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

Now who else wanna fukk with Hollywood Court?
are you one of those people that say the cavs play better with Delly on the court and Kyrie on the bench :mjpls:


No, but for a team that doesn't need a traditional PG, and just a dude that will hit the three, occasionally create and defend he's going to be in big demand (Bucks & Sixers especially).

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:


Who would have guessed the undrafted Australian dude would be so important a few years later that my life is on the line :to:

Mozgov is definitely gone, yall probably try your hardest to get Koufous who seems to be the apple of the organization's eye.

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

I just don't like the idea of wanting to have a losing record just so you can be in the lottery. The idea of tanking is :trash:. It has loser mentality written all over it.

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

I just think they shouldn't be tanking. I just don't like the acceptance of losing which is required in the tanking process.

*puts gun back in holster* :wow:

This season has worn me down.

Kyrie wanted to fight Delly after their first scrimmage together.

That yin and yang is needed and they probably should play more together.

They've been monitoring Larry Sanders.

Bucks talking about playing Giannis as the PG next year. MCW can get traded and Delly can take his spot ez.

Gun was unholstered? I can see you're the Nino Brown / Bishop in this friendship :francis:

I like Delly, he's better than people think and his defense is very good at a position people struggle to defend.

Larry probably blew through his money trying to release his album.

Safety was on :mjpls:

I don't trust Sanders but they don't really have many options with no cap space....Hibbert, Pachulia, Mahimi......very far fetched but Noah or Gasol.

I could see a scenario where Mozgov signs a one year deal for like $6-7 million and try to prove himself again next year.

I don't see a team giving him a big ass deal. But everyone has room so someone might be dumb enough to do it.

Can't believe nikkas in here was saying nobody improved on our team. :snoop:


Jerami Grant was a 2nd round pick who was a fringe NBA player when he started here has turned into a near top 10 shot blocker and one of the best rim protectors in the NBA in just 2 years. He's developed a handle that he didn't have before and he's a 3pt shot away from being a real problem in the NBA and he's only 21.


Robert Covington was a D-League player who couldn't get a chance in the league and within 2 years he is lowkey one of the best 3 and D wings in the league and on a very good contract.


Other players have improved on our team as well but the record isn't going to show that and you wouldn't know that by just looking at box scores. You'll probably just laugh at the players I named because these guys are bench players on other NBA teams that nobody knows but if they weren't in Philly they would receive more of the spotlight for the things they do.



To make definitive statements on 19-23 year old players like they don't improve is just stupid. I can't believe people are finished with Okafor after 1 year and are judging him based on this tumultuous situation he was placed in. No rookie player would have positive advanced numbers on this team because it's severely and negatively skewed by the quality of the team. If you can't see that then you're an idiot.

fukk was the point of stepping down? You paved the way for the team to be competive, lived through three of the worst seasons EVER and now you decide to walk away? If everything goes right the next man gonna get ALL the credit and look like a fukking genius.

This process will NEVER pay off. The team will improve (cuz they can't get any worse) but they won't be any better off than the teams that have spent the last 3 years competing and "trapped" in mediocrity.

Winning the lottery is not guaranteed
The odds of a generational, franchise changing player being in the draft are low
The odds of winning the lottery in the same year a surefire franchise changing player is available is low
Teams rarely trade legit great players, so any assets are more than likely going to be spent on expensive borderline vets

The draft is just too random it can't be your only strategy. Like if Okafor becomes as good a player as Demarcus Cousins that would be a huge draft win. But the team will still suck and if he isn't happy he might leave...too many factors working against you. The best you can do is compete every year and try to keep your job

this is a Zema level post. you should feel ashamed of yourself :mjlol:
no i shouldnt. i understand basketball. i also have been a laker fan since forever. so unlike most of yall that talk about winning rings. i actually know how its been done and how to put those teams together. i've seen the formula numerous times. and the hinkie way aint it. doing it the hinkie way is PURE LUCK. again, its a lazy cop out method for a GM to continulously tank and tank and tank and tank on purpose. and dont say the lakers are tanking on purpose. the lakers almost missed the pick last year and the year before that because the lakers dont understand tanking. sometimes like minny you're just a really young team thats not grown up yet. no one in the nba is lebron status as a young first to 3rd year player. so that means they can't impact a team enough to add an addtl 30 games ot the win column. But it doesnt mean they suck either. they are getting better. so you have to start putting some vets around them right around the point where they start growing up(assuming your team doesnt already have a couple). this is why bogut, livingston, Iggy, barbosa, works so well for gstate. its the perfect mix of young and old vets.

the lakers will have to do that too after this season. regardless of what happens(if we get the pick or not). philly was intentionally losing games trading away guys who started to bubble to get more picks to suck some more and get more picks to suck some more and get more picks to suck some more. earn ya paycheck as a GM. stop being lazy.

odds are he might leave. the only reason these guys are not bolting for new teams now is because that new cba saved these GM's owners sorry a..es they are the only team that can pay their players the max amt of money($$and years). so no one can compete with that after your rookie contract is up. 99.9% of the people have to take that kind of money. its literally too much to leave on the table. without that, cousins would've been gone, without that okafor would be surely gone(and he still might leave anyway). no one thats becoming a real star player wants to stay on a team that has no desire to get better and just wants to keep drafting kids wishing upon a star.

They were in the playoffs in 2012, the Kings, Pistons and Wolves have longer droughts and nobody says a word, your rambling posts suck :mjlol:
stop it. they were in the playoffs because they allowed their kids to grow up and they made some moves. then they traded that entire team away to tank. MJ smiley that one. that have sucked ever since wishing upon a star. sure they MIGHT get lucky one day. but if thats a great plan what happens when every nba team does it? what happens when all the nba teams suck on purpose and wait on bron, kobe to come in. how bad would the league be then say for 2 top teams?

:dead:

Your posts are horrible, that team was -

Andre Iguodala
Spencer Hawes
Elton Brand
Thaddeus Young
Jrue Holiday
Evan Turner
And Lou Williams as their leading scorer :russ:

You just talking out your ass, the team wasn't very good and had they stuck with it they'd be where they are right now anyway, except they wouldn't have all these future first rounders from other teams. They have the right to swap picks with the Kings, so even if the Kings get the top pick it becomes the Sixers, didn't know that, did you? :mjlol:
