Who cares about Hinkie stepping down. He's already done irreparable damage to the NBA and the 76ers.

I'm glad he's gone. I got the first couple of years but by the third year:comeon: I think he was going to continue to tank even with all the picks and cap room. This was more fun to him than actually putting together a good team.
But when teams suck for 10, 12 years the talk around here is "man a couple of more top 5 picks they'll be awesome :noah:"

they've been saying this for how long? 100 years? since DR J? stop it. they suck, the gm was stupid and the plan was flawed. you tank for a time. you dont tank FOREVER waiting until one day you get jordan and kobe. what if it doesnt happen year 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10. do you still keep tanking? do yall realize tanking that long or with that method is a cop out. its the easy way out for a GM. sure you hope you get lucky the first few years but after that, you have to start making GM moves and moving pieces around to get better players and up coming guys that you see as stars that others do not. its one thing to be a bad team but philly has been intentionally losing their games for the past 3 seasons or so. making sure they are bottom of the pile so they guarantee themselves a top 3 pick. it is bad for the nba and as well as philly.

this is a Zema level post. you should feel ashamed of yourself :mjlol:

Would u rather suck but have a purpose or suck because u suck?

I don't want to suck in order to possibly get better. I'd rather suck because I suck(no homo).

I don't think you should want to trash. Even if it is for draft picks to get better. You shouldn't like being in the lottery draft year after year.

That's why I don't like the idea of tanking. You shouldn't want to lose period.

The problem in this thread is people think Philly was intentionally trying to suck when that wasn't the mission. It was to collect cheap talent and undervalued players. When they started trading off overvalued players (Turner, MCW, Holiday) for draft picks people said OOOOO! They're tanking!!! and ran with it. Some of you even repeating that "Trust the Process" mantra when Hinkie nor any Philly exec ever said it.

U would rather just be trash because of inept decisions like the nets
Or be trash with a goal of turning the assetts u received for being trash in to something kf value

Cost to what? They have caproom and could go after guys like Fournier, Crabbe, Dellavedova, young dudes that will help add depth and fill out the roster, in addition to the top 3 pick they'll get.


If they get the Lakers pick as well, I guarantee they start to fill out their roster. You acting like they have no draft picks or some shyt, I'd expect such poor judgment from someone who mocks the Great One.

Hell they were in the playoffs more recently than the Wolves who you're giving props too :mjlol:

Do you want to die in the middle of the day?

It's not so much that they WANT to be trash. It's a means to an end, that end being a championship caliber team. Philly went to this approach because they felt stuck where they were. That and Philly tunes you out if you're not striving for a ring.

Nobody likes being in the lottery, but you're there to get a player so good you won't have to worry about being there much longer. There are those instances where teams get hooked on rebuilding (I call it serial rebuilding) where that becomes your only purpose. Philly was teetering on that. But I completely get the intent

No, not every team has max caproom, the Cavs will be over the cap so losing Delly is a real possibility for them especially since he's an UFA. The Warriors can't just match whatever for Barnes either, they have a couple of guys they need to resign. There will be some players that teams cant afford to match.

Delly is restricted.

I see you tho Judas. :mjpls:

I just don't see them letting him actually walk in the off season. He's far too important to that team.

He'll get his Cory Joseph type deal from another team and they'll match.

Mozgov and Jefferson are probably the only for sure ones gone right now.

JR might be the one that gets really ugly. :francis:
