5 minutes in embiid looks like a cement foot stiff

jojo with a nice spin move and hits
then on the other end he blocks brown
then he hits 20 footer

Bovada's poker was bought out by someone but they still have sportsbook.

Oh my god whose drunk uncle was that giving Westbrook the double middle finger
All up on ESPN

No doubt.

the dude (gray hair, glasses) above mr. double bird is jack mccaffery, legend of delco sports. thats where i sit when i cover sixers game...in between real reporters d bodner and tom moore -- both nice dudes
Jack Mac...does he still do shifts on the people's station?
You covering any this year?
i think he does some wack ass station in bucks county or something
i imagine ill get a game here or there with their staffing issues being what they are but theres no guarantee and the schedule is set week to week...so who knows
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.
What a zesty foul call

I used to enjoy his shows on WIP
I didn't realize they put you guys behind the baskets I thought all press was center court
they havent been on center court for a while....why give the good seats away for free when you charge a grand+ for them
certain set ups do put them center court (ncaas) but the nba long ago smartly decided to give the people the best seats
It won't last but it feels so good to have players that can make shots.
Huh yeah I just assumed they all sat at the scorers table and behind
Jasner the goat had a seat there. Was that bc he was a legend?
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
Sauce is on fire tonight
Yeah Sauce has played well
Watching how fun this already is makes me even angrier Simmons got hurt.
so joel embiid might wind up being more beloved than AI
http://deadspin.com/singer-claims-sixers-prevented-her-from-performing-nati-1788265603
thats 1000% patrick bateman clone scott oneills work
I thought he was pretty cool - but if it's him then he should be ripped
And these dudes jacking threes up...stop.
Jojo!
is what it is in these close and late situations....dont have the talent to score here
maybe benji?
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
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.
He's gonna be like Anthony Davis
Who dropped a fifty piece tonight
the double bird fan wasnt delco....he was south jerzz!
sometimes its the 2nd guess
Embiid is the truth. And I can't get enough of his personality. I think we all knew it. It's just about keeping healthy.

Oh, that's right... PHILLY.

OUT
you arent allowed to watch them this year anyway...
i will certainly not be watching that game
you should be on probation for every year you hated hinkie magic....which was three....re-apply in 2019 when they have the number one overall pick from sacramento
hinkie magic is the gift that keeps on giving
lol....so that dude telling matty and myself we should go to the opener was someone else?
i just wanted someone to ride the train with me
better step out on that man son!
gets the tip, 3 pointer, cherry pick. so smooth.
i get creamy thinking abut these guys. feels so good to have some shooters.
Dudes with man buns shouldn't be taking people to the hole

and....2-14 since then.
5/20 shooting in the second
Poor shot selection galore
not good that henderson the veteran looks more clueless than anyone on the court.
embiid has played like 25 min. of professional basketball and he's far and away the smartest guy on the team.
Agreed on Henderson
Tank 3.0
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
I have All the faith in Colangelo to do so
hes done it well before....and this time even you could do it...everything is their to acquire what you need...just gotta go about doing it
I just don't trust him to not spend on stupid contracts for undeserving mediocre players
But yes they do need a wing who is explosive. Any ideas as to who they can target?
they need to get markelle fultz in the worst way...hes not a wing but he can break a defense the farg down

i'm still undecided on colangelo because i am an admitted member of the hinkie cult. but where is this history of over-paying for mediocre free agents that you keep talking about.
there isnt one....hes like a trillion other veteran gms...his resume includes good moves and bad moves...i have no idea where j came up with this narrative...i think he will be fine not because i think hes some awesome gm but because hinkie has set the table so well that it will be hard to completely farg up
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
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.
your paranoia of colangelo breaking the bank on mediocre players is like a trumpkin thinking hillary is coming for their guns....ITS NOT HAPPENING
i mean it could happen but jays hysteria over it is completely delusional and unfounded

hes just another gm...as far as he goes there is nothing to get excited about whether in a positive or negative way

What's funny is it I liked Colangelo or thought he'd do well I'd be home ring it up
take second to think about why that might be and then get back to me with your answer
Answer: no idea
arent the sixers below the salary floor? and also like 5-6 years away from even being a destination for an all-star type player?
so even if colangelo did what j and only j is insistent he will, would it make a difference?
I'll remember this when he dishes out bad deals
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
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
Quote from: PhillyPhreak54 on October 29, 2016, 08:54:23 PM
It's so hard to shed your books of bad deals.
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

all the guy did for 3 years was trade for 2nd round picks and pluck nobodys from the waiver wire....the result was....robert covington?
you and i couldve drafted jojo or jah. nn = meh. mcw = garbage (but cut bait and solid high). dario = tba

I don't like the GM who got the job bc of his pops and a coup on Hinkie and I'm a lousy fan lololol

im not going to dig up posts but the amount of laughably wrong or uneducated things youve said over the years is extensive
but im not going to argue about it....you can be hubie brown for all i care
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.

not even close to dreadful...you are confusing the player with the pick....but even if the pick was awful thats one
http://www.basketball-reference.com/executives/hinkisa99x.html
i have no problem if you want to say the jury is out on his player evaluation or you dont know if he is better suited than coangelo to go forward with the team....shtein i said this very thing in this thread today so im hardly a hinkie apologist but to say he was dreadful in player evaluation is to be out of your mind and at least equivalent to saying that coangelo is going to torpedo the franchise
dreadful is perhaps me just using hyperbole (you wouldnt know anything about that)....but the dude didnt have it as a gm
lol that might be even more hyperbolic...he was farging brilliant in his time here
he was brilliant manipulating the market but NOT GOOD (or just dreadful) on selecting talent....he was insulting personality wise and more of an anti social Asperger basket case than chip
you keep saying that but have zero evidence...just say you didnt like him and leave it at that
of course i dont like him
all the evidence i need of him being lost on picking players is him coming up empty handed on the 1000 2nd rd picks and waiver pick ups he had. now hes lying about teaching a class at stanford.
but damn did he molest vlade on that kings trade
He turned the 11th overall pick in an all time bad draft into the upcoming lakers pick and that's your example of a dreadful selection?

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
That is a good point...Grant and Holmes were great hits.
I think Holmes is going to be a solid player.
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
Not sure the point of moving him for a forward
hard to question it yet until we know the conditions on the pick
jeez...not sure I like this.
I'll refrain from ripping Colangelo for now
Fulfills the roster's Turkey requirement I guess
Someone on WIP is saying protected 1st rounder and that Ilyasova may be waived
hes on an expiring contract so that wouldnt be surprising but either way hes gone after this season....
this was basically to start weeding out the front court log jam and while i liked grant hes has no position in the nba...unless he develops a shot his ceiling is as a deep rotation defensive energy guy off the bench
Bodner says that they did it to improve floor spacing and that they will keep him.
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.
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
so if it's 2 2nds they would be in 2021 and 2022? or 2022 and 2023? lol
I wouldn't have made the trade and don't like it but hard to get too upset over jerami grant...illasova is a horrid defender and Jerami one of their only good ones...when jo jo isn't on the court my god are they going to be bad on that end

yeah i'm not steaming over it or anything just seems like a strange time. jerami was actually looking better this year. i guess maybe they decided to sell high.

i just turned on the game and saw matt cord looking like a douche with a flat brim hat (youre like 50, bro) and tj mcconnell playing the final seconds and committing a flagrant
go. team.
most sixers loss ever.
Your last play can't be give the ball to Jo covered at the 3 pt line. If he's open, great, or give it to him covered on the block but can't tell him to beat someone off the dribble from outside the arc.

What a tool. Even if Simmons got paid for that, he's still not making money off the NCAA. He have been pain by the people making the doc. It'd be no different than having a p/t job at Mike D's.

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
damn oak coming off the bench even with no joel.
Ersan already with a better shot than jerami ever had.
Ersan is the second best player on the team. farging bums.
Third quarter problems again.
Seems like this is a yearly thing for them
i said it yesterday after the trade how bad the defense would be without embiid but holy shtein is it something to watch happen
illysova
el chacho
covey
henderson
saric
thats gotta be an all time worst defensive team to ever be on a court together in an nba game
i am unreasonably mad at how terrible covington is this year. what a mess.
hes proven to be a dead average nba 3 point shooter....you have to believe hes going to come back to that number
Simmons doc is/was tonight. Forgot about it.
I didn't see the game bc I fell asleep after I got home but see that they lost another close one
Saw video of Jojo's block on Lebron...nice
Wonder why Richaun didn't play?
probably because he sucks

That didn't stop the rest of the team.
Sixers are whiter than Utah.
the thing that makes me most angry in my entire sports fan life is ET over favors and boogie.
jo jo is averaging 40 13 6 per 100.....hasnt been done since 1973
Sixers going for back-to-back #1s?
just waiting till simmons comes back to win their 1st game. then, its on !!
got company tix to the game Friday night. catered luxury suite for free ?

Jojo is the farging truth

Jojo is the farging truth
He makes me question my sexuality (I stole that joke from sunny)
Nice first win coming up here
Spoke too soon, they're about to blow it
My god
What the farg
There's not a more talented athlete in the city than Embiid. God damn was he worth the wait.
Yeah he's a farging beast. And he's charismatic so he will own the city while dominating the NBA
Hallelujah a win.
If only they'd drafted exum
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.
I'm assuming no Jo tonight?
i dont even think he made the trip
He's not playing tonight but will play Monday in Houston.
Trying to move meetings around so I can go check them out
sixers gonna beat the wiz tonight. without the GOAT.
bunch of white nerds hitting 3s so far.
also this shirt came in the mail today.

They didn't blow it, win #2 in the books
bad bad win
Stop it. Just like last year a win here and there is not going to make a difference.
Kat vs Jojo gonna be fun tonight.
if they upset some really good team in a really good game i can see liking it but they beat garbage in a garbage game
with the lakers looking solid the sixer pick means more than ever...lose lose lose
Okafor is so utterly useless.
Down by almost 30...Jesus
jojo is obviously gonna be great but other than him this team is somehow worse than last year if that's even possible.
brett is terrible also.
they are supposed to stink this year...that said last night was a tough spot for even some good teams...having to fly from philly wed nite for a back to back in minnesota who hadnt played in two days and whohadnt even travelled in almost ten days...if they didnt get blown out i would have been disappointed
jo jo out of his mind right now

just let him play a few more minutes he's gonna be resting for like 4 days.
mad flop by ersan.
thats why gasol is screaming at him again....and lol at ala thinking unless you are from the us you dont speak english
yeah ersan is flopping on every play. couple wins and alaa has gone straight homer.
stil dont need a three
wtf is ala talking about....if staukus hits that shot is it the farthest thing possible from "futile"

Quote"We are the second-rated defensive team in the NBA when he's on the floor. We go to 30th when he's not. Just using that as an example makes your head spin a little bit. You can talk about defense, you can talk about offense. Those extra four minutes are significant in my eyes."
- Brett Brown on Joel Embiid
guess whos guarding the basket when hes not on the floor....one try
no one
just checked out this site for the first time since last year and my first sim was sixers with fultz at 1 and monk with lakers pick at 12. boner.
http://www.tankathon.com/mock_draft
Embiid played what, 9 minutes that half? Weird. Never picked up his third.
brett is garbage.
Yeah...when you can't execute an inbounds with 14 seconds left...
yeah i really did like brett and still think he was a great fit for a group of young guys but he's got to go.
when you consistently lose really close games it falls just as much on the coach as the players.
his substitutions are dumb, his play calling has been atrocious and it's time to bring in someone who may be here for the good times ahead.
There's something about Brett that's very likeable and he's a good fit for the city. It's hard to judge anyone based upon the talent they've had since he arrived, but some of his decisions this year have been perplexing.
they don't have one guy who can create with the ball...makes it kind of difficult to draw up plays in close games. hopefully simmons will be that guy.
at one point last night, they had holmes, 3 white guys, & a frenchman on the court at the same time. you try coaching that.

such a glut of talented big guys than richaun holmes is the only 5 tonight.
this ones gonna be even uglier than usual.
first road win in almost a year coming up
joel staring down the brow is awesome.
i hate how illy flops but he's exactly what this team needs.
and dario is beasting the last 2 games.
god i wish benny was playing.
also zumoff saying the homie is farging great.
Ersan would be useful for a good team as an instant offense option off the bench. Can play O.
Yeah I hate the way he flops but I like everything else. Could be a perfect compliment to ben and joel. I don't know what his contract is but would like to keep him if possible.
yeah he has to be moved at the deadline ....normally you can get something decent from a contender as almost everyone needs shooters
the problem is this year only two teams are contenders so there won't be the normal market if there's much of one at all
he has to be moved because of contract or just to make moves?
because we need shooters.
EVEN THOUGH SAUCE IS BACK BABY

we should trade him at the deadline than sign him over the summer. that'd be ill. illy. a-yo.

I know you all don't give a farg but lakers have lost six in a row and im beside myself as to whether this is good or bad

he's right and this has gotten embarrassing
for many reasons okafor is the worst philly athelete ever
Brown said no NN today unless someone is in foul trouble
Stupid. Okafor should be sitting
The Process was a one man wrecking crew tonight.
This center situation is dumb. Okafor has no meaningful future here. Dump him for what you can get. Shame they spent third pick on him but don't spend good money chasing bad. It's a sunk cost. Play Noel. He may not be around long term but he can at least be a top level defensive specialist.
hindsight is 20/20, but porzingis.

Thought it was odd last night when NN got the standing O when he came in. Heard some talk show hosts talking about it today...like what motivated Sixers fans to cheer him. Few people called in and said it was a mock standing O. But from what I saw he got a legitimate standing O.

because they all know he should be playing
I personally think it was a mock cheer of JC as much as it was a cheer for nn
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.

These are probably the same simpletons who thought Jason Babin was a great DE because he had like 18 sacks one year but were completely oblivious to how totally inept he was on the other 900 snaps he was on the field for.
Hearing Babin's name has triggered me. Hate that dude.
its ridiculous how much better the spacing is without jah...even hollis is knocking own some open threes
how bad is the nuggs defense?
sixers are a terrible team on a back to back with eight players and scored 60 in the 1H
That's an embarrassingly bad foul call
terrible win
classic philly sports night....sixers win and flyers will lose
everyone on this team is so farging dumb down the stretch.
He's great, but I'd like to see Jo's stats last 5 mins of games. His turnover rate has to be obscene.
Molly asking Covington if he heard the fans boos. Covey said "these fans can boo all they want I'm still gonna go out there and give it my best". What a stupid question.
cant pretend to have watched a ton of the last 3 tanks, but bb might be a bad coach? or he might be good
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.

Quote from: MDS on January 03, 2017, 10:55:25 PM

lol
hes played 20 games of basketball in the last three years....i would like to think he hasnt hit his ceiling 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?
also i knew the game got out of hand when okafor came in but I didn't realize it was a 17-2 run. can't wait for him to be gone.

check yourself and slow your roll on him, son. YOU have been hyping him.
hes their third string point guard...just because the two guys ahead of him are hurt doesnt mean he automatically needs to be put on the floor in a crucial situation...in short he sucks....and its laughable to criticize the coach for not having tj mconnell on the floor at any particular time
and you have me confused with someone....im not the one wondering if jo jo is "there yet" after playing 20 games in the last three years...im the one that is just happy he is on the floor....im the also the one that expects him to get hurt friday and never play again

i disagree. not necessarily bc he didn't have a pg on the court, because yes TJ does indeed blow, but at how clueless everyone else was without tj/sergio/bayless handling the ball. this whole team has no awareness on the court at all.
tj is clueless and cant penetrate or shoot
he reminds me of the kid in middle school gym class whose crotch you could see when everyone was sitting indian style during attendance
where'd you go to middle school ??? :paranoid
of all things to be reminded of by mconnell. that's what popped in igy's head.
He's no ish smith.

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.
I'm down for straight up cutting him
he's that much of a negative
it's just a shame you are getting no return for a third overall pick
hinkie taking him over porzingis and mcw over the greak freak are why hes a silicon valley dork and not in the nba
Sam Bowie 20/20 vision is neat
its literally his job to pick good players in the draft
it's every gm's job in every sport
thanks
so hinkie should get a pass for picking the wrong players
no gm has ever picked every right player
not even Ozzie
besides embiid....which was the most obvious pick in the world...who did he pick correctly?
he never made a bad move other than jah...im a hinkie guy but ive always said if you are a next level thinker you take the unicorn...but because hes a nerd he took the asset over the best player

tj mconnell should not be grilling anyone or anything ever...get excited for a second if you want...then be happy youre in the league...compare his reaction after a meaningless (actually super hurtful but i cant blame them for wanting to win) nba game winner to kris jenkins after winning the national championship
even wifey while watching it was like what the hell is he doing when he started running down the court afterwards
let the kid be happy...he hit a big shot. his teammates seem to love him & they were probably more excited than he was. this is a super-likable team...enjoy it.
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
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.

the irony in all this is the biggest hinkie bots ever are all into them now...im like you farging traitorous hypocrites...i can sort of live with wins if simmonds was playing and dario was tearing it up....but i cant take watching fargsticks like tj mconnel and illyasova get meaningless wins
and i couldnt care less that they enjoy each others company since most of them wont even be on a team together in a few years

:-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.

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.

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.
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
embiid being held out of practice. sprained left foot.

sixers are 6.5 back of the bullets and can be 5.5 with a win tomorrow

Pretty sure you wanted Mcbuckets over Saric too. You never trusted the process. Hinkie died for you sins. You deserve to be ridiculed.

"where are they now" - the sixers tank roster episode.

igy should narrate it.
The Process very well could be documentary material in 20 or 30 years, especially if JoJo leads this team to a chip.
that would be awesome, especially when they get to the part about the four championships.

exum stinks but mcbuckets isnt a bad player at all.

I'm not sure why you, or anyone else (eskin) were so insulted. fact is, the process got the team to this point.

i was critical of it from a PR standpoint....they were in the middle of the tank and they traded the 1 player who people knew for ANOTHER future draft pick. i think that was the lakers pick or was that their own pick? it was a terrible look and hinkie was typically smug and dismissive.
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.

It was for the Lakers pick and lol at from a PR standpoint. Hinkie was so popular because fans were tired of being a borderline playoff team so he rebuilt the team from the ground up. It's been a few years but I don't recall there being PR outrage over that trade.
you don't have to like the method, but respect the results we are seeing to this point.

Huh? Hinkie was pretty open and upfront about The Process from Day 1. Everyone knew it was going to be a multi-year tank and rebuild.

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.

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
farg that they're fun to watch again. I'm all in on 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.
I'm honestly fine either way but making the playoffs and still getting a top 10 pick from the Kings would be the best case scenario.
Playoffs or bust.
Let's gooooo. Havas will be IN eventually
if they make the playoffs - they wont - they need to face boston
farg boston
thats cause you guys dont live and die with the sixers...when you dont its easy to say i dont care what happens this year or they should try and make the playoffs...if this was the eagles or whoever your favorite team is you would be singing a very different tune
can you finally admit the sixers are your favorite team
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
mostly people are sick of them tanking and are just happy theyre watchable...embiid also has the city eating out of his hand so if he says playoffs everyone jumps too
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

Can you really blame anyone for getting excited at this point?
He's just miserable. I get it. This is a deep draft in position the Sixers need. But there's an alternative he doesn't want to embrace.
Plus today is the inauguration.
So lets give him a break.

the process doesn't stop cause they won a few games...they are years away from competeing for a championship and this draft is cttical in getting them there...so yes I can blame people for not caring about this years draft because they won some stupid game against Toronto...be happy Embiid has not gotten hurt yet...that and losses are the only things that matter this year

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.
igy is right about insufferable fans though. last game i was at some jabroni kept yelling trust the process and then when richaun came in, he loudly asked who the hell is that.
Lets just take half of Sixers fans and put them in, what I like to call, the basket of insufferables.
im going to watch the game tonight. I might crack a smile if they win, but I swear, it will only last a 1/2 a second.
Meh, word on the street is that you were already insufferable, so go ahead and make it a full second. Not gonna hurt your rep any.
might as well grow an ironic beard while you're at it.
I was thinking more along the lines of going with a euro trash look.
my god is sergio painful to watch....him and dario gotta be both be about a minus 100
Dario has been brutal
unfarging real
Hipsters be going crazy

Ok this is getting a little ridiculous.
okafor starting tonight!!
Keep starting him. Maybe he catches someone's eye. The losses won't hurt either.
6'11 260 played 30 minutes last night and had 4 rebounds
he hit a few shots from the elbow though....im thinking he had enough value to trade for something

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?

well that certainly was unexpected. turned off the game down by 19 and no jojo only to turn back on in the 4th up by 5.
i'm want to get rid of jahlil as soon as humanly possible. he'll still be a 20 pt a night scorer in the league. just need a team that needs a slow unathletic center to ruin them.

should also mention it's crucial to stay as high as you can so that if you wanna package some of yoyr million assets to move up the cost will be much less....maybe if you get 7 just jah and a future protected 1 gets you to 5 whereas 9/10 to seven will be exponentially more
I'm going Friday. I'm rooting for a win
:crazy
I wonder if Hinkie strokes himself while watching these games
he despises it cause he knows the process isn't near over as does every intelligent basketball fan
again if beating Milwaukee tonite floats your boat I can't blame anyone...and I totally understand as wanting them to win when he's there....I don't agree with the thinking and it infuriates me but it's a fact that most people like wins no matter how meaningless they are...hoeever if you actually think it's a good thing or my god that hinkie magic is gloating over this then you are HOF stupid
the process can suck my meatcicle
WINS I WANT WINS
again most fans do...but most sports fans are and always have been morons
what's really scary is that Philly is right up there as being the most intelligent fans and probably 60% are still idiots
if you can for the 4th straight year get your pants wet for lotto balls and losses and maybe decent college players then good on you
im sick of it...they have embiid, simmons, cap space and assets. theyre going to be talented enough to win a chip whenever they get ready for that. winning is good. winning is fun. raise the cat you cranky czech.
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.
it's as if, this team is purposely trying to farg with igy.

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

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.
i get being at a game and getting caught up...i mean if i went to a game i would even cheer btwn the first and last whistles...its impossible not to...but otherwise LOSE

close your eyes and without jerking your junk try and imagine the sixers going forward with markell fultz or DSJR
tried but jerked it.
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
waterboarding works. according to many in cyber and intelligence.
im not really rooting for anything...just enjoying the games
if they win, great. if they lose, great. cant go wrong no matter what happens. basketball is fun again in philadelphia.
TJ gonna punch pat bev in the face tonight. watch.
this is the perfect game so far....jo jo big night and sixers get run out the building
What a horrible call.
this might be one game where the sixers are better with nn on the floor than jo jo just because nn is about the only off the ball defender who can even dream about slowing houstons pnr

I was wondering the same thing. Only thing I could think of is that maybe there's a couple players at the game and the Sixers were acknowledging them. No clue other than that.
That was legit ball movement after the Dario block.
ive seen a million games with eagle players there where they didnt pump it in over the house system...i feel like its eagles night at the game or something

Not sure why they'd have that after the season though.

This game has been full of some of the ugliest and dumbest turnovers I've seen in quite some time. Ill advised passes all around.

I'd love to see jrue come back, but i don't know that you want to rely on him staying healthy for the entire season.
allen is not wearing skinny jeans you farg.
i want to start a petition that as hard as kevin hart tries he can not be the sixers "celeb" once the dynasty starts.
i love me some jeru but they dont need that kind of guard...he works off hesitation and angles...they need a G/wing that can explode off the dribble and break down a defense and/or can shoot
harden has two 50 pt triple doubles in the last month
the league has gone 36 years without any of them
also it makes no sense. i love jrue too but there is a 90% chance they get one of fultz, dsj, lonzo or even fox in the draft. tanked this long for this exact reason. don't give up a bunch of shtein now.

zero chance. false.
and i wouldn't do TJ for mcrae either. jordan mcrae is straight trash not to mention sixers have already had him several times. no reason to make cleveland better just to be nice. TJ is growing on me. he can stick around as the 3rd PG.
jo jo out again against Sacramento of all teams....tanky tanky
looks like doubtful for the two games in tx also.
hopefully they're just pumping the brakes and he's not still hurtin.

the boxscore showed okafor with 9 rebounds. was that a typo ?
Sixers supposedly in trade talks that would send Jah to NOLA.

QuoteKeith Smith ✔ @KeithSmithNBA
Source: PHI/NOP trade is close. Deal is expected to include Ajinca & a protected 1st to PHI and Okafor to NOP. Could be done today.
so jah went from 3rd best prospect to netting a non lotto 1st rounder packaged with a salary dump...and hes going to a team where he's going to be a farging back up
great pick hinkie!
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.
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.
Porzongis' agent definitely got him into a better situation.
Quote@JeffZillgitt
One nugget I can add to Jahlil Okafor story: Multiple teams interested in him. 76ers not rushing into deal unless they get what they want.
is there any evidence hinkie wanted porzingis? i know he wanted to talk to him...wow!! if he wanted to take him, he couldve. but theres a damn good reason his agent did everything he could to make sure that wouldnt happen.
i mean hinkie failed at cultivating relationships and was mediocre at best at talent evaluation. so sad to see him go. have fun taking meets in sillicon valley you anti social geek.
you are to the sixers, what romey is to the eagles.
sixers without mr glass jojo embiid giving the spurs a game
if you call never having a single lead and at no time having a legit chance to win "a game"

why tank when the best pg in the nba is on your team already

ok, I laughed at that one.
JoJo has a partially torn meniscus. This is a good thing because (a) it poses no long term threat, (b) Jah gets more run and can hopefully increase his trade value, and (c) this should help get this team back on track towards a high draft pick.
*Edit* Starting on Monday?
bad win
everything gone to shtein since hinkie magic left
http://www.phillyvoice.com/reports-sixers-ownership-pressured-sam-hinkie-take-jahlil-okafor-over-kristaps-porzingis/
so, is okafor getting traded or what ?
Last I heard, the Bulls were trying to make a separate trade that would get them another 1st round pick, which they would then use as part of a deal for Jah. Chicago currently has their own pick and a top 10 protected pick from Sactown.
Embiid just took his legendary status up a notch
http://www.csnphilly.com/the700level/joel-embiid-appears-have-found-himself-valentine
sixers would be beating anyone right now buts celts shooting lights out.
really interesting venture for bodner. he does a nice job -- better than pompey and boco -- and was a nice dude when i covered a few games
https://www.patreon.com/derekbodner
is he going to be credentialed because giving
money to a blogger seems like the dumbest thing ever
i think hes trying, id figure he will....but ill give him my hard earned $3 in hopes this works. i think its a great idea and want to see more things like it.
but yes if hes not credentialed then it wont work and ill stop paying
he's a very good writer he just has zero takes on the sixers that aren't obvious.....he needs inside info to deserve money
he broke the embiid torn miniscus news
and i agree...he needs to give you something you dont know. i know you pay for papers and whatnot so youre not the problem but nobody pays for news. so even its 500 people, at least theyre paying for news.

The pick would have been top 20 protected. Pass.
if the pellies had no interest in boogie, then i would do it. id take anything for okafor...hes total garbage.
but considering rejecting the trade in turn wound up making sactown significantly worse, then of course praise colangelo magic

Yeah, from what I've seen that was the one thing Philly and NOLA couldn't agree on. Not mad about that deal falling through at all, especially give the way everything has turned out.

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.
High school rjs doesn't understand that sentence.

good riddance ersan
sixers have 14 second rounders in the next 5 drafts.
i actually thought ersan could have been a solid piece but whatever i hated how flopped so see ya shteinhead.
bye bye nn
this farging pick better have some light protection
1-18....not farging good enough obviously...i wonder what it will be next year
And they took Bogut
Bleh
where is bogut contract wise ?
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.
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.
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
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.
Stupid trade. The 1st they get in return is top 18 protected.

Quote from: ice grillin you on February 23, 2017, 12:08:46 PM

sure, but does nerlens wants to resign and be joel's backup? in a perfect world it would be great to have him as an insurance policy, and hey, maybe he can play the 4 in certain situations, but was that actually going to happen?
so now trying to trade bogut before offering a buyout.

I don't get this.
nn is not a starting NBA center...if jo jo goes down they are toast with nn or without him...hes an elite defensive player who would be a great piece to have on a championship team which the sixers are nowhere near being...sixers future is dependent on embiids health how good Simmons is and their next three number one picks...I loved nn and wish they still had him but the hysteria over him being traded is ludicrous....you'd think they just traded Charles Barkley or some shtein
he is and will be a starting center in the league starting in a few days.
and people are mad that their favorite player was just traded? craziness.
the sixers led their press release about the trade with the first round pick
ummmmmmm no
Yeah, I don't see how he's not a starting caliber center. He's doesn't have much of an offensive game but his defense alone is enough to warrant a starting gig in this league. It really can't be overstated how hard it is to be an elite defender in the paint in an era where the rules so heavily favor offense.
I'm slightly excited to see Holmes get more pt.
Some talking heads seem to be excited with Anderson. I haven't watched any Mavs games this season so I'll reserve judgement
nn is not an elite defender in the paint...he's an elite defender in space and just ok at the rim
Anderson is a shot away from being a very good three and D guy...whether he ever develops one no one knows...if nothing else he is a great dunker and will get you out your seat at times
root for teams not players
let people grieve for one day you farg. nerlens had my heart and now he's gone. you bitch all season long and now people bitchin for one night and you're mister calm.
but yeah i'm not mad at anderson, not his fault. kinda excited to see what he can do with some minutes.
also somehow the sixers have more centers after all of this. older, worse centers. i know they won't be here long but still kinda funny.
QuoteJohn Barchard
Hearing that Simmons CT scan didn't go as planned today and his season is very much in doubt #Sixers
No idea who this is but blah.
win win imo
zero reason to play him this year and it also helps the pick
yeah, sit simmons...sit embiid. just tank it out the rest of this season...not like they're going anywhere.
on the noel trade...this is what happens when you draft 3 centers in a league that doesn't value centers...you get crap in return.
the worst part of yesterday isnt even trading nn its that they still have jah...if they had gotten rid of jah i would have been ok with the deadline results
hopefully they can move jah this offseason...he's a bad fit & infuriating to watch play. but let him pad some stats for the rest of this season to help his trade value.
this presser is hard to listen to

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
no jo no nn so jah really came out on fire
They have a temporary power outage at the WFC? My screen went blank for a few minutes, then a commercial came on, then I heard Barkann and Dei talking but they didn't know they were on the air. Barkann mentioned the lights going out at the WFC.

holy shtein they got bailed out on that oubre call
jah had a -9 and had 2 rebounds in 22 minutes
what is the point of him
i'm already over nerlens. kinda wanted to see justin get on the court when they were up by 21.

I'm amazed that the Sixers are still dreadful after all this and it doesn't look like they're getting any better any time soon with the Colangelos running the personnel department like the three stooges.
you are aware that the higher the pick the lower the margin of error?
and that's any draft this draft in particular is so strong that it would be impossible to farg up a top 5 pick

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
oh and root really hard for orlando and dc tonight
Worst win in franchise history
id be mad but theres zero chance the lakers dont finish bottom three much less finish with more wins than the sixers...lakers are locked into the two spot

by far the biggest game of the year thus far
100% chance sixers win.
Orlando is giving a laker type effort...it's crazy how much they don't care so you can't really blame the sixers but that doesn't explain an inexcusable three wins in a row
all the way down to three!!
get that rats nest off your skull.
these clutch threes are maddening
luckily we have sauce to even it out.
brett brown about to call the off the leg inbounds play.
great game.
Clutch loss
that was the difference btwn 4 and 7
how long can you keep doing this for
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
yep...all that & to a much, much lesser degree, bayless. although i didn't get to see enough of him to figure out where he'll fit in. gotta be better than sergio though.
playoffs next season.
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.
Interesting.
I wouldn't have hated it. I'd prefer to keep RoCo though.

if they somehow find a way to lose this i will be very impressed.

