theres absolutely no evidence in houston or philly that hinkie acquires players via metrics....in fact mostly what he does is go after long athletes that can defend multiple positions...thats his MO so far...maybe that changes down the road but the stat stuff is just a talking point right now
complain about tanking if you want but you are clueless when you bring up the nerd stat stuff
All in on this team obviously
what will it take you all to be out
how many seasons does hinkie have to tank before you realize its a con game? how many games does embiid have to miss before you realize his legs will never work? wheres the line.
the more you're OUT the more i'm IN

your concern for sixers' fans that decide to "be in" with this team is admirable.
i will never got a "you were right" from havas because he was still cheering them on during the eddie jordan era, but im expecting it from everyone else
the question is who breaks first. im going with my baseball vorp brotha legendz.
ooooooh bold!!....still going out on that scary broken limb huh?
as i told you before theres waaaaaaay more of a chance this all fails than that it succeeds...you know nothing about the nba or its players...you are just saying blindly that they will never win....my mom could do that and would be right 99 times out of a 100

its not about that, kiddo
hinkie's plan doesn't have an end date. thats why it's bullshtein. he's just leaving the door open for "the future," collecting assets and hiring nerds. what is there to buy in to? oooo well they might be kind of good in 5 years if mcw develops a jump shot, noel puts on 30 pounds of muscle and embiid's knees starting working?

its a good thing theyre taking then
oh its still better to finish with the highest pick possible and that's what they are going to do...why would you actively try to finish with the 8th worst record this year rather the worst record...that's the dumbest thing ive ever heard
yea no
tanking made sense last year because the draft was so strong. setting up a tank this year is pointless. they should've actually tried to put a respectable product on the court and let the chips fall where they fell. for example, if you draft 2 guys who can, you know, play, you might not have the worst team but you still have a bad team.
so you keep your pick and you dont disgrace the sport in the process.
tanking makes sense every year until you arent tanking anymore and that aint yet
create a culture of losing and continue to build disinterest and apathy in the fan base and among your players
the recipe for success
lots of championship teams are bad before they are good.....culture of losing is a sports radio cliché that simply doesnt exist in real life....hit on enough draft picks and free agents and the sixers will be good down the road no matter how many games they lose this year
theres a difference between being bad and actively trying to lose
Quote from: MDS on October 03, 2014, 06:48:46 PM
theres a difference between being bad and actively trying to lose
no there isnt.....joel embiid isnt going to be a worse player in three years because the sixers tried to lose 60 games instead of tried to win and lost 55 games
celtics tried to lose and ended up winning a championship
joel embiid isnt going to be in the league in 3 years. but thats not the point.
ive never heard or seen a team try to tank this match and come out successful. i doubt it can work. but between hedge fund harris and douchebag hinkie, we will surely find out.
tanking has no bearing on how good you become
just say you think the odds are remote that the sixers ever win a championship under hinkie and we agree
but dont make up stupid culture of losing tanking arguments and the other nonsensical stuff you usually come up with

I know it's only exhibition but I watched the Sixers/Celtics game last night. Man, the Sixers really look bad.

they might win 2 games until mcw gets back...and he cant even shoot...and they have 0 interest in bringing back in a timely manner

edit again:
"Correction: Final vote was 17-13 IN FAVOR, short of 23 needed "yes" votes, per league sources." Lottery reform shot down.
matty coked up? (methed up?), sixers get their only victory of the season

QuoteThe anti-Philly animus is real. Several of the 12 teams that voted with Philly against lottery reform1 are somewhere between uncomfortable and angry with Philly's ultra-aggressive approach to tanking.
This is not to say Philly is doing anything wrong or unethical. It is, in fact, using the current system of rules to tank better than anyone else has had the balls or patience for in the past. Some executives feel envious that their owners never green-lit such a blatant multiyear tanking scheme — a long-term play that provides Sixers GM Sam Hinkie with unusual job security during a run of losing seasons. Job security is gold bullion in a league of such insane turnover.
Some executives say Philly has violated the sacred obligation for teams to compete as hard as they can every season. That is the more righteous version of the backlash, even if Philly is really trying to position itself to compete for championships in a half-decade or so. The league heard all of this grumbling. It saw all the press about tanking — all the hand-wringing and finger-wagging. It sought to squash the perception that something was fishy about team building in basketball, and it thought it would win.

