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

[WOAHMYGOODNESS]

There is definitely something wrong with it. I wouldn't put the heat there, cause they are missing bosh. And still, they regularly beat the cavs. So id say they have a chance


I'm talking about the pacers. Avg ass team since damn Reggie Miller. Never won shyt. No big free agent gonna go there. Not kd, not Russ, if Lebron leave, not him. Not kyrie. None of them.

And yet they are good enough to not get a draft pick worth a damn. And pretty much have first round loss written all over them.

The Hawks is another team. Never won shyt. Just keep on getting to the playoffs and what? Nothing.


The league has changed. These dudes are teaming up fast. They want to go to a place with good coaches, good players, good history. You just simply are not going to get a SUPERstar to about 20 teams in the league.

Not unless you draft one first. Or have so much cap room, you can buy two at once. Dudes are not about to go to the Pistons and try and win cause they make the 8th slot.

Thats why stan got jackson and harris before this cap boom snd signed them tk soon be cap friendly deals. People scoffed as jackson getting 80 million...waig until brandon jennings, kent bazemore, or mo speights gets 80 milllion

That's not Philly tanking. That's Sacramento tanking where you need to keep your pick. They had Klay and Steph. These guys got rid of everyone.

By everyone you mean Evan Turner and Spencer Hawes?

I must say I've never seen a bottom feeder team get this much attention in my life.

 

[Regular_P]

The next GM is gonna get a lot of credit for basically just utilizing all the picks that Hinkie left for him. Just have to draft the right guys

What great picks do they have if LA keeps their pick this year?

 

[rapbeats]

Do u think the players lose on purpose?

maybe maybe not in philly. what i think happens with philly, is that the GM/ownership does everything in their power to make sure philly never grows up. any super young group of nba players will lose a ton of games just on GP of being young and dumb. UNLESS you slipped up on bron and say shaq at the same time. youth be damned these dudes would win a lot of games(would lose to a grown up team full of ballers but would still come out rolling.

Here's the thing, i actually like PHILLY the team. i hate hinkie. cause i hate gimmicks. Be a GM, stop being the guy who goes to the draft to sit there and pray for a ball to roll your way. literally thats all he's good for. yes it saves the owner tons of cash cause everyone is on kid contract. and it keeps some of the fanbase from going nuts when they lose because ya know...they were supposed to since they are young and we need that pick. you do this too much and the players will start to feel like oh this is a joke of a team/franchise. i'll play hard maybe when we play gstate on natl TV and my fam and boys are watching. i might show up when kobe comes to town cause the arena will be packed. but aside from that. i aint going hard. i'm shooting silly shots, trying silly passes, half a... playing defense. WHY try hard when i know or think we're not really tryin to win. when i know the moment we start winning games my GM will trade away everyone worth something and get back to losing. i'll just collect my millions and not stress. This is the mentality of a non superstar winner player. this is the mentality of what could be a solid role guy or a allstar player. this could then change that persons mentality into a losers mentality even though out of HS and college they were big time winners and knew nothing about losing at this rate.

again other teams are losing too(my lakers are one of them). but the franchise/GM are not TRYING to lose every game by trading away anyone of value even youth. lets not forget they had bubbling young dudes growing into themselves and they traded away all of those dudes to turn into TEam tank. that was the last time they've seen the playoffs. i was rooted for them then. had high hopes for the 6ers . i even gave hinkie a pass for tanking once the dumb moves were made. but now i see what it is. he's trying to take the lazy way out.

and guess what he will deserve the credit. thanks for being a REAL GM not just a drafter tanker guy. you have to start making moves with what you already have.

 

[rapbeats]

Oh, and the Warriors DID tank. They did it to keep the pick that became Harrison Barnes. If that pick fell one more spot it would have gone to Utah.

prove it..and i'll bet someone was hurt on gstates team as usual back then... Bogut... david lee, somebody was hurt.

 

[Houston911]

hinkie did a great job

Jrue Holiday and Iggy

Bro please stop you clearly don't know what the fukk you talking bout

They tanked the last 2-3 weeks of the season, not the whole year. I remember them putting out some brutal crunch time lineups, but that was also the year Steph only played 26 games. It's nothing like these guys are insinuating or what Philly has been doing.

Jrue Holiday and Iggy

iggy needed to go because he wasnt enough, yet he made the youngstas think they could lean on him on offense. they couldnt. he wasnt that guy. they should've traded iggy for something of great value but kept jru.

They got good assumed value for Jrue. But the draft picks aren't always that good at the end of the day. Evan Turner pick was a flop for them.

 

[NatiboyB]

The most teams tank is like two years. After two years, you move from it.

GS never tanked. Hell Milwaukee never tanked. It's one thing to suck, another to tank

But the end state is sill the same you either win or you don't...

J rue has pretty much missed 75% of the games he's played with the Pelicans though...So much so to the point that Nerlins has almost caught up with him in terms of games played.
