The difference in energy from the crowd when Embiid is on the floor vs off is pretty nuts. Crowd gives 0 fargs when he's on the bench.

Nice 3.

they havent been on center court for a while....why give the good seats away for free when you charge a grand+ for them

Title: Re: 16-17 Sixers Season Thread
Post by: MDS on October 26, 2016, 09:26:48 PM
in that era they didnt have fans next to the players courtside, so they had a tad extra room and goat jasner was grandfathered into that spot or just granted it because hes jasner

now only essential personnel are courtside...even zumoff is a few rows above

I'm not even mad.

I hated the shot selection late in the game but they played ok. Embiid with the block in transition was great. Watching someone that huge cover ground like that is amazing
Title: Re: 16-17 Sixers Season Thread
Post by: Sgt PSN on October 26, 2016, 10:45:35 PM
Embid hasn't played basketball in 2 years and he was still the best player on the floor for the Sixers tonight.  That's impressive enough on it's own and insane when you consider he was only playing in 4-5 min stretches.  So hard to stay in rhythm like that. I can't wait to see him in a month or so once really settled in.

cant shoot and cant dribble is not going to get you far....their tt under was the lock of all time this year

they need a guard and/or a wing who can break down the defense in the worst way....and obviously they need shooters but they have needed that since like 1985

last couple of years has been tanking whats happening now is talent collection on the court but with 0% roster construction...they have a shtein ton of assets they need to now properly build a team

Title: Re: 16-17 Sixers Season Thread
Post by: ice grillin you on October 29, 2016, 03:24:07 PM
should also be noted that there is zero history that hinkie would know how to put together a basketball team...all hes proven is that he was able to find an owner that would allow him to tank and collect mad assets...dont get me wrong he taught a master class in how to do it properly but thats a whole different thing than constructing a championship roster
Title: Re: 16-17 Sixers Season Thread
Post by: PhillyPhreak54 on October 29, 2016, 03:29:58 PM
My belief that Colangelo will spend stupidly is more that he's from the older more classic form of exec and those are the ones who give stupid deals to players who aren't worth it.

His record of transactions is rather unimpressive too

http://www.basketball-reference.com/executives/colanbr99x.html

I liked Hinkie going against the grain a bit.

It's so hard to shed your books of bad deals. The Sixers are fresh and ready to be built right. I don't believe Colangelo to be the one to do this

Post by: ice grillin you on October 29, 2016, 08:55:57 PM
it wouldnt not make a difference because of how far away they are...in theory they are less than 5-6 years...its because of how much the cap has and will go up....you could farg up on a huge contract or two and it wouldnt matter and that goes for most teams much less the sixers who have more money than god much less farg up on overpaying some low to id level free agents

whats funny is he could have easily done that this past offseason but instead did everything perfectly....and j is still phreaking out

no its not...you dont know the landscape of the todays nba and you have no reason to beieve coangelo isnt the person to build the team (as i said theres no strong reason to believe he will be great either)

just say you are wildly making stuff up without the knowledge of why and we can move on

hinkie was a dreadful talent evaluater with no social skills or leadership skills or accountability but hes amazing because he made obvious draft picks and raped vlade divac in one trade

meanwhile the sixers are already built but colaneglo is going to sign tyreke evans to a 100 mil deal just like he did to mike conley this year WAIT

please list his numerous talent evaluations that would define him as dreadful....dont say anyone could do it because you said he was dreadful not that he made all the right moves but those moves were no brainers

he was dreadful because outside of a marginal rotation player like covington theres nothing of consequence that he drafted or signed....its all garbage. all those 2nd round picks and nothing. kj mcdaniels maybe had some talent and he farged up that situation beyond belief and traded him for a....2nd round pick!

all he did was travel around the world scouting players and came up with nothing. the dude is a farging geek who thinks hes red auerbach. stay in your lane sam -- telling the smart basketball man what the market says.

that and saying he didnt hit on any second rounds picks or udfa...which is a. untrue and b. a silly thing to use as evidence of someone being dreadful

thats like screaming at an nfl gm because none of his udfa have done anything

and yet hinkie hit on the best 2nd rounder of 2014 in jeramie grant and the best 2nd rounder of 2015 in richaun holmes...granted its easier to keep a second rounder when your team sucks but these guys are legit nba players which is more than you can say about 95% of nba second rounders

he made eleven 2nd round picks

6, 7, 8, 11 can be immediately thrown out as they were draft and stash guys who were never coming over

10, didnt make an nba roster

1, 5 made nba rosters (a feat for a 2nd rounder)

2, dealt to new orleans in the nerlens trade

3, dealt to houston for the pick that got you richaun holmes

4, best pick of the entire 2014 second round

9, best pick of the entire 2015 second round

not dreadful

i assumed this was going to be about nerlens.

i mean i liked how jerami was beginning to take it to the rim and be less of a spaz but agreed that he wasn't going to be on the team past this year anyway. probably wouldn't get much play once ben gets back anyway.

meh. 1st round pick is nice i guess. and at least ersan can hit the 3 fairly well.

