Not to mention there's a possibility that adding young talent to awful teams might hurt actually hurt their development so ur shooting yourself in the foot.
Who's coaching while your squad is tanking? Usually some bum...
Who cares about Hinkie stepping down. He's already done irreparable damage to the NBA and the 76ers.

I’m here for the scraps
Exactly. On top of stripping your roster of any and all talent, they have I think 0 players with more than 2 seasons in the league so nobody can teach them how to be a good pro, you've intentionally built a losing culture so no free agents want to go there, and you spend several years not even knowing if the coach you have is any good because he's got a roster nobody can win with. A disaster all around.

Do u think the players lose on purpose?
Not true at all.
Majority of the players on their team have been in the NBA for more than two seasons.

you don't have to watch 6ers games to see where this went terribly wrong. Taking 3 straight centers just wasn't logical...they were never building a core just digging for stars
Losing culture talk is overrated, the Hornets were 7-59 just 4 seasons ago, they brought in the right coach and jettisoned all the players that were on the roster except 1, which was Kemba. They didn't even draft well, yet they still turned it around.
The Sixers are not as far off as people think, their roster can be filled out with Vets & Young undervalued players this summer in addition to the draft picks. The Nets are in a far worse position than the Sixers.

As a matter of fact, the Sixers aren't even the youngest team in the league.
The average age of their team is 24.7.
Celtics, Jazz & Bucks are all younger. And the Blazers are only slightly older (average 24.9)

Having draft picks is cool but at some point you gotta start building a core. 3 center that don't fit isn't a core. And teams aren't gonna just start trading for their assets for the fukk it.
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
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?
They have some of the best assets in the league, only the Celtics have a better war chest than them. Also, funny how Okafor would have been a good addition to your "core" group of players, yet with the Sixers he's no longer a building block?
If Okafor is a nice foundation for the Lakers, why isn't he one for the Sixers?

You can't have a core with 3 centers..it's really that simple. Okafor and a Randle would have been been a conflict maybe I'll admit but you can always pull one off the bench kinda like Utah did. How you gon have a rotation of 3 centers? Explain that. What about the other positions on the court? They have no PG SG or SF of the future. Luckily Mitch is smarter than I am cause drafting Russell was a godsend. Cause no we have our backcourt sowed up and a legit PF.They have some of the best assets in the league, only the Celtics have a better war chest than them. Also, funny how Okafor would have been a good addition to your "core" group of players, yet with the Sixers he's no longer a building block?
It's easy to see what they're planning, Okafor is an insurance policy for Embiid, if Embiid can't go then they go with Okafor as their core block. If Embiid does comeback and produces you can play him with Saric or Nerlens, and then Okafor becomes a trade piece
Again, they aren't that far off, you say they don't have a PG/SG or SF, they are going to get one of those in this draft, possibly two if your Lakers lose their pick. They can fill out the rest of their roster with free agency, it's really not as complex as you're trying to make it seem. A lot of the problem with Nerlens/Okafor will clear up if they can get more shooting (Ingram, Murray) or better defense at the point (Dunn) to help stop dribble penetration.
What will you say if they do get your pick and end up with Ingram and Dunn?
That would mean Covington and Smith become backups, which is solid right there.

In some fairness the 76ers were a top 10 defensive team so they may not be in as bad of a position as it seems, they basically need good scorers at the wings and you have a core.

I am kinda worried about getting Ben Simmons tho. Dude can and will prolly play well but honestly shyt don't fit with me at all. I feel like a buncha dudes gotta get traded for him cause hes kinda that prototype for the new age 4 position more than he's a wing.

The ignorance in this thread 
I mean there are a lot of trolls and ignorance on this site, but in this thread
I seriously questions some of the posters in here really watch basketball and if they do, do they comprehend what they are watching.
The Sixers will be fine in the next couple of years and alot of the success will have to do with what Hinkie did.
