Isn't Bridges only 6'7".
Yes, but with a 7'2 wingspan.

Apparently Mikal still doesn't know about the trade is answering questions with Philly media. Also, he was ecstatic to be playing for his hometown team. Hopefully he's not too bummed out.
And his mom working with the 76ers. She will be most bummed I bet.

That is great. Shawn Marion with a better shot? Can he rebound against other small ball 4s?

Not the rebounder Marion is, not as bouncy, but a much better shooter.

Just watch, Mikal is this year’s Donovan Mitchell. He doesn’t have the high ceiling Donovan does, but he is just as capable to have as much impact as him. The end of next year, we will all be raving about him.

We went from thinking we got MPJ to getting Donte D. Is this a JOKE.

F. F F F F F.

We have no PG, huge question marks at 4, and yet we draft another combo swing where Jackson and Booker will take the majority of minutes.

Unbelievable.
Sounds like the old Saucy
He's not wrong
You all are. Lol.
Lol. I mean, I'm still not wrong we still drafted another combo swing where we have 2 players that will dominate minutes.

Mikal's going to have to slide to the 4. Or Jackson will.

I will say, I think we can all agree the Suns came away from this draft with 2 great players.

Doesn’t this at least look like another trade in the works that will include one of our 3’s?
Seriously, if they are going to the lengths to shift a 3 year remote pick to move up and stack the 3 then surely we will be offloading one of them in a package to bring in a PG.
My bet is TJ is gone.
Gotta be.

Probably not, but I'd love it! We could move back up...LA reportedly wants out at 25

Agreed. I am not going to complain about what we have so far. I would love to have Doncic and MPJ, but it could be much worse. Just look at our draft two years ago...

Bridges is almost a 50/40/90 guy on the wing who is an elite defender. He is a homerun acquisition.
Love it! Never thought we'd have a shot at him.

Still processing this trade. We gave up the most valuable piece in our war-chest, but I LOVE Mikal.

Did everybody forget we just got D’Andre Ayton? How about we stop with the negativity?

Mom works for the team. Grew up a Sixers fan, must’ve been a dream come true for him be drafted by them...

I like Bridges. I hate that we keep giving away picks.