Post by: PhillyPhreak54 on November 01, 2016, 04:04:19 PM
Earliest the Sixers can get the 1st rounder is 2020 because OKC owes one to Utah (lottery protected).

The Sixers pick is top 20 protected.

If it doesn't end up being the 1st under the conditions it then goes to two 2nd rounders

its still a stupid ludicrous thing to go at him about but what i think gottleib was saying is that even if simmons was being paid by the makers of the doc he still participated in something about the ncaa that got him paid thus he was making money off the ncaa...but that might even be an dumber argument since simmonds beef with the ncaa is that they get all the money and the players get none so why shouldnt he use them to cake off a little himself...

the fact that he didnt get any money for it makes his ownage of gottleib that much better

place was rocking last night, had a blast down there. jojo is awesome, and even though the mvp chants are premature, the guy is going to be sick.

also - AI was there, place went nuts when they put him on the big screen. sproles was also there - the sixers even played the eagles fight song when they showed him. eagles chants followed by a group below us mocking a fat guy in a rondo jersey.

good times.

when you consistently lose really close games it falls just as much on the coach as the players.

I couldn't even get passed the first sentence without wincing. 

QuoteTimes weren't so joyful the last time Pennsylvania's basketball team, the 76ers, stepped on the hardwood in New Orleans.

Even though I guess it's technically true, that just doesn't sound right at all. 

I did laugh at the part about Dario losing his warmup shirt though.

because they all know he should be playing

that was a sincere standing O and I would have done the same thing. it's one thing if a player spouts off about playing time when he hasn't earned it or has a history of being a douche.

those people that are still going every night to watch a zesty team play are mostly real fans and know that big jah is hot shtein and nn and joel is where it's at. even though i have slowly become to accept the fact that NN is most likely odd man out. farg brett.

2nd to last possession not having a point guard in, even its tj mcconnell, was asinine. then he drew up a really good play for the win with jojo setting a pick to free up covington. last qtr or so jojo was owned by kat. hes not there yet.

the larger reason to me why brett sucks is that when there was no pg out there, the rest of the team looked completely clueless. that's all coaching. also 2 or 3 5 second possessions in the last two minutes is all too common.

and yeah jojo had a bad fourth but his first three quarters were solid. does KAT always whine like a bitch that much or was he just getting frustrated?

Basically gotta hope that a big goes down for a contender. Otherwise, they might have to just take whatever they can get for him at the deadline. There's really no reason for him to finish the season in Philly. Get rid of him so that NN and Joel (and eventally Ben) can get maximum time together on the floor.

likable in that they have a group of young guys who play hard & seem to genuinely care & enjoy playing with each other.  it has little to do with wins & losses.  fans recognize their limitations & know that most of these guys are only here for the short term.  but they're much more enjoyable to watch than a team like the knicks with high paid vets who don't give a crap. 

heck, i don't even like tj...it's pretty embarrassing that a guy with such limited talent is on the roster...let alone starting at pg lately.  but if you didn't smile after that game winning shot & the reaction from the sixers' players/crowd/announcers, then i don't know what to tell you.

:-D

the roster is the tank.  sure they'll win a few games like last night...but talent rules in the nba.  they'll lose plenty of close ones...like they have already.  they should wind up with a decent draft pick. 
once you realize that your personal feelings as a fan have no impact whatsoever on the outcome of the games, it gets easier.

im curious cause sixer twitter keeps saying non stop how likeable they are....who the farg other than jo jo and nerlens makes this team ultra likeable...or is likeable another way of saying they arent going to have the worst record in the nba this year...cause their offense is about as unlikeable as you can get

anyway dont get too attached

95% of the current playing roster will be gone when they are good...in the meantime a bunch of douchebags are ruining their draft pick in maybe the best draft of all time

you've been miserable about every win for two years now and they still got ben last year. i'm not sure what's worse, not being able to enjoy a win thats fun to watch or you thinking this team has enough talent to win a shtein load a games and blow a high draft pick.

roster is opposite of a tank this year...its not good by any stretch dont get me wrong...but you dont get gerald henderson illaysova and for that matter bayless if you are trying to tank...regardless of the draft they needed one more tank year...the fact that this draft is so ill made it an even more important year to super suck

yeah they still should get a good player or two but they need a superstar wing or guard and where they are dropping to really hurts those chances...if they fall too far perhaps they can package their own pick and the laker pick if they get it to move up

anyway the process was a farce run by a geek with no basketball intellect but the incredible ability to read a market and collect assets. 1 of those assets happens to be joel hans embiid. leggo sixers.

saric has a lunatic commie father

there's little to no shot this thing works....so its good thing its gonna take 4 years to start seeing it. OR they could have drafted players that could play, have 4 youngins on the floor by november, and go from there. if it works. BOOM. if it dont, youre back in the lotto going for another player.

but keep buying the team propaganda that this is the only possibly way to do it and that it'll definitely work because hinkie is a genius that thinks less of the fans than josh huff does.