:lilguybatsignal
Looks like they dealt Moultrie to NY for Travis Outlaw will be cut and the Sixers will also get s future 2nd rounder and the right to swap another future 2nd rounder
man i'm not sure about you guys but i am soooo looking forward to 2035 when this team makes it run.
Richardson is the only player on the roster that was here before Hinkie arrived. Amazing
moultrie was gonna be cut anyway....so these are all free ASSETS
Here's all the picks they have now:
2015 #1 = own, Miami's (top 10 prot)
2015 #2 = Golden State's, New Orleans', Orlando's
2016 #1 = own
2016 #2 = Denver's
2017 #1 = own
2017 #2 = own
2018 #1 = own
2018 #2 = Cleveland's, LA Clippers', the better of own/New York's
2019 #1 = own
2019 #2 = own, New York's, the better of Milwaukee's/Sacramento's
i will miss arnett.

yea there are a million ways they couldve built this thing up other than embarrassing themselves for 2 years...its such an easy thing to say "do you want to be the 8 seed forever?"
and again i dont so much have a problem with the tank as i do with hinkie and harris as humans.
What are your million other ways? They aren't getting a superstar so their other options were what exactly? You're mad at the sixers when you should be mad at the nba. Don't hate the player hate the game.
they rightfully tanked last year...draft your players and start playing for real....see what you have.....wait for the free agency class next year or the year after
if mcw/noel/embiid/whoever turns out to work, a big time FA will want to sign here. this isnt milwaukee. if it doesnt, youll be bad anyway and have another crack at the lotto.
and again its not so much the double tank, its hinkie being an icehole and harris not giving a shtein. they are treating the fans like garbage....who in their right mind would pay for this slop product? they should be bending over backwards to get people in the building or wearing gear.
So pretty much what they're doing is what you're bitching about...Embiid and mcw are injured so not sure what you're upset about. Lol at treating the fans like shtein...90% of Sixers fans see the bigger picture. Nobody was going to a game this season to see Thad Young
i wouldnt have drafted embiid...hes been playing basketball for 3 years and has been injured for 3 years
mcw cant shoot
noel is a stick and missed a week with a cold
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.

mcw was a steal at 9...not all pgs can shoot plus he's barely old enough to drink
Camby was a stick too
i dont want a big man thats been playing basketball for 3 years and hurt for all 3 years. sorry.

you have no idea and wont for 5 years if any of these moves are good. and theres nothing quite like waiting around for a while to see if nerlens noel's cold passes and joel embiid's back heals.

you talk about how you want mcw gone on 1 side of your mouth, and the other you defend hinkie by saying mcw won some nonsense award for putting up empty stats on a team that lost 100 games
fundamentally, the nba is a broken product. it shouldnt take 3 years for players to become good. but thats where we're at. im not sure how something could be "flawless" if its going to take 6 years to get an answer. its "flawless" if hinkie's goal is to stay employed.
just because id trade him....hinkie has also tried to trade him btw...doesnt mean he didnt wildly exceeded the expectations not of just what i thought hed be...i didnt like him coming out of college but also of a pick outside the top 10
his moves so far have been flawless....embiid he got lucky with cause of the injury....but he still bagged the top rated player in two consecutive drafts and on top of that also got the nba rookie of the year and the best intl. player not in the nba....and we still have the 2015 draft yet to come
then add on all the draft picks hes acquired for nothing....and the sick cap space
dook is rockin and rollin
the two highest rated players in the last 2 drafts....please. when are you going to learn how useless rankings are for undeveloped talent. high school kids, college, nobody knows shtein. thats all horeshtein. so if noel stinks, its not a bad pick because jay bilas said he was good?
mel kiper jr ruined everything.
so when is the openning tank ? i mean game ?
also, i google searched "dook" and this is what i found for a pic.

he might watch one nba game a year
basically it boils down to him just saying that in four years they will suck....which is probably right but not because he has any idea what hes talking about....but because theres a 9/10 chance of that happening just because thats how the nba works...its a classic case of blindly state the obvious and then say i told you so
or maybe i know drafting damaged goods isnt a smart idea
and that i can smell the huckster on hinkie from a mile away
but youre right im just guessing or something. go sixers! hinkie is perfect!
so far he is.....but we have eons to go
who do you trust more
hinkie or chip
right now?
hinkie and its not close
chips just another good nfl head coach....he can win a superbowl or he can be back in college in two years...but hes not anything special

really its an unfair comparison as hinkie is purely a PP guy....chip is an x's and o's man with some PP (suspect so far) sprinkled in
you also are asking this question 48 hrs after chip was outcoached by someone named bruce arians and hinkie stole two draft picks for a player that was waived
chip wasnt outcoached...his qb stinks
wait im done stop it todd stop it
horrible non challenge
questionable fg decision
100 passes and 10 runs for as you just noted a qb who stinks
what an awesome comparison.