You're probably right
no it's hilarious cause he had a disappointing college career and no one in the world loved him in college....not even Kentucky fans

but I'm not watching it anyway as these NBA games are too big and you can't properly switch with mlbtv
no the csn one....the phillies are blacked out on mlbtv for me
oh right
night not going to end well...Detroit is on a massive run
what are the odds difference for 4th tied and 4th by itself
seems pretty big right about now
I believe it's 17 ping pong balls
both games tied
magic hold on for the W!!
forget the lottery implications this sixer game has been crazy fun
4!!
Never doubted for a second, no team has this much tanking experience.
lock n load number four son!!
what a turnaround in both games those last four minutes
mavs moving into a tie with sac as well....kings loss would be a nice little finish to this year's tank. but im not worried, theres always next year
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.
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
chart

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%
qb could you figure out what the % chance of just one of the following happening is?
sixers get a top 3 pick
sixers get lakers pick
sixers get first overall pick
sixers get two top 5 picks
Quote from: ice grillin you on April 13, 2017, 11:09:32 AM
sixers get first overall pick
Can't figure it out, math is too complicated
well whatever it is thats the % chance that i will be happy on lottery night.....i just need one those and im good
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.
right....the % chance that just one of those things happen
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.
so its too difficult too figure out what im asking?
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

shtein thats high
and what about the odds of getting either the lakers pick or the #1 overall
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
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.

lol that's bad
"Rest of the team"...I guess Saric is chop liver.
the funny thing is the rest of the roster is not far off at all from being a legit rotation of guys on a championship team
the irony of that idiot hayes article is that the thing you need to worry about most is the stars....jo jo probably will never be healthy simmonds has never played and they need another piece this year in the draft which is an unknown....the least of the worries are people like saric covey and holmes
Marcus Hayes must make like $30k a year because that's the only way he can still be on the staff there.

i'm so nervous.
I'm hoping the Sixers get it even over Orlando
You're welcome in advance.
Most of all, I want that Lakers pick.
Sac getting #1 and swapping the pick would be awesome. And yeah LA would be nice this year but I'm OK with a Lakers top pick next year also.
yeah the lakers pick is the least important thing this year....it goes without saying that the number one thing is to get fultz ie the number one overall pick....next is to not drop from four
anything after that would be a bonus
in other words for me id easily rather have fultz than any two other lottery spots
they so much better odds of getting 2 picks than getting the 1
getting the 1 is basically impossible for them
its not even close to impossible....the flyers moving up to two was impossible...tonight its like a 7-1 odds...unlikely obviously but its realistic..they have more or less the same odds as the lakers of getting it
what time is the real lotto drawing...i think its like 1-2 hours before the made for tv stuff
830 is the show....so probably 850ish
no I think he means when do they actually fake picking the balls? do they even pretend to do it like the lottery with real balls anymore or do they just automate it?
serious question though, i don;t remember from past drafts...saying the lakers pick is 4 and conveys...will it show immediately the lakers logo or the sixers?
for tv purposes the balls were replaced with the cards long ago
as for when the cards are unveiled my guess is it will be begin around 845-850

14 - meaningless

12 - meaningless
11 - meaningless
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
That is actually very helpful.
Think this is gonna be anti climatic. Lakers get 2...Sixers get 4.

no dummy
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.
this is the actual lotto
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f-Pm9rSKXKo
who cares and how did you not know that anyway...you thought the actual drawing was done on tv?
If they do get the 7, the silver lining is that is guaranteed to not be their only pick. If they miss the 7 and get the 6, all bets are off.

that could be the most nonsensical thing ive ever heard
its like when you dvr a game and avoid seeing the score...you know it happened so theres a calm about it but youre still eager to see what happened
the most nerve racking part about all of this is the build up and lead up to the moment. which has already happened.

I'm not sure whether to be happy or disappointed.
ultimately its disappointing but it couldve been a lot, lot worse
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 disappointed but shouldn't be because I expected worse.
If they stay at 3 I want fox.
Josh Jackson got in trouble for keying a girls car. What a puss.
Josh Harris is either drunk or giddy bc he made some money in the market today.
He's blowing Hinkie. Thanking him and saying he's gonna text him a kiss.
What a farging clown.
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.
you either trade up for fultz or you trade back....this draft is basically the same from 2 to at least 8 and three in particular is a dead zone
if they stay there I take issac
so unless they get up to get fultz, kyle lowry is coming?

This is what I worry about with Colangelo. Signing people to fat deals who aren't worth it
I heard that clip on the way home of him and the lady going at on Cowherd's show
What a jerkoff. If the Lakers somehow pass on his kid and the Sixers take him I'll shtein
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

Quote from: ice grillin you on May 26, 2017, 07:26:40 AM

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.
They'd have two point guards vying for the rock on every possession. It would be a disaster. So it's a lock then?
im leaning to fox now
simmons - fox would be top 3-4 backcounrts in the league to watch and also top 1 worst shooting.
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
I will bet you any amount of money he and his retarded sperm donor will go play in a Europe or China rather than in Philly.
And he is absolutely a ball hog. If he's not the center of attention there will be a Vesuvius like meltdown.

i just said two different times hes going to the lakers....lock and load
and you couldnt be more wrong about lonzo....a whopping half of his shot attempts last year came off a catch and shoot...and he is a great and eager dish man....i know you are just saying this shtein cause you hate his dad but trust me i watched a lot of him this year and hes not remotely a ball hog
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.

im very far from an expert on what streams and what doesnt (where is lil guy when you need him) but espn streams colgate bucknell football so i cant imagine they wont stream the nba draft
Basically ESPN streams everything they broadcast through the WatchESPN app.

do people actually still vacation in AC ?
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.
yeah I haven't been to AC in years, and even then it was just to gamble so i legit had no idea what AC had boardwalk wise.