I figured out a way to make you happy. Sac just lost Rudy Gay for the season. If the season were to end today and the lottery fell as it should, they'd have the 9th pick. Root for the Sixers to make the playoffs and for Sac to tank. There's a legit shot the Sixers could make the playoffs and still wind up with two lottery picks.

sixers moved from 3 to 6 today and lakers went into the top 5....hope everyone is happy

I figured out a way to make you happy. Sac just lost Rudy Gay for the season. If the season were to end today and the lottery fell as it should, they'd have the 9th pick. Root for the Sixers to make the playoffs and for Sac to tank. There's a legit shot the Sixers could make the playoffs and still wind up with two lottery picks.

im well aware....but for the record theres no chance the lakers dont tank to protect their pick....also please for the love of allah stop talking sixers playoffs

I'm cool with however this season plays out.  Playoffs or lottery pick doesn't make much difference to me.  I have the same approach with this team and JoJo/Simmons as I did with the Eagles and Wentz.  Just be better at the end of the season than they were at the beginning.  This is basically a 3 month preseason between now and April as far as I'm concerned...even more so when Simmons finally plays.

they arent...i would feel the same way if this was any of the other three teams....in fact i was pissed last year when the flyers went from a top 5 pick to a massive run to the playoffs

but i know that the sixers are not a lot of peoples favorites and thus they dont really care either way...really im giving them the benefit of the doubt cause if its not that then its ignorance and stupidity as a sports fan

I am not the world's biggest basketball fan, but I love watching NBA teams that defend (not college teams that defend, farg that, "college teams that defend" is just code for "white kids trying hard"). Watching athletically improbable giants try and succeed at stopping other giants from scoring is a lot of fun. And for that reason I am enjoying the shtein out of this team. Covington, Saric, Ersan, Noel and Embiid all defend like crazy and it's a lot of fun. TJ and Sergio belong in my local rec league, but whatever. Since I am not invested in this team the same way I am with the eagles/flyers I can say without question that the Sixers are the most fun I have watching sports right now.

ersan is a joke of a defender and Dario is a willing guy but has been below average

when jo jo is on the court they are a top ten defensive team when he's not they basically suck...that's how good his rim protection has been

because best case scenario is two top five picks...in no scenario is making the playoffs best anything....in sports the better your record is the worse your draft pick is....and in a draft that might have the best top 8 ever why wouldnt you want as many of those players as possible

I don't disagree with them getting as many high draft picks as possible being the best case scenario.  Mo assets, mo potential.  But that doesn't mean that getting little glimpses like this current stretch they're on (I think they've won 7 of their last 9) aren't good for the team either.

I think this little streak they're on is more mirage than reality.  They're probably more prone to lose 7 of 9 more often than they'll win 7 of 9.  But small flashes of potential is not a bad thing here.  And if you think it is, then you should avoid watching after the break when Simmons starts getting minutes. 

And quit worrying about hipster fans.  Or hipsters in general.  And fans in general.  They don't make or break the process.

Okafor starts, tank.

I have questions:
Does Okafor have any trade value at all at this point?
Are there GMs who are dying to grab a one-way center who might eat and punch everything on non-game nights?
Do they even make skinny jeans that are long enough for Nerlens?

lol so they shouldn't care about getting a third stud in a couple months because they have lost too much in the last three years

think about what you are saying you care more about beating Milwaukee tonight than getting the best possible player in june

then you say they don't need another great player because that college guy might possibly be decent and because they already have simmonds...except simmonds hasn't played yet so he "may be a decent player"....well if simmonds is a coin flip why wouldn't you want the best possible coin flip from this draft to increase your odds of getting a second superstar not to mention getting one at a position of need i.e. guard or wing....my god it would be devastating if they get stuck in a spot where the best three or four players are front court guys

simmons is the truth. no maybe's with him.

on the surface, sure, they could use another superstar, specifically a wing. but there are plenty of ways to obtain that....their pick (they could just lose on their own), kings swap, lakers pick now or lakers pick next year, kings pick 2019, their pick 2018, free agency, trade, etc. its not like it was 3 years ago where they had nothing and needed to lose and trade everyone to get assets.

so dont worry about lotto balls...enjoy the games....let the chips fall where they may at the end of the year. playoffs would be exciting. lotto balls would be fine, too.

so dont worry about lotto balls...enjoy the games....let the chips fall where they may at the end of the year. playoffs would be exciting. lotto balls would be fine, too.

lol...so you are so sick of losing you are rooting for meaningless regular season games against milwaukee but are fine with "letting the chips fall where you may" in the draft....your contradictions are so fast and furious they make me dizzy....if the process and tank really upset you that much (and i dont believe they do as you couldnt care less about this franchise) every single draft slot would matter to you so that they get the best possible player to ensure they are as great as they can be as soon as possible...but somehow that is stupid to you but winning as many january games as they can this year carries more importance

and of all the nonsense spewed this takes first place

simmons is the truth. no maybe's with him.

the person who blindly ripped every pick and trade they have made for the last three years and who says that this upcoming incredible draft will produce  "maybe decent college players" is now sure ben simmons who hasnt played a minute in the nba is the truth

bwahahaha

I am one that enjoys the occasional win here and there win but 8 out of 10 is ridiculous. Only Philadelphia could have such bad luck in a year in which they need a legit PG, and there are probably 5 that could be studs, now they decide to make a run and will get the 7-10 pick.