MDS - From what I can tell, you've thought the Astros blow it up and rebuild from scratch was/is a good idea. The Sixers are doing the exact same thing, but you crush them for it. For why?
i wasnt anti-tank....im anti double tank and anti hinkie/harris
Loves baseball blow ups and analytics
Hates it in basketball
basketball analytics are worthless....you dont need some nerd calculator to tell you lebron james is good
baseball is the sport it works in because its all about numbers and odds and therefore math. nerds have a place....its not the be-all, end-all of course.
this new replay system seems like its working well.

Wroten trying to get himself a triple double
shved's the best player on the court tonight.
wrotens dunk was sick and its crazy how close nerlens is to what we knew hed be...10 boards 3 blocks hideous offensive game...he needs to get stronger and develop a 8-10 foot bassline and elbow jumper....oh and he also needs to play next to joe-L embiid instead of hank sims
yeah it's going to be a long year. fun to watch though, even with all of the losing.
you're totally right though, the majority of the top 8 or 9 are basically the same player other than nerlens.
i still don't think they're anywhere near as bad as reaching the all time loss record. there will be a few teams worse than them this year.
i know they will obviously but i fail to see how they win five games this year with this roster and that includes when mcw comes back....more than 15 would be a miracle...record is possible
larry brown is 100% correct.

how you cant have a boner over nerlens is beyond me
I have watched 5 minutes of the Flyers this year & almost all of both of the Sixers games. When MCW is back, watching he and Noel is more exciting or entertaining to me than pretty much anything the Phillies or Flyers are offering.

Give it up to the Sixers PR for finding shtein that makes them sound good
QuoteSixers
Tonight, @NerlensNoel3 became 1st rookie starting C w/ 10+ PTS, 6+ STL, & 5+ AST since Alvan Adams (PHX) in '76.
QuoteSixers
With 77 PTS, 27 AST, 19 REB, & 12 STL through 4 gms, @TWroten_LOE joins just 4 other players who've accomplished that feat since 1985.
The other 4 were teammate Michael Carter-Williams (2013-14), Dwyane Wade (2008-09), Jason Kidd (2000-01), and Alvin Robertson (1987-88).
so how did noel look last night ? didnt see the game and you'd think he played like shtein going by burger king and cataldi.
it was actually a fun game to watch. they basically have played 12 pretty respectable quarters but just lose their steam in the 4th quarter.
wroten is insane, it's funny to watch. not sure he makes anyone else on the team better though. will be nice to see MCW in there with nerlens. KJ is most likely going to be a long term piece of the team. crazy good defender who's going to throw down highlight reel dunks this year. even shot well last night. even shved has shown some flashes here and there of being a player.
but yeah they're not good, i enjoy watching them though. also houston was shooting lights out, on a normal shooting night, sixers most likely take that game last night. howard is the most unlikable person in the nba in a long time. just a condescending laugh every time nerlens made a good play.

About as you'd expect from his line. Active defense, decent on O, got destroyed trying to box Howard out.

Great article. Look, they suck, but they aren't boring at all. It's development of a new core combined with tryouts of the bench guys, with all the speed and athleticism that Hinkie and Brown can muster from guys you've never heard of. They are fun in a way that other bad teams are not.
its so much fun watching 8 guys who wont be in the nba in 5 years play in the nba
no nerlens tonight....they baby him too much....i know they are playing for nothing but i wanna watch him dammit
I wonder if Todd could whine a little more about this team. Very curious about that.
dont worry he will be here soon enough to blather on about how injury prone nerlens is
Once the plan works Todd will be the first one in line at the WF center for tix
its probably not going to work but thats not the point....he disagrees with the plan itself and the moves thus far....thats how you know he just wants to say i told you so and at the core how no idea what hes talking about

