the tanking was ugly, it was brutal to watch and go through, but it was a necessary part of the process.


and now here they are.

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

[hunt]

that would be a good 30 for 30. 

[smeags]

igy should narrate it.

[Sgt PSN]

The Process very well could be documentary material in 20 or 30 years, especially if JoJo leads this team to a chip. 

[smeags]

that would be awesome, especially when they get to the part about the four championships.

[phattymatty]

Those two Dario blocks last night were sexy as farg.

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

i thought it was insulting to take 2 guys who werent going to play a season after you tanked. no matter how the process turns out, thats a fact. they lied to everyone and roped everyone in, then took 2 guys who werent going to play. its insulting to your paying customers.

exum stinks but mcbuckets isnt a bad player at all.

Pretty sure you were critical of the MCW trade too. Just piling it on at this point.

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

plus, at this point, who cares, enjoy the ride and lets see how this goes.

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.

[ice grillin you]

Are we approaching the territory where embiid is so popular with everyone that igy is going to need to fight his natural impulse to dislike him due to rampant popularity

i was on him at kansas...hes a god always has been....ive been saying since the draft hes a transformational player that had to be taken...my problem is with the idiots who are happy they are winning these games and think its awesome...i am 100% a pragmatic fan...i dont root for or against things because other people do....i almost always root for what is best for my teams to win a championship one day....now admittedly thats probably less fun but its just how i am
