First, I don't consider Russell as surefire as you do, at least not in terms of being a "stud." Second and much less importantly since it's unlikely to be a possibility, I would make a move for a young star in his prime *right today*. The Sixers have a foundation in terms of youth what they they don't have are any veterans. If they had the opportunity to get for example Cousins or Love, OK, then you accelerate the process. You start selling futures instead of using them, spending cap space instead of hoarding it. That's assuming this is the right guy, and again I doubt that's even a possibility for Philly right now.
