"Hinkie Died For This, Long Live The Process" Philadelphia 76ers 2016-2017 Season Thread

[WMG the 2nd]

Word Dario was coming way too hot for that shyt.

On another note with all this Simmons sitting for ROY talk, I don't think Simmons would of won ROY anyway. My thinking if Simmons playing well enough to be conversation for ROY just by virtue of the way his game is means he's probably helping Joel play even better only increasing JoJo's ROY chances this year. Next year though he'll probably get it easy.

He not winning over fultz or Jackson next year depending on the teams hat get them

Ben is fully capable of beating out all those cats for ROY.

Seems to me that Okafor is not going anywhere... BC couldn't pull the trigger...

It's kinda sad to think we picked Jah just to literally ruin his early NBA career. Don't get me wrong he didn't help much with his play but the fact we holding onto him just to have him and not do anything with him is kinda like a hostage situation.

Hinkie would've already granted him a trade by now. Words can't express my disdain for Daddy's Boy...

What's up with Okafor? The only games i've seen him play was against the pistons and he wasn't terrible... really wasn't bad imo. are the 76ers trying to get rid of him because of the log jam at the position or is he really that bad. I believe he's limited defensively?.. but can score... is that accurate?

Logjam at the position.
If he was getting more clock, I believe is trade value would be higher.

He can still score but if you're gonna play him you're gonna have to play him in a 4 out 1 in offense where he's the only guy in the paint. You have to center the offense around him basically and have 4 shooters on the court who can stretch the floor and defend. Ideally he'd fit nice next to guys like Ibaka or Draymond. Guys who can defend, stretch the floor and play the 4.


The problem is that you're gonna have to deal with his inability to play help defense correctly due to his mental lapses and laziness.

I was trying to figure out what it would take to get him in Detroit. I think he'd be a great fit for van gundy on offense but would struggle on defense to be the anchor. Basically what you said.

I's love to see him in a Detroit uni but I don't see anything realistic either team would do without robbing the other or making the other worse.

he has no reason not to be the best scoring center (minus the scoring). His back to the basket talent is top notch. He is pretty fluid. I think he would be great on the pick and roll but its the Sixers. Hope he gets a better shot with Simmons but Jah's downsides are the lack of defense, shooting and a frail confidence.

I personally find Okafor's biggest issue is his stamina. Dude looks gassed after like 2 minutes out there and a lack of stamina affects all aspects of the game. If you gassed you not gonna be able to help on defense and think correctly on the court..he's also a lot more passive on offensive this year probably cause of a lack of energy to execute his moves on a consistent basis. He needs to work on his stamina first and foremost. It's even stranger because dude isn't fat like at all especially compared to his Duke days, dude looks slim. I dunno if its the knee injury that messed up his ability to work on his stamina over the off-season but its a fkin problem.

I feel like the dude is depressed or someshyt. He does look completely anergic. More so than last year.

Any chance the sixers could hold on to Jah to combine him with a draft pick to move up into the top 2 of the draft to get one of the PGs?
