I would take Beasley if he is available in either of the next 2 drafts over any player on the board (if we nix the Elton Brand idea). I think he is the best player in college to build an NBA team around right now. Then worry about a PG if we trade Miller - Lou can fill that spot for now. I don't think the Sixers have enough good shooters to follow the Suns model and Nash is a special type of PG to execute that model effectively. Not to mention that system hasn't won anything yet. The difference between the Sonics and Sixers right now is Durant, he is a clear superstar and has no ceiling where Iggy is not and his ceiling ends at a #2 guy at best. No matter how we look at it if they don't bring in a legit #1 superstar(draft or FA) preferably a big man they won't go far at all anytime soon.

Maybe even drafting a guy like Koufos woud make more sense, and then drafting a PG in the 2009 draft would be possible. There's enough athleticism on this team to copy the Suns model. I'd do what the Sonics have done: trade off all your older assets and build around high-ceiling guys. There are still a lot of questions on that Sonics team, as well, but time and circumstance have a way of sorting that stuff out.

Where is your shooter and who scores inside? I understand your thinking about not having Brand waste away on a bad team. And I am sure he and his agent are thinking the same thing, and wouldn't take a deal from the Sixers purely on money alone. Stefanski would have to present the plan he has for making the Sixers a contenter quickly. Also, the strategy for this franchise needs to change and start building from the INSIDE-out, not the other way around. With your top 5 the impact players are still perimeter guys. When was the last time a team won a championship with that philosophy - MJ - Bulls maybe? Every championship team since 1999 has had a impact player either at the PF or C position. Jacob, if you think you can build a championship team around those guys, even in the East, your sadly mistaken. On that team who is the #1 guy? Where is your shooter and who scores inside?

Blow this team up. Trade Miller and a bad contract to a team like Boston or Cleveland. This summer, draft a true point guard (like Rose or Lawson) and re-sign Iguodala. Build around this core: 1 - Rose/Lawson 2 - Williams 3 - Iguodala 4 - Young 5 - Smith Do you really want to waste Elton Brand’s prime (and the contract that goes with it) on these guys?