again i loved the tank. i hate relying on injured prone big men and find it insulting they tanked 1 year and drafted 0 players who could play. i despise hinkie, o'neill and harris on a human level and do not trust any of them. i dont trust that harris will not flip the team and i find hinkie to be a total icehole.
j we know is sheep...you are for the sixers but not for the other 3. it is what it is and i love you anyway.
you hate the tank and have said so approx. a thousand times...you are all over the map and very confused...except for one thing you stay true to...which is that "its not going to work"

btw how about 57 against the bulls in a half and out rebounding them
Gotta find a way to stop fizzling out in the second halves
actually im fine with that....keep losing....its all about the individual players...well all three maybe four of them that matter
wroten for mvp.
lol at wroten down by 9 dribbling some clock out then going one on one for a layup...hes def not the smartest player in the nba
this is an interesting test case of the new review rules....does it have to be blatant to reverse like the nfl
ref thinks it's nfl out of bounds rules.
and it does not...nice review really nice play by wroten
chris johnson - alexy shved and jakarr sampson are AWFUL

youre the last person in the world id expect to laugh at that
its 24 hours since ive seen it (the 1st time) and im still dying. i cant fault people for not finding it funny, its REALLY weird. but yes its literally my favorite thing ever.
its not even close to weird....its getting married to stupid tho
i wont argue that...its an 11 minute parody of tv show opening credits. youre either in or out on that.
speaking of being in or out: giving hinkie the 10 years he wants to build a contender. OUT
ten years?
we will know in no more than five

lol you naive little child....you have no clue what's about to happen
hinkie the huckster and
karl rove scott o'neill are just getting started
four years into joe-el we will know everything we need to
oh youll know...but hinkie will get a pass for it
when embiid cant get on the court, itll be a "we went for it, didnt work. oh well." thats why hinkie wants 10 years....he knows this thing isnt going to work and wants as many chances as he can get. its not an all-in on embiid. remember you have to be patient. listen to what scott o'neill says! arent you tired of being the 8 seed!
hinkie wont be here in ten years nor probably will josh harris
scott oneil might not be here next year
so if nobody is staying then why are you buying in? why are any of these players -- just the important ones in mcw, kj, hans, saric and next year's 1 -- going to stay here or even likely to turn out to be decent?
nobody stays forever....10 years is a long time....we will know way before then whether they are a title contender or not
the players if good will stay here cause they will have more money than god...that's not an issue....the issue is whether they turn out to be players or not
if mcw or noel or embiid are good they can get paid anywhere (lets say 1 turns out to be) ... why is he staying here?
there's about 100000000000 things that can and will go wrong with this "plan." tell me again why i should worship it.
if both of them are that good then....
1. they will want to stay here because the team is obviously gonna be sick
2. the sixers will be able to pay them much more than any other team
i feel like youve never watched the nba before
I also love how you are morphing from they aren't gonna be good all the moves suck....to well they are gonna be good but they aren't gonna stay here
you are so desperate to hate
you are missing the point
obviously if 2-3 of them hit, theyre going to be sick. sounds like something that happens to philadelphia teams.
the embiid move i didnt like at the time....still dont like now.....otherwise i like their moves. i just know the odds of it working are lower than sunmo's t-cell count and the fact that its going to take 5 years to figure out is moronic. plus i dont like the management team as humans.
otherwise 123456ers

plain and simple. have some self respect and wait for them to actually try before you give them your time. if that ever happens.

sixers came up three points shy of the all time biggest nba half time deficit
honestly feel bad for people in the building
they paid good money to see a basketball game and they are not seeing one. the game is simply not on the level. fundamentally, its wrong.
I would pay double to see the sixers challenge the record for biggest halftime lead ever
Quote from: ice grillin you on November 13, 2014, 09:32:52 PM
sixers have 10 fouls and 10 turnovers
sixers have 19 pts
went to half with 28 combined fouls/turnovers and 29 pts....unreal
How many people are in the building?
How many paid versus being given tix?
How many paid good money?