I don't think so, ESPN is still too invested in propping up the legacy cable system to allow other ways to access their on-air content. I haven't had cable in close to a decade but I leech someone else's login.
you cant watch espn for free if thats what youre getting at
several streaming aps like youtube tv and playstation vue offer espn.....but can you get into watch espn via that? i dont know. id imagine you wouldnt, youd watch it on your phone via the youtube tv app but whatever.
i believe you cannot just directly "buy" the espn app but i may be wrong about that because i remember hearing they offered it for something silly like 20 bucks a month. maybe im confusing it with something else.
Yeah, in order to use watchespn app (or nearly any other cable network app for that matter) you will need to log in with your acct info for you cable/dish provider.
Like even to watch stuff on FX, AMC, or Comedy Central apps, I think you still need to log in with your TV provider info.
does that go for live sporting events as well....like lil guy as an example doesn't have cable....does that mean he can't watch even games that espn broadcasts?
anyone who has philly comcast (or know someone who has it and can steal it), you can stream everything on the app.
i steal it from my mom and can watch any sixers game I want in real time on my phone or through roku on the tv.
same with flyers but blah.
also if the person you're stealing from pays for espn you can get that on the comcast app too. any station that they actually get on their tv.

huh...i use a log in to get everything but that besides the point
you need a log in to use any tv network app, except for hbonow which you can buy direct. you dont have to have cable, though. sling tv, youtube tv, etc. are basically cable providers.
how can you not steal someone's philly comcast login.
what...i do

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.

finally youre right about something
Kings reportedly offering #5 and #10 for the Sixers #3 pick. I'm down.
Conflicting reports, Woj is saying no, Pompey is saying maybe.
I'd do it in a heartbeat
If LA takes Jackson I hope they trade out just so they aren't tempted to take Ball
why dont you like lonzo
He's part of a three ring circus
Take that shtein somewhere else
I want him to fail and be sent to some shteinhole NBA city
right so it has nothing to do with him and everything to do with his dad being a wrestling heel for 2 months, something that does not matter and will not matter
by all accounts lonzo is a good dude
Oh well he's a victim of his pops stupidity then and I hope he ends up in a lousy situation
if lonzo is there at 3 i would be disgusted if they didn't snag him. would be a miracle.
i also think lavar would be a hit in philly after a week.

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.

forget the fact that you have no idea what you are talking about with lavar ball (read andrew brandts mmqb article on this if you dont believe me) or the fact that lonzo would be the best fit (and arguably the best player) on the board for the sixers at 3 you wishing ill on an 18 year old victim who has never done anything to you and never done anything in his public life to bother you is on some serious schizoaffective shtein
Hoping a 19 yr old fails because his dad is an ass is like saying sick kids deserve to die because their parents are poor.
There have been a lot of mentally unhinged takes in here over the years, but this one might be the crème de la crème.
im all in on Jackson but I wouldn't be upset if they took ball if there.
that said, id take that trade offer if real.
jacksons about the worst fit they could take there.....the last thing they need is a guy who cant shoot for shtein
not gonna lie...i barely watch college hoops. what's a decent nba comparison for jackson? a longer iggy? all around skills on both ends but not a shooter?
Quote from: hunt on June 15, 2017, 10:53:29 AM

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
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.
he loves his teammates so much that he keyed his boy's girlfriends car after they got into a little fight.
he's a bitch boy.

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.
the philly fanbase is experienced in dealing with wacko parents. so in. :yay

Dude, wishing failure upon a person or for bad things to happen to him because of things well beyond that person's control is like a textbook definition of "bad."
You're what? Creeping up on 40? And literally wishing for bad things to happen to a farging teenager. Let that sink in for a bit.
you'd also think by the way j talks about him that his dad is a war criminal
It has sunk in. It's a flippant comment about how I don't like the way that family is ala the Mannings. Should I feel like I need to kill myself because I want Ezekiel Elliott or OBJ to suck and fail?
I don't like the father. Big deal.
obj is a drama queen who brings it on his own self...same goes for zeke but on a lower level...and the 2 of them are ridiculous and they will not fail at all
lonzo is chill, his pops is a troll. hope big baller brand fails but wishing ill on lozno because of him isnt cool.
I wished him ill?

those would be two of the top two worst things to ever happen to philly sports
so, is j done hatin' on kids ?
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.
id trade covey saric and a 1 next year for fultz
just a one next year for him?...lakers would never do that but farg yeah
i mean yeah i like fultz much more than lonzo too but i really think magic needs to get the home town boy. and he doesn't seem like the best talent evaluator to begin with. if he comes out with lonzo plus a #1 next year seems like a win win for everyone. and an easy out for him.
i would probably go on the longest bender of my life if that happened...but theres better odds the world ends this weekend than both the celtics not taking fultz and the lakers doing that trade happening
no doubt. i am pretending.
Celtics will take Fultz, Lakers will take Ball, and I assume any rumors otherwise are just the media trying to gin up more interest.
100%. But we have now entered the beginning of the sports dark zone. At least we have something to talk about for a week until literally nothing for 3 months.
i think i agree that this is an espn gin up the interest in the draft stunt...both guys leading the reporting are espn reporters
the only caveat is why would you do it on a friday night rather than tuesday or wednesday
So this 1 for 3 is something
Plz happen
woj dont lie
woj is regularly wrong but keep suckling social media
name 1 time
google it...he makes up shtein all the time....you only know him from draft night cause you love spoiling picks
0/2
the old man is plastered tonight
FULTZ IS COMING
I know Fultz is by far the best player in the draft that fits the Sixers needs, but is he worth all that? I'd rather stay put, take bpa at 3, then move onto next season and see how the Lakers pick plays out. Since we're dealing with Ainge I have a feeling we're going to get fleeced.
yes hes worth it and you have so many god damn picks, giving up 1 for him is not even a debate
i dont understand people who want to keep punting for next year. they have now 3 potential superstars and all the cap space in the world. but you need to hold onto a late lottery pick.
Anyone who doesn't want Fultz this year needs their farging head checked
The only downside of this trade scenario so far is that Jah isn't included.
Oh yeah. I forgot he was still on the Sixers.
The Celtics were trying to get him before the trade deadline, weren't they?
Quote from: PhillyPhreak54 on June 17, 2017, 02:31:23 PM

I'd feel better if it were Hinkie making the trade. I can see Ainge fleecing BC.
#3 plus the Lakers pick plus the Kings pick would feel like a fleecing, so that's kind of what I'm expecting.
I'm fine with picks being dealt. I hope they keep Saric and RoCo
Quote from: PhillyPhreak54 on June 17, 2017, 04:22:57 PM

Everyone's saying it's no players.
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.
Woj is saying the 3 plus 2018 Lakers, 2021 Sixers, with some complicated protections. If that's the deal it's celebration time.

If that's true holy shtein amazing. I wouldn't even be that mad if they threw SAC pick in also.
I can't stop thinking like a Philly fan. The Lakers are going to tank this trade by picking Jackson. Or worse, BC will trade up and take Jackson.
a real philly fan would think the trades going happen but embiid plays less than 200 games in his career
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.