close your eyes and without jerking your junk try and imagine the sixers going forward with markell fultz or DSJR

i still want fultz but i was on the lonzo train for a bit until i saw that he has brothers in HS named LiAnthony and LaMelo and now I want them all to die. LaMelo is the douche who keeps chucking up 3s from halfcourt.

theres top 3 by record and theres top 3 by ping pong balls...ive always said finish top 5 by record and after the lottery they have to be at worst 8...also for something you say was "not possible" halfway thru the season they are a whopping 2 wins out of the third spot and your hereos at 538 have them finishing with the 3rd worst record right now....so dont act like it was impossible

regardless of where you think they can/will finish if you think winning is good right now you should be waterboarded

Post by: Sgt PSN on February 06, 2017, 05:39:12 PM
The only reason Hinkie drafted Jah in the first place was because JoJo had the major setback with his foot.  Had to have a big to fall back on in case Embiid was done.  That's typical Philly shtein to have it work out this way.

Getting a 1st in return for him is great, imo.  Can hopefully  be used in a package to move up in the draft if they need to.
Title: Re: 16-17 Sixers Season Thread
Post by: SD on February 06, 2017, 05:53:48 PM
Hinkie wanted Porzingis but he didn't want to come here and his agent did everything in his power to make that known (no private workout etc.). Jah was the consensus pick. I don't fault Hinkie for taking him.

Now it's being reported Jrue might be involved and the Pels are talking to several different teams.

but considering rejecting the trade in turn wound up making sactown significantly worse, then of course praise colangelo magic

Here's my hope, it's a weak big man draft, so maybe a team that is set at guard trades for him.

The boogie cousins trade was the best thing to happen to the sixers since Joel Embiid's twitter account.

seeing a lot of twitter freakout

need to see the protections on the pick obviously, but was NN going to resign as jojo's backup? uhhh probably not. so getting something for him makes sense. was this enough? i dont know.
Title: Re: 16-17 Sixers Season Thread
Post by: rjs246 on February 23, 2017, 12:07:49 PM
Yeah, it seems pretty clear that he wasn't going to resign as a backup so I guess getting something in return is better than the alternative. Still.
Title: Re: 16-17 Sixers Season Thread
Post by: ice grillin you on February 23, 2017, 12:08:46 PM
the decrease in protections definitely matters but if you are trading a big just to get rid of a big which it seems like thats what this is then you do that with jah cause he cant ever play with embiid and has no redeeming qualities where as nn is an elite defender

they should dealt jah for a box of rocks and resigned nerlens because he holds value and could be traded down the road at some point
Title: Re: 16-17 Sixers Season Thread
Post by: phattymatty on February 23, 2017, 12:09:35 PM
bogut is a pizzagate truther.

nerlens was my favorite player by far other than jojo and i'm surprisingly emotionless about this. guess most of us felt it coming. still surprised he went before jah tho.

but yes the protection on that pick next year is the biggest piece of this.
Title: Re: 16-17 Sixers Season Thread

i think you can make a case that he might be in the right spot...but the sixers in theory and if all goes well are going to be loaded with young talent that is going to require lots of money down the road and if nn ended being one of those players worth the money then things went terribly wrong with embiid and the draft picks...and thats not to even mention saric

lakers are not dropping out of the top 3 and really have very little chance of not finishing second

best case scenario for sixers is this finish

brooklyn
lakers
sixers
suns
kings

thats doable and would give them a more than realistic 45% chance of getting the lakers pick while also giving themselves essentially the same chance of getting the number one pick as brooklyn would have

i personally could go for two more years but this year is the end because of how good the draft is...next year and year after will be strictly rooting against the lakers and kings

thats how amazing hinkie magic is...next year (and this is obviously a huge if) if simmonds and embiid are healthy plus dario and this years 1 you are ready to take a huge step forward but also while you are taking steps forward the next two years you are also getting good lottery picks along with it.....its just a dream scenario...almost too many assets if thats possible

QuoteREPORT: SIXERS MADE A SIGNIFICANT TRADE OFFER FOR PACERS STAR PAUL GEORGE

By Corey Seidman | CSNPhilly.com March 21, 2017 1:45 PM

225

1 Comment

The top two available players at this season's trade deadline were Paul George and Jimmy Butler, two star wings on middling teams that would almost certainly be better off rebuilding.

Teams that have a boatload of young and future assets -- the Sixers, Celtics and Lakers -- were connected to George and Butler but no agreements were reached.

Thanks to Liberty Ballers, we now know a little bit more about the Sixers' offer.

According to the website, the Sixers offered the Pacers at least two first-round picks, Robert Covington and a young big (either Nerlens Noel or Jahlil Okafor) for George.

The Sixers have at least three extremely valuable future draft picks: their own 2017 pick, the Kings' unprotected 2019 first-rounder, and a pick from the Lakers, which is top-three protected this year and unprotected next year.

Say the Sixers traded the Pacers Noel, Covington, the Lakers pick and Kings pick. It would have left them with a nucleus of George, Joel Embiid, Ben Simmons, Dario Saric and whomever they take in the upcoming draft.