What's wrong with the Cavs? Who do you hold responsible for their play?
These guys lost by 53 last night. I'm obviously about as disinterested about them as ever but can someone tell me what the hell is the end game here? I know they're trying to tank again but tanking is supposed to eventually lead you to winning big. They seem more interested in losing in historic fashion than ever winning again.
Seriously, I'm asking. Who are they after with all these embarrassing losses?
i turned it on last night and it was 48-12. i've watched a lot of them this year but even I couldn't keep that ish on.

hinkie magic has been there for less than a year and a half...we are in the infancy of the process
Last year, didn't they lose by 40+ in consecutive games to the Clips and Warriors? Pretty sure the we're the 1st team to lose by 40+ back to back.
infancy of the process ? so is hinkie wanting a 9yr extension an indicator of how long this will take ?
nine years?....we will know in 3-4 if this thing has a chance
Are the 2014-15 Philadelphia 76ers the worst team in NBA history?
After losing by 53 points to the Dallas Mavericks, the 76ers are now 0-8 for the second time in franchise history.
Most 50-Point Losses -- NBA History
76ers - 5
Cavaliers - 3
Kings - 3
Trail Blazers - 3
The only other time they started 0-8, they finished the season 9-73, the fewest wins by any team all-time in an 82-game season.
It's no surprise the Sixers are off to such a bad start, but trailing by 44 at halftime and suffering a 53-point loss is perhaps the low point.
Historical perspective of loss
The 123-70 result is the largest margin of victory in Mavericks franchise history and the third-largest loss in Sixers franchise history.
The 44-point halftime deficit was tied for the second-largest in NBA history. Only the Sacramento Kings' 47-point deficit against the Warriors during the 1991-92 season was larger.
The Sixers now have five 50-point losses in their franchise history, the most for any team. No other franchise has more than three.
How bad are they?
The 76ers have been outscored by 143 points in their first eight games -- that's the third-worst combined margin through eight games in NBA history.
Worst Combined Margin Through 8 Games in NBA History
1997-1998 - Warriors - 148 - 19-63
1988-89 - Heat - 147 - 15-67
2014-15 - 76ers - 143 - ?
*All 3 teams started 0-8
The 1997-98 Warriors and 1988-89 Miami Heat (in their inaugural season) were the only teams to have an even worse start -- and they both finished with fewer than 20 wins.
Even when the Sixers finished 9-73 in 1972-73, their margin through eight games was only minus 74.
The Sixers rank last in the league in offensive efficiency, averaging 90.4 points per 100 possessions. They also rank last in rebound percentage, grabbing less than 46 percent of available rebounds.
Nothing to work with
The 76ers have just three first-round picks on their active roster (Michael Carter-Williams, Tony Wroten and Nerlens Noel), the fewest of any team. By comparison, the Mavericks have eight.
The Sixers also have seven undrafted players on their active roster (the most of any team), compared to just two for the Mavericks (Greg Smith and J.J. Barea).
The Sixers have now lost 40 of their past 44 games dating back to Jan. 31 of last season.

facts
i normally hate this question because even the worst pro teams are far and away better than the best college teams. but.
if there were a 7 game series between kentucky and the sixers next week...i think kentucky might be able to sneak one out.
talent: the sixers are purposely putting people on their team who should not be in the pro's and kentucky has at least five players who could play in the pros now...so it wouldnt even be like a pro team beating a college team
experience: sixers have no true veterans.....so they wouldnt even have a huge advantage here....which is big when comapring pro vs college teams
home court advantage: kentucky....blue would even take over the wells fargo
coaching: kentucky
kentucky in 6
there's not a WNBA team out that couldnt stomp this sixers team.
Eric Bledsoe (ex-Cat) is the latest person saying Kentucky would beat the Sixers (http://www.cbssports.com/nba/eye-on-basketball/24821240/suns-eric-bledsoe-kentucky-can-definitely-beat-the-sixers)
and MCW and the Sixers got a mention on today's Ellen show (http://www.ellentv.com/videos/0-c7qlfz8e/) after MCW said last week that he watches her show to get his mind off losing
easy are you IN on hinkie
three on one with nerlens on one wing and baah moute on the other and mcw gives the ball to the african....feed the big man and get him goin Michael....he needs all the confidence he can get right now
not sure how anyone can watch this garbage...this is as bad as a phillies game
lebron/spurs is on, too
Thought tonight could possibly be the night...can they pull the futility trifecta of most losses to start a season...most consecutive losses...and most losses in a season
next possible win is december 5 vs thunder
all part of "the plan" im sure is to go 2-80

Hinkie, Howie, Hexy - all tied for third. None of them have done anything to be considered anything greater to this point.

