Welp, some of the recent remarks are conflicting
Okafor has had a good season so far minus the off court issues. He's better right now then Eddy Curry was at rebounding so that comparison is out the window. And he's had success everywhere he has played. So give the young man time before we say he is just a player who puts up empty stats on a bad team.
You've mentioned the Sixers cap room this summer, but the Summer of 2016 will be a summer that every team in the NBA with the exception of the Cavs and Clippers will have significant cap room. The warriors are going to go after Kevin Durant. The Sixers have had significant cap room the last two seasons and sat on the cap space instead of acquiring players to win games. My team (the Pistons) traded cap space to acquire Ersan Illysova, Marcus Morris and Reggie Bullock. Great players? Nope. Would they all make a great difference for Philly? Yes. Sixers haven't even tried. When your highest paid player is Carl Landry and he doesn't even play, you aren't trying.
this is exactly what I think is going to happen they will move some of there youth and picks for a borderline star i can't even name one that may be avaliable but the 76ers do have a lot of assets and cap space...Hopefully they let this tanking process ride out the rest of this season and starting next season add pieces to actually win...
I don't even give a fukk, the tank was over after this year anyway
It was unrealistic to think something like this wouldn't happen after 3 years of straight tanking
Even if Hinkie is fired we got our assets, draft picks and our future in place so
Stop tryna backtrack from saying dumb shyt
Bryan Colangelo season coming.
BC would bring in Bargs, trade all those extra 1st rounders for a bunch of Gary Neal-type bums and consistently waste Oak's prime years by building a team with a ceiling of 9th seed
And his drafting is fukkin terrible. Bargs over Aldridge (even though Bosh urged him to take LA), Ross over Andre Drummond, throwing in the picks that became Roy Hibbert and Goran Dragic for a decaying Jermaine O'Neal

Philly got The Don Colangelo
Great move.Him & his son were a great tandem in Phoenix.
The Suns won more games than any other NBA team during the 90's.Should've had at least 1-2 ships.
Jerry has always been one of the best when it comes to drafting players/trades.He's about to go ham in Philly.Watch.
They'll be a contender within 2-3 yrs
Hopefullly he'll hook the Suns up with some dope trades like Jerry West did for the Lakers.
Okafor for PJ Tucker

Ilyasova, Morris and Bullock are guys Detroit traded for, not simply guys they signed. Also, they're there to surround Drummond, Reggie Jackson and co. as they go for the playoffs. That wasn't gonna move the needle as much for Philly. (On top of that, Ilyasova wouldn't have been receptive to being in that kind of situation. You're only gonna be able to lure vets if that kind of situation is attractive and the Sixers don't feel like they have the kind of youth that will entice older vets to buy in.

They'll more than likely have humongous cap space for the 2017 FA class too. Not too mention, the 2017 class is deeper, and there will probably be less teams to compete with spending(most teams in 2016 will overspend).
with the Sixers luck muthafukka may die next week
not even from old age
choking on a Mentos or some shyt
The Bucks dumped Illysova contract because they were giving Greg Monroe the max, and we dealt Caron Butler un guaranteed contract to get him. Phoenix dumped Morris and Bullock for a 2nd round pick because they were going after Aldridge, and we already struck out on Demarre Carroll & Danny Green. Because we have a competent front office and some luck, now Morris is better than Carroll and Green, younger, and under contract for 3 more years cheaply. Philly could have easily gotten productive young vets like Marcus Morris on the cheap. It's clear Noel and Okafor are both centers so I'd trade Nerlens given he's contract yr, and get that young vet that can stretch the floor and start building a basketball team. I'd operate under the assumption that Saric and Embiid will never wear a Sixers jersey. If Embiid does play next year he'll probably be under mins restrictions

Marcus Morris was fresh off his rookie deal and no he is not better than either Carroll or Green yet.
He's a young player getting more of an opportunity in Detroit. Can't say any young player in Philly lacks opportunity.
The difference between Detroit and Philly is that Detroit has what Philly wants: a franchise type of guy in Drummond. Where Philly needs to get over themselves is that they lack confidence in nearly every young guy they acquire because he wasn't drafted first or isn't setting the league on fire.
Porzingawd is the next dirk you better jump on that bandwagon now brehIt Guarantees you the best players available, and thas the only way your winning the chip
I dont root for my team to be a treadmill, if your not a free agent destination then you either gotta get lucky(sorta like my mavs did) or get a star
Hell we tanked for dirk