Not bad, not bad at all.

But also not enough to land George, apparently.

George, who grew up in Palmdale, California, and went to school at Fresno State, has been connected often to the Lakers. He's also made it clear he doesn't want to be traded to a team that depletes itself to acquire him -- think the Knicks and Nuggets with Carmelo Anthony.

The thing is, to acquire a player of George's caliber, the Sixers would be forfeiting significant assets without a guarantee that he re-signs when his contract expires after the 2017-18 season. (George has a player option for 2018-19 at $20.7 million but there's almost no chance he exercises it.)

Probably not worth it, especially considering the Cavaliers' current championship window in the East will last at least two more years.

But the Paul George trade talks aren't dead. Indiana will likely listen to offers again this offseason and possibly next trade deadline. 

There are few teams positioned to land a big fish like George and the Sixers are one of them. One major reason for maintaining salary cap flexibility and acquiring so many high draft picks is to parlay them into a superstar when the opportunity arises.

George's standing in the NBA has dropped ever-so-slightly the last few years and he is unlikely to make any of the three all-NBA teams, behind forwards LeBron James, Kawhi Leonard, Giannis Antetokounmpo, Kevin Durant, Draymond Green and Anthony Davis (unless Davis is counted as a center). 

But he's still obviously a superstar, one who also contributes at the defensive end. He's the kind of player you go all-in for when the timing is right.

Kings will end the night at 8 if all goes well, the Mavs are about to close out a victory, just need the Clippers to acquiesce and play a little bit. 10% chance at top 3.

Post by: rjs246 on April 13, 2017, 06:26:34 AM
So if I'm reading this right the sixers have a 47% chance of a top three pick (theirs or the Kings') and a 53% chance of getting the Lakers' pick. So they'll somehow get neither but still, nice job with the tank, team.

this is splitting hairs and im not even sure im correct on this but i think its 45% for a top 3 pick....because i dont think you can take the kings odds at the full amount cause in theory the sixers could get the second pick and the kings could get the third and therefore the kings pick wouldnt mean anything...but either way its 45-47%

lakers pick is 53%

first overall is 15% this is 3% better than it should be because of the kings

two top 5 picks is 40% which is an amazingly high percentage for the potential payoff

I ran all the probabilities. It agrees with MDS' chart.

Some more things:

- Overall the Sixers have a 8.6% chance of swapping with the Kings (including a 0.15% chance of sending them the #7 for the #1).
- There's a 2.4% chance the Sixers get both the #1 and #4

Odds of bad stuff:
- 54.7% to have no picks in the top 3
- 31.0% to have no picks in the top 4
- 3.8% to have no picks in the top 5
- They can't be stuck with only #7
- Worst case scenario of #6 only: 3.0%

Oh you mean the chance of any those things happening, all combined? Thought you were farging with me by asking what the odds of #1 overall was. It's gonna be pretty good odds to get at least one of those.

It's 30.5% to get stuck with one pick and have it fall outside the top 3, that's what I would consider a bad lottery night. 20.6% to have one pick and it's outside the top 4.

That is what you asked. Odds of getting either top 3 or a Laker pick is 100 - 30.5 = 69.5%. Getting two top 5 picks implies they got a Laker pick. And if the Sixers get the #1 overall, they are also in the top 3.

that happening and the pick being below four would be really bad

theres a whole bunch of different levels of joy or pain that could happen with all the possibilities but basically if anything happens where they get the #1 overall i will be peeing on my furniture

next level is those other things i mentioned and any of them would be parade worthy

then there would be status quo....you stay at four and dont get the lakers pick...i would be ok with this...of course a little disappointed but that would be washed away with the thought that at least it could have been a castarophe

which bring you to anything less than the above....this is murder suicide territory

Getting just a #4 will be worse than it sounds because it will mean the Cs and Lakers are picking top 3... if it was the Nuggets and Suns it would be more digestible.

I ran it pretty quick but it looks like 58.2% of either one happening. Obviously it's 53.1% just to get the Laker pick alone and there's a lot of overlap in those scenarios with the Sixers jumping them, so it doesn't bump it too much. Still, better than 50-50.

i dont care about the lakers at all and i hate the knicks more than the celtics plus the celtics cant pick lower than 4th anyway so im resigned to the fact that they are picking top 3...its not like if the celtics pick top 3 it means they moved from 9 up

in general tho the draft lottery is the one area of sports where i dont really care what happens as long as my team does great...i mean do i want any team from the sixers division picking high of course not but really there might as well not even be any other tams in the hopper...i only care about the sixers that night

everything is so doable that its beyond frightening...because if they somehow go backwards on lottery night (which obviously also has real possibility) it would be that much more painful...its much easier to root for them to make a jump that has low odds....all these scenarios are legit possible and its maddening....thanks a lot hinkie magic

Post by: QB Eagles on April 13, 2017, 12:50:12 PM
I didn't check it, but I think the Kings ended up in the optimal position for keeping their pick away from either the Sixers or the Bulls (who would get anything #11 or below). That's a masterfully specific tank job they pulled off considering how many other teams finished around the same record. Just being linked to Hinkie in the rumor mill, they got sprinkled with the magic.