none of them have proven to be special yet but....
hinkie magic has had 17th months of error free rebuilding

man those 200 fans at the game were loud.
ill be one of them on monday and wednesday
be loud and proud ... you'll be easy to spot in the crowd that way. :yay
ill be easy to spot because im really fat
haaaa.
on a serious note - i get what the sixers are doing, i dont really like it that much but again i get it and i'll stick with them. i might feel dirty for doing it but i'll just wash this stink of losing off when this turns around and enjoy the ride.
out of the 5 best prospects, 4 are big men and 1 is a oversized point guard who is playing in china
cant wait to see how hinkie sell his re-rebuild and tank 3

He's in first by default because his team is the only one that isn't a disaster right now, and most of his FA signings post-Andy have turned out OK. Hextall needs to clean up Homer's mess before we can see what he's capable of (and yelling at the team last night gives him some bonus points), but on-the-ice, that Hartnell/Umberger swap isn't looking so great right now

howie most certainly did address the defense in the 1st round. but well, you know.
addressing the defense and improving it are two very different things

i suppose if embiid never plays....and saric sucks and exum becomes a franchise player and mcbuckets is an all star then there will be some crow swallowed...but even then that would be ripping the individual picks not the tanking plan....unless you are taking some sort of moral high ground against tanking then theres really no argument against the big picture plan

She's losing mind!
Does Philly only get the helicopter parents or what?
nerlens plays for the sixers now not the wildcats you little bitch bledsoe
I want them to win and smear Bled-ho's face in it
nerlens just jumped to the top of my favorite players in the city list with those last two posessions
Describe
Not home yet
before the game he was not pleased with Bledsoe....just said talk to me after the game about it
then he smashed bledsoe in the face on the first possession of the game....followed at the other endwith an angry two handed dunk attempt and got fouled
now a three point play
That's beautiful.

k to da j!!! just blew a dunk but im sure homer havas wont be mentioning that
did noel hit an 18 footer in this 75 point blowout? so exciting!
thats the second one hes missed tonight....but hes more 3 pt shooter than dunker
what's the point where you'll jump off the hinkie taintwagon
noel moved to the bench?
mcw traded?
triple tank?
embiid's knees?
where's your line, homer
after the plan runs its course I guess...but even then it wont be jumping off his bandwagon more than jumping off the players....I cant hate on hinkie till he starts making bad picks trades or signings
so if he trades mcw and or noel...embiid injuries out....and we go to tank 3 and tank 4, youll still be IN?
if embiid never plays everyone will be out...and mcw and nerlens are like the 4th and 5th most important parts of the plan....embiid this years #1 and saric are all probably more important...maybe not saric

This season was always going to be a dumpster fire. We won't know for another 2 years or so whether this thing is headed in a positive direction. I hated the cycle of mediocrity the team was stuck in so I'm willing to give this a shot while acknowledging that it may well blow up in their face.

He doesn't even like basketball, so anything he likes or doesn't like is irrelevant.

the sixers are the most disingenuous organization i have ever seen. they treat you people like youre from charlotte....just follow our plan. what's your plan? we wont tell you because our gm is a coward. ok!

It's sad that Hinkie's moves have prevented the decade-long Sixers dynasty they were building around that Lou Williams/Evan Turner core.
its always the same response.....weren't you tired of being the 8 seed? did you want to build around igwadala forever? bla bla bla.
here's what the sixers did
1. gutted their team and their roster (smart)
2. picked up an extra 1st rounder, an injured NN and mcw for jeru (smart)
3. tanked for a pick in the most loaded draft in years (smart)
4. USED THEIR 2 TOP 10 PICKS ON GUYS WHO CANNOT PLAY
5. threw away an entire season...lost 26 games in a row....disgraced the sport.....all for 2 GUYS WHO CANNOT PLAY
i dont know about you but i find that pretty insulting and condescending. and i have spent and invested exactly $0 into this team. the lies coming from the organization continue....the sheep continue to make excuses and follow....i can smell this from a mile away. it aint working.
What difference does it make where Saric is playing right now if he's here and good in 3 years?
So what should they have done? Take Dante Exum and McBuckets? That would have put them on the championship path?
If you think the goal was to put the best possible team on the court in 2014-2015, then yeah what they did is terrible.