This kid seems dumb af. Just kidding love you Markelle.
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.
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.
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.
yeah normally you can pick a few scenarios to make a trade better but i honestly don't think it's realistically possible for sixers.
Ric Bucher was saying on radio last night he didn't like it because he thinks Jackson will be better than Fultz
Assuming Fultz and Ball went 1 and 2, if the Sixers had stayed at 3, who do they take?
Trade back if possible

I think I'm going to jump on the 6ers bandwagon too, but I'll probably wait until it looks like they'll make the playoffs. LET'S DO THIS!

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.

Also, Gerald Henderson waived, team saves $8mil against the cap.
JJ Redick 1 year $23 million. Great fit and great getting him on a one year deal.
That is a great deal. My new team is shaping up nicely!

one year deal = title run
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.

Fultz
Reddick
Simmons
Dario
JoJo
That ain't bad.
Amir Johnson.
Redick signing is mostly garbage
at best it's a mini spacing bridge
They still have $27 million in cap space. They should definitely be a playoff team
i thought colangelo was going to sign 4 different veterans to long term big money deals. i was explicitly told this would happen.
Just wait

i believe he did it yesterday or the day before which is an eternity in social media time
Fultz is interesting to watch...he doesn't jump off the screen like Embiid or even Simmons did last year but it seems like it comes easy to him. I'm already predicting 20% of philly fans are going to bitch he doesn't play "hard enough" because of his demeanor and the speed he plays at.

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
Tarczewski is a sack of shtein.
so is fultz...he can't sniff the paint against dante
what did i tell you about x
he's 2-2 on 3s and 0-2 on dunks.
anytime you can draft a player 4th overall who 4 years later is playing in summer league, its something you have to do
nice second half markelle

Oh no
NBA fined him for saying "farg" on social media. Lame.
Fultz injured his ankle/foot and had to be helped off
Plz hoops gods noooo
Ramona just said only a sprain
furkan has a real chance to turn into a three and no D guy
the good thing is he wont play in stupid summer league anymore now
Glad it's a simple sprain.
So they say until BryCo comes out and says it has to be amputated
durrr and then hes gonna sign mike conley to a 4/150 deal

That's your ad, isn't it?
saw colangelo tonight in washington square park. YES he had a big collar that covered all of his neck
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.
BC also said there is another guy he was going to throw 23M-ish at if JJ said no or took too much time. who knows if that's true though.
Lebron to Philly after next season. There's enough evidence of collusion to speculate.
Go
The retard who hated LeBron who used to post here would hate that.
As a new fan myself, I'd really love it!
Who was it that hated Bron? Was it Reese?
Every picture I've seen of Markelle for about two weeks now he's been wearing something with his own likeness on it. I am a little torn as to whether this is hilarious or douchey af.
Not exactly a surprise, but AI has been flaking on that BIG3 league he headlines. He played like 5 minutes in two of the first three games, bailed on the Philly game at the last minute with a vague medical excuse, didn't play Week 5, and went completely AWOL this week in Dallas.
AI agrees with us... farg Dallas!
hes a colossal drunk who should go to rehab or get it over with and drink his liver into oblivion
not great

It's just minor tweaks like the drop shadow and ads but all of the tweaks are bad.
yeah their jerseys were almost perfect before. now it feels like i should be wearing those cheap plastic 3D glasses.
im not even bothered by the ads....when i was a kid and they put ad's on hockey boards i farging lost it....those days are behind me but cant you just leave the god damn things alone...had to sit thru almost 20 years of crap to get back to something really close to the butteryness of the 60's 70's 80's and they cant even leave em be for more than two farging years
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.

I doubt that's him, that dudes all about Ohio and his favorite team is the Pens.
it matches up to his linkedin page. hes from ohio and for whatever reason moved to philly for a mostly-commission job selling 10 game sixers ticket packages.
As a new fan I don't thinks it's appropriate to troll employees of the team on social media. I haven't earned that right.
Yet.

I admire your creeper skills
QuoteBefore he was drafted Ben Simmons ran a 3.05 3/4 court sprint. Russell Westbrook ran a 3.08. John wall ran a 3.14.
I find this stat very hard to believe but it's too late i'm hard anyway.
even if tru its kind of meaningless if you arent dribbling a ball with defenders trying to stop you...otherwise just sign usain bolt to run the point
You realize they turn and run the opposite way on defense, right?
I have no idea what that has to do with anything
It means Simmons was fast as shtein and his recovery speed getting back on D should be exceptional.

I've been wearing my fultz jersey for about 4 days straight.
October 18 can't get here fast enough. Not just because of the excitement, but because I'm scared as shtein that one of Simmons, Fultz, or Embiid is going to get hurt bad before then.

Aside from the guy in the background with a Sixers hat on what am I missing here?
nothing
it starts tonight ladies
Vegan Jah is the best Jah.
I said it during both summer leagues but it's obvious watching for 30 seconds that Ben Simmons has "it". Fultz is TBD.
its well known simmons cant shoot a lick but jesus him and fultz were 3 for 19 from the field tonight....yikes
i also count 53 missed shots by the sixers and TWO oreb.....thats almost impossible to do
Quote from: ice grillin you on October 04, 2017, 09:20:03 PM

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.
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
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.
they played one preseason game. theyre all 19. jesus christ.
well either way, "the cuz" has creamed his pants at least 10 times over that one game.
sports talks radio has gotten to an all-time low in this city.
Quote from: MDS on October 05, 2017, 09:19:53 AM

simmons started shooting with his wrong hand well before last night
oh well then i guess he sucks. lets tank again.
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.
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.
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.
Quote from: Eagles_Legendz on October 05, 2017, 12:16:20 PM

because hes shooting with his off hand
you ever read or listen to kevin o'conner from the ringer? he's been losing his mind over the ben left hand issue forever now.
ive never read the ringer but whoever he is hes right
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
Not shteinting on them I love these dudes.
As for Brett I am 100% in on him as a human being but 50% in as a good coach.
i like everything about BB but no matter where you stand on him no one can truly know how good a coach he is with the complete slop hes had to deal with
KOC should be launched into a volcano
im not a monster fan of the 3d font but these jerseys are farging gorgeous
Who can I pay to not watch Nik Stauskas wear a sixers jersey this year
man if jaylen brown develops this year into what everyone thinks he should the celtics are going to be scary
get ready for mad hack-a-ben this year
absolutely frightening that he is going to have the ball in his hands in close games
Richaun should be sent home for that
philly fans are nuts but nothing they've ever done is more crazy than booing kris humphries everytime he touches the ball
is it because of the kardashian thing? what other reason could cause anyone to care enough about him
