On the low.. The Sixers could be headed down a dangerous path

[Squirrel from Meteor Man]

Guys in here thinking a healthy Embiid and okafor would be a playoff team who's passing them the ball? Isaiah Canaan? Who's shooting 3s? Nik Stauskas? Just sickening the product they put out every night.

Every team you mentioned wouldn't trade places with Philadelphia now or in the future. The Process is a failure and it will continue to be a failure. No free agent worth their weight will sign there and Okafor can't wait to leave. All these draft picks and moves, and the team continues to get worse every year. It's a joke they subject the rest of the league to their garbage. I hope Ben Simmons doesn't have the misfortune of being drafted to that graveyard.

Teams aren't getting lucky, they're being better. Drafting good players and not trading any and everyone for draft picks who eventually turn into below average role players, if they're lucky. All the 6ers have to show for it are 3 guys who play the same position, including one who spent his summer re-breaking his foot in Vegas, and a guy in Europe who would rather brave the winter in Siberia or wherever he is than lose 65 games a year. I'm tired of the optimism being permeated from this fraudulent franchise. They have no plan to compete, now or ever. Fire Hinkie and free Okafor. I'm out.

You dont get it they are purposely putting half that roster up to be bad to get top 3 picks you dont think we could of gotten half those free agents by throwing dollars at them money talks. Come back to me next year we the tank is over. I guess its cool to be a phoenix Sun and a Miami Heat average ass squads

When have 5 top-3 picks on one team all drafted in 5 years ever made a franchise a playoff team? It's never happened and it never will happen. Hinkie ruined that franchise

Franchise been ruin since the 80s the last time we won one. So besides the five teams who won championships the past 20 plus years the 25 rest are ruin because they didnt win. You sounding stupid.

That's a special circumstance that involves possible ownership and assistant coach stuff for the vets. Who are gonna be these vets that are gonna fall back and guide Philly with nothing to gain?

At the moment, no one because of what they've done with their roster.

with the right picks next year the 6ers will leap over all of these teams tho. they might end up with 2 picks in the top 5 if they draft simmons and a guard like murray then they'll be set to compete with anyone in the league. throw in some solid bench players with all that cap space and they'll run the east.

i'm curious to see what will happen with embiid during all of this

What makes you think they're gonna spend money on anyone? They traded K.J. McDaniels because they didn't want to pay him this past summer and all he got was 3/$10 million.

What happens if they don't win the lottery and get Simmons? Even more, what if the Lakers end up winning the lottery and taking Simmons and Philly doesn't get their pick until 2017?

They gotten lucky what do they have that we dont the past 5 years.

Paul George who might leave
Drummond
Vuc who we traded and Ola/Harris
Knicks are not better off than us.
Mil got lucky with Parker pick but also had Giannis and Middleton
76ers had nobody until Hinkie came and the previous ownership traded everybody

76ers have Okafor Noel Embiid Saric who is coming next year and 4 first rounders how is that not good. He had gotten back two of his first rounders traded by previous ownership.
You guys know nothing

How is drafting Paul George 10th overall lucky? That's lower than any recent Philly pick. He's only 25 and in Indy for at least two more seasons.

Drummond is better than anyone on Philly's roster and he's only 22. Reggie Jackson is turning into a very good PG under SVG and is 25. How is Philly's future brighter than Detroit's?

Orlando has talent up and down the roster. I still don't understand why they are still struggling. Gotta be coaching again. They could probably package a bunch of their young guns for a superstar at some point too.

The Knicks have quality role players around Porzingas with a bunch of cap space this summer. Phil has given them stability. FAs will want to go there in the future.

Why did Milwaukee get lucky with the Parker pick? Even off an ACL surgery, he has a very bright future and is just 20. Giannis is only 20. MCW has career highs in shooting so far this season; maybe Kidd is finally getting through to him. All their important players are 25 and under.

I want to know how Philly is going to be better than Detroit or Milwaukee in the next five years. Those two teams could potentially be running the east in a few years.