10 - virtually no chance of it happening but dont want to see sacramento here
9 - dont want to see sacramento here
8 - if sacramento still hasnt shown and doesnt show here then they made the top 3
7 - lowest the sixers can pick, please god no
6 - first chance to see the lakers and mos def dont want to see the sixers here
5 - best chance to see the lakers outside of the top 3 (pray), dont want to see the sixers
4 - last chance for the lakers pick but a legit chance, please no sixers


by the time they get here all of the above will have explained how meaningful the top 3 is

like when does the ACTUAL ping pong ball thing happen. im sure it has by now...so like right now its happened and its over. all the hoping and praying is silly.. but its done in another room a little before the show. then 3 people leave the room and prepare the cards for tv. everyone else has to stay in the room without their phones until the show is over.

they pulled the sixers card twice once at 5 for their pick and once at 3 for the swap

they still have a surplus of assets and could get flutz if they want. or you take, likely jackson, and get a top 10 pick next year via the lakers pick and a top 5 pick in 19 via the kings.

I'm not disappointed because they upgraded from the straight chalk position. By no means blown away but what we got here is a mildly positive result.

Psychologically it was rough hearing Sac catapulted into the top 3 and to only get the 3 out of it, but I've calmed down about it. Without Hinkie magic they are sitting at 5 right now.

the lowry deal comes down to whether or not you think simmons can run the point....i just dont think you can put him at the 1. can you imagine him covering isaiah or kyrie?

im sure a lowry contract would look absurd to the naked eye but they are in a 3-4 year period where they can spend an insane amount of money and not have it hurt their chances to cake off simmons, embiid, dario, etc. down the line

and i for one do not want to watch tj farging mcconnell at the 1 next year

Simmons would rarely cover the other teams lead guard unless it was giannas...that's one of the things so appealing about him...he can be a lead guard who can lock down the other teams four...but can also easily hold his own switching on pnr's

Me either. If he dropped to 3 I'd explore trading back or just pass on him altogether.

Talking heads (local TV/Radio sports talk) seem to think Jackson is the clear cut pick at #3. I watch College ball and read up on all the prospects but I have no solid opinion of who they should take at 3.

yeah i like fox as a prospect but he would be as horrible a fit as you could get for the sixers

romey....lonzo is an excellent off the ball offensive player...hes not a guard who is going to or needs to pound the ball into the floor to suceed....in todays nba you gotta get positions out of your mind and look more towards style of play and fit

the reason i wouldnt host him is because the only reason he would do it is because he wants to show people hes not to good or above working out for teams....reason he turned down the celtics is because they pick before the lakers and could in theory take him if he has some phenomenal visit...a sixer workout and id still be suprised if he did it would be 100% a PR move

Well first of all he IS a point guard.  That's his best position.  He's not a 2 or a 3 or a hybrid.  He's a point.   I don't know why you're arguing that because he just is, but whatever.

Secondly, I wouldn't be surprised in the least if Magic says go farg yourself to the Ball circus.  He's not good enough of a prospect to deal with his idiot father.  I mean he's a damn fine player but this isn't LeBron outta high school or Magic coming out of college. 

And finally... I don't "hate" his idiot of a daddy.  I pity the kid for having to have to deal with trash like him.   By all accounts Lonzo is a decent kid and a hard worker.  I just hope for his sake he takes control of his life before the bloodsucking douche who fathered him ruins it for him.

Took my daughter to Disney last month. We were going to do a Niagara Falls trip late June but settled on a trip to the Jersey Shore. I asked her which shore she wanted to go to, she picked AC. We're staying at the Golden Nugget which has an awesome bar/restaurant/lounge area/pool/Jacuzzi on it's roof. It's perfect because I can get bombed by the pool while she swims. Boardwalk has great shops/restaurants/rides for kids and the Ripleys museum which she really wants to visit.  I booked our Disney trip through expedia but they messed up my room request so they gave me a $100 credit. We booked for two nights, GN was $80 a night on weekdays so one night was basically free. The price jumped to $400 Friday and Saturday nights.

So it's more of a cheap getaway than it is a vacation.

I don't think you can buy it separately. ESPN and the cable companies are both totally financially dependent on one another. A lot of people pay for cable just to get games on ESPN, and a lot of cable subscribers who couldn't give two shteins about sports are forced to pay a lot for ESPN because they can't unbundle it. Without being joined at the hip, both of them would lose a ton of money.

Occasionally there is some kind of weird package deal or students-only offer that lets you get ESPN without a cable TV package, but it's never something that would directly allow the bulk of cord-cutters to pay a few bucks and get ESPN. They are completely a cable subscriber-dependent organization.

