And I'm glad they did. Come to ATL aytonHawks took note.
How? They just kept tanking getting lucky with high picks.
Not to say they should've stayed on the treadmill trying to make the playoffs, but, I don't see some genius plan.
I also did that same shyt as a 13 year old on NBA 2K. Trading away any decent player on your team for 2nd round picks so you can tank even more isn't a stroke of genius.
All that crakkka did is what people do in video games. Or at least what I always do in video games when I trying to rebuild a franchise. I trade away every decent player on the team for draft picks. Then I lose intentionally to secure the top draft pick. Then I draft the top rated players. Then after 2-3 years of this charade, I have the best team in the league.
This works in video games because no one is actually paying money to watch my games when I've intentionally gutted the roster for 2-3 years with the express purpose of losing. Also its a video game so I can simulate through this horrible part.
What Philly did to the NBA from 2013-2016 was an ABOMINATION to competitive sports. Its not something anyone who actually enjoys basketball should be happy about.
Do you morons not even remember what they had to do to get here?
Most of the other people in sports actually have the decency not to subject their fans and the league to INTENTIONAL LOSING for that long. From 2013-2016 the Sixers were intentionally losing in a way we've never seen before in competitive sports.
Do you really want a league where teams actually try to copy that shyt? If you do, then you don't care about the NBA.
you ready to take this L?
No. At the end of the day, the intentional losing was an abomination to competitive sports.
Also the NBA is right now at an all-time low point when it comes to talent. A garbage ass Toronto squad is 1st in the East. These records don't matter when the whole league sucks.
wish the knicks would hire him
You do know ANYONE can do what he did. Intentionally losing isn't special. Its just something most people cause they care about the state of the sport ain't gonna do.
They already do. The only difference between the Sixers and the Kings/Suns/Lakers/Magic is that the Sixers had a plan to lose and committed to it thru trades and short-term signings. The others either can't draft or waste valuable cap space by doing dumb shyt like pay Luol Deng 72 million dollars. Or they keep cycling thru bad coaches and hurt the development of their young prospects.

And you wonder why the NBA is garbage. If 10-12 teams are tanking every year like the Sixers to try and get high draft picks, think about what happens to the game?
That's all I was saying in my criticism of Hinkie and the Sixers. I was looking at it from a league-wide perspective rather than an individual team. If I ran the Sixers or any NBA team, I would do the same thing. Cause from the self-interest point of view, its the smart thing to do. But sometimes the smart thing to do from a selfish perspective isn't the best thing to do for society as a whole. That is what tanking did. It was bad for the NBA as a whole even if it was good for the Sixers.

what's the difference between intentional and unintentional losing at the end of the day?