this is like in religion where they keep coming up with excuses: "everything happens for a reason" "we can't understand god's plan" "they're in a better place now" and on and on and on. the sixers keep lying to you. they blow up mcw out of one side of their mouth, then try to trade him out of the other. they go crazy over kj, then only sign him to a 1 year deal. so many holes and what ifs everywhere. its fraudcity.
this thing isnt working, wont work and cannot work. nice try hinkie.
I'm not even a huge basketball fan, but how did they "disgrace the sport?"
Operating within the confines of the current NBA system, the Sixers stripped completely down from their rather mediocre roster.
Knowing that they wouldn't compete for anything this year anyway, they went for talent that could payoff bigger down the road rather than settle for talent that would be better today but have a lower ceiling.
Yeah, they're playing for the possibility of snagging the top pick this year. They would be anyway. Embiid and Saric (more than likely) will be on the team next year\, along with whatever lottery pick the Sixers acquire in the next draft. (PS - I wouldn't plan on the top pick. I have the feeling the NBA will make sure they don't get that.)
Will the plan work? I have no idea - any plan involving the Sixers is a long shot. It's more likely that they will rocket back to mediocrity two years from now. But you'd rather them have the 10th pick rather than a guaranteed top-3. They weren't making the playoffs this year. Hell, they weren't winning 30 games this year.
The bad part of this is that, with the Flyers (unintentionally) tanking this season as well, and with Ruben F. Amaro still in charge of the Phillies, there's going to be a long, dark stretch between Eagles seasons.
As if the NBA needed the Sixers to "disgrace the sport." The Sixers are just doing more honestly what other teams have done under this system.

they lost 26 games in a row last year
this year they have maybe 3 nba players on their roster and are 0-16 going on 0-20. people, whether here are on the road, pay good money to watch an nba game and do not see a quality product when the sixers are on the court. its insulting.
ps im surprised you subscribe to conspiracy theories.

Quotethis is like in religion where they keep coming up with excuses: "everything happens for a reason" "we can't understand god's plan" "they're in a better place now" and on and on and on. the sixers keep lying to you. they blow up mcw out of one side of their mouth, then try to trade him out of the other. they go crazy over kj, then only sign him to a 1 year deal. so many holes and what ifs everywhere. its fraudcity.
this thing isnt working, wont work and cannot work. nice try hinkie.
Worst possible analogy. People still believe in religion despite millions of years worth of events that completely contradict it. That would be like tater skins fan thinking this is finally their year even though the franchise doesn't change its approach.
The whole "gods plan" is comfort blanket for people to wrap themselves in to feel better after some unforseen tragedy. The current state of the Sixers was not unforseen. We've been ready for this since last year.
The fact that you're saying it can't work and won't work simply shows that you don't want it to work. There's a plan in place. Whether or not it is properly executed remains to be seen. If this team is legit in 2 years, great. If not, then fire Hinkie and move on.
I don't like hockey, which is why I don't post in the flyers thread. You don't like the NBA so, you know.....

My question was more specific. What does cannot play mean? Cannot as in not talented or cannot as in literally cannot play this season? The point is why does it matter whether they can play this season? This season was irrelevant from the jump so who cares whether Embiid or Saric play this year so long as the CAN play down the line? I'd rather have someone with Saric's upside than someone who physically can play this year but who has a far more limited ceiling.
cannot as in cannot...they cant play. they are injured or slumming at the prague discotech
and again i get what theyre doing....but that doesnt take away from how insulting and overtly pathetic it is (there's tanking, there's really tanking, then there's the sixers) and maybe not smart. there are a ton of holes in this "plan," there's a terrific chance it never works. you can make the same argument about drafting exum and mcbuckets instead of embiid and saric.
winning in the nba isnt easy. i just wanted them to get on with it. because right now they are 3 years away from being 3 years away.
They tanked this season not just to get another top-3 pick but to avoid paying a 1st to Miami (they'll give up two of the 1293912392183 2nds instead). Next year you're gonna have Noel, MCW, Embiid, KJ and top-3 pick (plus whatever they do with Miami's 1st) and they might win 25 games, then they have another top-5 pick, Saric comes over, Durant's a free agent (hey I won't give up hope yet)....now all of a sudden you have a great looking team
Um, will they have KJ next year?

so you're good with everything they've done except for embed and saric. you would have rathered that they drafted dude who they see as lesser talent just so maybe they would get a few more wins this season?