The whole arrangement is getting creaky, which is why ESPN is downsizing.

i love it too. be surprised if LA took jackson but who knows.

lavar would be a hit at first...if lonzo winds up sucking and he still talks or he trashes embiid, the city, etc. itll get bad. most likely hell do a round of interviews after the draft, say some crazy shtein, then itll blow over and hell go away and itll be july and hot out.

thats not a terrible comparison but i think jacksons ceiling is significantly higher

imo hes more offensively gifted than iguodala was in college...neither could shoot but jackson is better in every other facet of the front court

i also think he has a higher ceiling as a defender and its well known how much ive loved iggy as a defender since day one on the sixers...igggy is straight line athletic...meaning hes an incredible square up on the ball defender but not elite at cutting off passing lanes going side to side on pnr's and things like that...to steal an nfl term jackson is more twitchy....for that reason and please dont think im saying he will be this guy in the nba...im just saying coming out of college he is a lot like kwahi

and i dont know this from watching him in college this is strictly what ive read and heard about him....his intangibles are supposedly off the chart in terms of work ethic leadership attitude etc...

taking jackson depends on two things...how much you value fit over player and if you think he will ever develop a shot...i dont know enough about his mechanics and if they can be changed and coached up to improve his shooting but i do know that its very rare for a terrible college shooter to become a good one in the pros and if he doesnt ever shoot then hes a really bad fit for the sixers
Title: Re: 16-17 Sixers Season Thread
Post by: Sgt PSN on June 15, 2017, 11:14:14 AM
I've seen a lot of Jackson. I love his overall game. His shot is def suspect but dude is a pure athlete.  He's a really good team guy and works his ass off on D.  And he don't take shtein from women, so that's a plus.

It's definitely a coin flip as to how well he'd mesh with the Sixers.  I wouldn't hate the pick at all, but I'd definitely prefer a player with less question marks in terms of shooting ability and compatability.

Either Ball or a trade for both 5 and 10 would have me jumping out of my seat with excitement. Otherwise they could still end up with a really good player at 3, even a perennial All Star, but I'm going to have more of a wait and see attitude about it.

I'm greedy and starved for good Philly sports, so give me excitement now please.

Couldn't care less about Ball's dad. What Lonzo does on the court is going to determine the success of his career, not any of the dumb media shtein. If Lonzo sucks in the NBA and his dad starts ripping the team and being a giant cancer, the main problem would still be that Lonzo sucks. You don't need a loud dad for that to be a problem.

so i think it would be incredibly stupid of boston, but let's pretend the rumor going around is true and they want to pick josh jackson at 1.

would you trade #3 and next years lakers pick back to the lakers to move up one to grab markelle?

basically either markelle or lonzo plus lakers pick next year?

I argued it would be a dumb move but the more I think about it I'd probably do it.

miracle situation you call the lakers bluff and wait until they draft lonzo 2 and markelle is still sitting there at 3. i would cream my pants. a man can dream.

There are limits to the picks the Sixers can deal for me to still feel great about the trade. The two unprotected high lottery picks in 2018 and 2019 would be highway robbery to move up 2 spots to take a guy who might not even be #1 on either the Celtics or Lakers board.

I already assume Embiid is basically Gronk. Dominant but too fragile to give real minutes before the playoffs. I can't think of him as the cornerstone of the Process anymore. If he surpasses that expectation, it's a bonus.

If Fultz develops some kind of degenerative ligament issue I give up.

Fultz wouldn't have gone into workout with No. 3 without assurance trade was agreed upon. Sides have been locked into deal for 24 hours.

Fultz wanted to be a Sixer bad.

i listen to a ton of nba podcasts but stopped listening/reading to bill simmons a long time ago, but i listened to his podcast this morning to get his take on the trade. he's kinda on the celtics may have lost but it'll probably turn into something better train, but most of all he couldn;t stop talking about how much he loves this sixers team right now. when you have bill simmons loving an eastern squad other than the Cs, you know the bandwagon is starting.
Title: Re: 16-17 Sixers Season Thread
Post by: ice grillin you on June 20, 2017, 09:34:09 AM
i think the celtics slightly won the trade but its like they get an A+ and the sixers get an A

as for the sixers team i dont see how you can be thru the roof about them until embiid proves he can play full seasons in the league and i see very little evidence that that will ever happen

i think its good that they have possibilities to fall back on thanks to the massive asset building hinkie did but its all about jo jo until and unless simmons proves to be a superstar

Quotei think the celtics slightly won the trade but its like they get an A+ and the sixers get an A


I'd probably flip it as I think the Sixers could and would have paid more but seems to be a win-win for both.  celtics land seems to be pretty unanimous that they got fleeced but I just don't see it. Good chance they get the guy they liked most still plus a high first.  although pick protections are pretty solid for sixers.
Title: Re: 16-17 Sixers Season Thread
Post by: ice grillin you on June 20, 2017, 11:07:25 AM
the fans of the team that gave up number 1 will always be more salty

i mean im ecstatic about the trade as ive been on fultz since his under 18 performance...not to mention and probably more importantly hes a perfect fit....but not everyone thinks hes the best prospect or even the second best prospect in this draft...and the ones who do think hes the best say its basically a draw btwn fultz jackson ball

so if you step back and judge the trade not from a personal standpoint or even a sixer or celtic perspective but just the fact that one team received a really good draft pick to basically flip a coin between which player will be better bwtn the number 1 pick and the number 3 pick then id give an advantage to that team....

the thing that makes it really close for me is that the sixers were in no mans land at 3 because they needed a player like markelle fultz for their roster...where as boston is fine with taking BPA there

Celtics fans are pissed, I think it has more to do with Ainge usually fleecing teams than it is looking at the trade rationally. They don't need Fultz, they like a guy at 3, and they got another top 5 pick in the deal to move back 2 spots.

