For the first time in the last three years, sixers have the third pick. Sam is smiling. He orchestrated the whole thing. The sixers will be contenders . Three years. We are going to get into that. Lets talk about who the sixers should take at number three. Who do you think the sixers should go with . I think theyll look at their guard line and say, well trade to a sixer spot, grab the guy we want. I dont know if they want to help the sixers. If it goes to chalk, the third pick in the draft, theyll take jackson, the forward. Josh jackson has issues, out of kansas, free throw issue, good defensively, but shooting is a concern. Do you need a point guard, shooting guard, shooters . They dont have a small forward either. They have covington. Josh can turn into a guy like kawhi leonard, why wouldnt you take him . Its possible you could develop this guy. Sixer president says this is an easy decision, with the third over all pick. Its good to be at three. We think well add a great player or have leverage in other teams. So you are going to trade it out . We leave all of our options open and look at the scenarios that can play out with respect to the asset. So hes not ruling out a trade. If mark is the best prospect, number one over all pick projected player, should the sixers trade up . Absolutely. He fits best with the team. Ben simmons, one, you have to have someone to playoff simmons. Mark can playoff him well. Hes the perfect player for the sixers. You have a ton of first round draft pick, two next year, the following year, perhaps two more in 2020, would you over pay to get its a carson wentz type of deal. You have to have a running mate for him. This could be the guy. Whoever the sixers end up with, is this enough for the sixers to make a playoff run. They were in the conversation at one point last year. I say not yet. I dont think they are ready. They have to develop the nba players. I think they fall short of the playoffs if they dont get anyone else. I expect the sixers will explore one of two options if not both of them. The bulls with the final playoff team last year. You were in the conversation at one point before joel embiid got hurt. I dont know if they were in the conversation. I think the sixers are fur thinker than people think. You cant expect to add new players and expect that to click right away. Its going to take a while. Theyll get the draft if pick,l short of the playoffs. He would not say if they were playoff contenders. Too much pressure on himself. Why would he say that . Its not a playoff game. People disagree with that. While the sixers are trusting the process, its hard to process the phillies. You called it before the season saying they would be worse than last year. Because of their starting rotation. You cant have four or five starters. Thats what they have. None of them have number one or two stuff including Vince Velasquez. Only one team in baseball has a worst pitcher. Aaron nollan returning from a back injury. This is obviously encouraging. Sh he was commanding, strike zone 92. Topped out. You have to go in, sometimes you have to go inside. That was too far inside. That was not a command pitch. He loaded the bases to get to david freeze. Phillies could not get a run against the piermt, aaron altair strikes out with two on in the eighth. Phillies dropped 17 of the last 21 games. One of the biggest issues is Vince Velasquez. He points to himself. Sounds like a caller on your sports talk radio show saying, hes cliewls. Clueless. He has great stuff. He has 95 plus fast ball and a good slider, but he cant command the strike zone. Hes over a hundred pitches every five. A he may not be a starting pitcher. He may be a set up guy or closer. That may be the role Vince Velasquez has to have. They tried him as a starter. Hes not judicious enough to get through five innings. They are going to stand by velasquez. They are going to hang with him after a long talk this morning. Still to come on action news sports sunday, the eagles have picked up perhaps the missing piece to their offense. Could this mean a playoff run. Talking about that with melissa.

The best or nothing. Action news sports sunday sponsored by audi challenge hall gibbons. I have been a part of Something Special before. You get the feeling that they have Something Special here. I want to be part of that. Blunt won two superbowls with the patriots sees Something Special with the eagles. Does signing blunt mean they are in a position to make a playoff run . No. Obviously, the offense has improved. They can punch it into the endzone with a two yard line. Thats good. Complete offensively. Defensively, to me, they are not complete. If they go to the season with the quarterback they have now, its big trouble. You have to have people that can cover in the nfl. They dont have it. Offensively, carson wentz has every weapon you can imagine. Blunt had 18 touchdowns, eagles 16. Wentz has no excuse next season they have to score 35 points a game to win. I like it. Maybe they can do it. Not too many nfl teams can do it. Rumor out of new england, got rid of him because he was 270pounds. Who cares . You cant run at 270, brother. I cant run at 190. Speaking of big guys, lebron james and the cavs had a giant lead on the celtics conference finals again. They blow it. How does it happen with the celtics . Check out the highlights, what a finish. Tied up, no time left. How about the luck of the irish, mike . 1 second left. Kevin love and tyree took over. Its one game. It was a shock to me. 11108. For mike missanelli, im jeff skversky.
