Embiid is a huge risk but Exum is too condiering that there is very little actual game coverage of him against real competition and the other guys listed are likely just guys. They get Saric who potentially is a star next year or the year after, they also get back another #1 pick in 2017. So basically they got the draft and stash guy they were looking for AND recover draft picks. They obviously want to be big players in next years lottery and are seemingly looking at 2016 to start the push. Yeah it is gonna be another bad year but if they can get all these guys on the court relatively healthy in the near future there might be a real contender in there.

I guess, but that rookie of year was on the trade block this week. With 4 top 10 picks in back to back drafts how are you not ready to win now? In decent drafts... One of those picks cant play for 2 years. One of them sat out a year already and the other is going to sit out a year now. I cant see how anyone can defend this. Things would have to work out perfectly from here on out, do you believe they will? Now you want fans to wait another year? Is this serious?