Assuming Fultz is what he's being touted as I'm thrilled with the trade.

Yep.

Let's worship BryCo though

haha who here worships Colangelo? If anything it's a bunch of Hinkie lovers and one person (MDS) who hates baskteball all together yet somehow still talks about it.

I was skeptical for a long time on Colangelo but other than that terrible NN trade he hasn't done much wrong. And if he gets something good for Oak I'd say he is doing a fantastic job.

Reddick has had a longer, more prominent NBA career than I thought he'd have coming out of college.  $23 mil seems high but that's probably just me being old and remembering when MJ "only" got $20 mil a year.  1 year deal though and they have the cap space, so sure...why not?  And his tattoos are dreamy. And also this.

if he continues to play this kind of defense and the fans watch that end if the court they won't....I guess he's trying to dispel the notion that he doesn't give maximum effort in d cause he's been going all out these first two games

not sure if any of you used to listen to JJ's podcast on the vertical but i always enjoyed it, he's actually a very good interviewer. he stopped at the beginning of last year i think it was prob when the vertical was bought by yahoo.

anyway he started it back up again with the uninterrupted network and first ep dropped this morning. first 30 min is with maverick carter and last 20 with colangelo and it's farging excellent. very surprising about how honest they both were about the whole process.

definitely worth listening to. i can't farging wait for basketball season. also apparently a whole doc on JJ's free agency is coming out tomorrow too.

I bought Sixers tickets over the phone last year. So about a month ago I get a call from a Sixers rep trying to sell me tickets. I say I'm not interested, he starts this speal, I tell him I'm working and blow him off. He calls every few days for the next week or two. Finally I had enough and blocked his number. Now he's spamming my email every other day. So now I have his emails going to spam. I've never dealt with aggressive sales of this level before from any company.

Nope, not him. Just a punk lacrosse buddy. I've heard their IPAs are good. Never been able to get my hands on one down here.

I never really cared enough to ask since I have ready access to lots of good beer. But also it never occurred to me to ask. So maybe I'll just do that, smart guy.

I said it during both summer leagues but it's obvious watching for 30 seconds that Ben Simmons has "it".  Fultz is TBD.

No worries with Simmons, but Fultz is a concern. I know he's only a rookie and we've only seen him briefly in summer league and last night but he hasn't been impressive.
Title: Re: 16-17 Sixers Season Thread
Post by: ice grillin you on October 05, 2017, 07:51:44 AM
I assume you are talking about the overall player because Simmons shooting is a way bigger concern than fultz....Simmons literally shoots with the wrong hand
Title: Re: 16-17 Sixers Season Thread
Post by: SD on October 05, 2017, 09:07:33 AM
Yes the overall player, we all knew Simmons shooting was an issue. Talent is there, he improves his shot the skies the limit. Fultz on the other hand, doesn't play good D, isn't particularly fast, outside shot is average. Not seeing a huge upside.

Simmons is going to be great.  If he gets better at shooting he goes from all star to all nba.  I have zero concerns about it, it's just a matter of whether he can reach his ceiling or whether his shot prevents that.  His floor is absurdly high. 

Fultz....I watch a LOT of CBB but I didn't watch much UW.  I saw clips of him obviously but didn't see much live.  I watched summer league and last night.   I'm trying not to overreact but I don't really understand what he's supposed to do well.
Title: Re: 16-17 Sixers Season Thread
Post by: ice grillin you on October 05, 2017, 11:43:35 AM
fultz shoots the ball well...even has a very good mid range game which is almost unheard of in todays nba

hes also a very cerebral player and excellent passer....he should be close to an elite pick n roll player....the concern is that he isnt overly athletic and is probably going to have a tough time finishing at the rim in the league

this by the way is another simmons concern...he isnt very athletic either...he has incredible skills for his size but isnt a super duper athlete...in fact he was prettyy bad finishing at the rim in college....but at least he has the size....fultz is 6'4 and cant jump

i just want to watch ben shoot a 3 once in a game. he might average more assists than points this year.

Post by: ice grillin you on October 05, 2017, 12:12:36 PM
i just dont get how when hes farging around after practice trying to hit three quarter court length shots he does it with his right hand....he dunks with his right hand he almost always trys to finish with his right hand but he shoots free throws and jumpers with his left hand.....ive never seen anything like it...the guy is obviously right handed

Ben's form seems fine to me.  It's not hideous.  Not sure why he struggles so much with it.

just youtube highlites of him...or watch the videos beat writers post from practices....its so obvious

i don't disagree with you.

i don't want to be the party pooper here but it sure seems like the whole core spends more time practicing half court shots than real shots. or hopefully those shots are just more fun to show on youtube.

i think they just take on a super goofy attitude feeding off jo jo...and messing around a lot in practice is an extension of that

but i havent seen anything that would make you believe they dont work hard or dont take shtein seriously and BB seems to like them a lot
