Why does Sam Hinkie still have a job?

[Leasy]

We all realize they are rebuilding the argument is they are doing it with no logic or direction.

What direction breh? Wiggins wanted to come here but Embiid got hurt etc... Luck is not on their side

 

[hayesc0]

MCW isn't that good.

2 of the 3 centers would've been #1 picks if they were healthy and 1 of those guys may have significant health issues.

I guess we not gonna see eye to eye.

 

[ALonelyDad]

Why do people act like the Sixers have been tanking for 9 years?

Wolves haven't made the playoffs since 04.

Jazz last made it the same year Philly last made it there.

yeah but the Sixers roster looks like a clusterfukk, their tanking plan doesn't make sense unless Hinkie is flipping one of the bigs.

I guess we not gonna see eye to eye.

I don't see MCW as this cornerstone where trading him means the GM has no idea what he's doing. Him being ROY means nothing in a weak rookie class. Mike Miller was ROY.

Who should they have taken instead of Noel? Embiid? The one guy they wanted this year was already gone and they clearly didn't want Mudiay.

Worst case scenario is they're stuck with 3 young bigs with potential and use one of them to fill a need.

They scout all year and have a huge draft board for every contingency also how do u know what u have with mcw u didn't even finish out his rookie contract

FA period hasn't even started.

We don't know what the roster will look like come opening night.

And if Embiid is healthy, one of them will more than likely be traded.

And clearly, with Russell being taken, Okafor was the highest guy on the draft board.

 

[jwinfield]

I'm not confident in Kobe being healthy all year.

Will the Lakers be able to get a top FA?

Even if Kobe is healthy, will a 37 year old Kobe, Randle, Clarkson and Russell be good enough to make the playoffs

If someone offers me the Lakers pick top 5 protected for MCW, I'm taking that chance

No good player is signing with the sixers breh

They're not gonna go after stars. They're nowhere near ready for that.

They just need to add some solid vets.

Guys that can help the young guys on and off the court.

additionally the whole premise of the thread is based on wild assumption

Nikkas reading they crystal ball & chicken bones to masquerade their obvious hate.


Just keep it real.. it's trendy to hate on Philly

 

[Danny Up]

Before they even started tanking, they were able to trade for a guy that would've gone #1 if not for his injury.

The first year of their tank they got another guy that would've been #1 if not for injury and a top Euro prospect with a pick they got the year before.

How good are they supposed to be right now?

How to rebuild by drafting guys who can't play? You can't. It's stupid.

 

[Danny Up]

And in all likelihood, Philly will make it back to the playoffs before Minnesota will simply because it's the East

Not unless they change their rebuilding approach drastically.

 

[Swagnificent]

Will ya'll nikkas get off our dikks Never seen a team face so much backlash for 2 years of INTENTIONAL losing

fixed.

thats the reason everyone is disgusted. its not the losing. its the fact ya'll are intentionally trying to lose. no one else in basketball is doing such a thing so blatantly.

 

[Swagnificent]

Theyre getting rhe lakers pick. That will be a lotto selection if they dont sign aldridge or deandre jordan. They have their own pick which will be terrible

Embiid
noel
okafor
saric (if he comes over)
lakers pick
philly 2016 pick

All of these guys will be on rookie deals

Breh, do you realize that philly goes into next offseason with these 6 guys (if saric comes over) eating up less than 20 mil in cap space and the salary cap is 89 mil?

Throw a few cheap second rounders on the roster to fill it out and theyve got money to add 3 or 4 quality players to the young core.



Hinkie is doing it the right way

you do know there isn't a single free agent worth a damn who'll sign with philly. you got rookies disgusted to join that organization. what makes you think any decent vet wants to be part of that fukkery? the only free agents they'll get are guys they overpay for.

and next years draft is WEAK. even if the lakers pick is in the lottery, it'll probably not net them a player close to MCW's quality.

next years draft is super weak though. a doubt the 6th pick in 2016 will be as good as MCW.
