
Another possibility is to trade Jackson to someone for a second round pick. Perhaps someone with the pick in the range from 35-45 sees enough value in him to take that 1 year trial.
This is a bit older piece. Vecenie is reporting that Lewis is getting a lot of buzz lately since teams have a lot of time to watch videos. He feels confident he will go between 10-20. Stocks of some others are falling. I somehow hope we go for SF and looks like either Vassel, Bey or Nesmith are ready to contribute immediately to an extent. All three are good shooters and the first two look capable playing some defense.