nothings guaranteed
they have to deem his worthiness
but a small qualifying offer makes him restricted
sixers losing by 24 to the spurs' C-team, but im sure its really important what mcw and kj do against this juggernaut. also noel not playing because of another booboo.
Settle down, Chief.
I liked how he (THE KING) tried to tie the Spurs not playing Timmay and Frenchie tonight into some rip against the Sixers earlier.
lol....so the spurs are resting 2 of their best players because the sixers awesome
this is going to happen game after game. nobody respects or cares about the sixers. you heard joakim noah, nobody is even preparing for them. but ya'll homers will cherrypick the "positive" things, like some kj slam against a disinterested 11th man in the 3rd quarter of a 20-point blowout, while ignoring everything else associated with this catastrophe.
if you wanna be down with the tank and pretend the 0-82 doesnt matter, FINE. but then remember everything and anything that happens this year, including the good stuff, doesnt count either.
spurs rested duncan parker ginobli and danny green against the heat last year and duncan ginobli bellinelli and splitter this year against houston
last night had nothing to do with the sixers....pop be pop...but for people like king and the lil guy who dont watch the nba its a neat narrative to run with
but just imagine how much better it would be for the fanbase if they had exum out there this year.
they would actually be a lot worse
wrotes >>>>>>>> exum right now
oh also utah with a roster chock full of nba players in addition to the great dante exum has a whopping five wins
well yeah but disgrace to fanbase, embiid, saric boooooo yada yada
well clearly this year doesnt matter then, which is OK
so lets all just pack up and leave. nobody pay attention, nobody watch, nobody care. nothing matters. cancel the games.

World Championship comparisons? Come on Tejas Todd!
i was alluding to the homer south jersey element of the base, which you are most definitely a part of, that was fapping to beating the god awful twolves.
i mean they were going to mo williams and thad young in crunch time. granted the sixers were going to robert covington, but still. come on. this was not an nba game.
lol at a sixer south jersey fanbase
sixers are two games behind detroit (who has tried to win like crazy the last two years) and within three games of three other teams (one being the knicks who always try and win) but HOLY fargING shtein HINKIE YOU POS GNOME WHAT THE farg ARE YOU DOING TO OUR TEAM AND THE LEAGUE AND THE NBA AND SPORTS AND LIFE AS WE KNOW IT ON EARTH IS OVER NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
sixers tell you they are going to be bad = disgrace to sports, fire everybody
flyers try to be good and suck = THEY SHOULD TANK
I liked the shot that Bill Simmons took at Carmelo and the Knicks last night - basically took at shot at him for staying in NY and how the Knicks are only a couple games ahead of the Sixers
i know they are awful, but most nights they are not bad to watch if you have the proper expectations. last night was ugly, sure. but the brooklyn game that igy and i went to on thanksgiving eve was a fun entertaining game to watch.
Its all about expectations and the team set them and told everyone that they will suck
So the entertainment now is watching the individual players get better and develop. Which of the no names will be good NBA players? Covington looks promising. Watching Nerlens get his game together. Can Wroten cut down on turnovers and be a good sixth man type guy? Can MCW develop into a star point?
i loved before the game brett saying he didnt give a farg about the record and didnt even know what it was till the media started creeping...and that all he cares about is making the guys better and following the plan...said the team was the same way
and thats pretty much how they acted after the game...no clown show...no one acting a 1-17 fool...just some smiles and a few high fives....for being the youngest team in nba history they know whats up
also MCW still can't shoot for shtein.
their future point guard is playing in china right now

everything's awesome, guys
they are 1-17 and they just beat the atrocious twolves. and hey, they are nearly better than the pistons and knicks WHO ARE TRYING! man is life great right now in sixerland. woohoo.
its right where it should be

how is anything associated with a team that is 1-17 "fun"
not sure about you but i like winning....not saying a 6-11 team would be better....but there is nothing "fun" about the sixers right now. unless you are a sheep homer wait yes you guys are.
you sure put a ton of energy into this team that you claim nobody should pay attention to.
you have no idea how taxing it is to post things on an internet message board
i am SPENT...whew
wrotes is amazingly fun to watch....k to the j nothing more needs to be said about....i like watching nerlens as well
but mostly that particular game was fun cause the crowd was actually really into it....they hadnt won yet and were approaching records...its not a fun team per se...but i love watching the plan and the pieces that may or may not be in it in the years to come
imagine if the phillies completely sucked like they do now but instead of a roster full of ancient pieces of garbage they had a few young pieces of a plan going forward on the roster....that makes a gigantic difference in watchability...in fact its pretty much the difference between watching and not watching
sixers this year >>>>>>>> sixers last year

Nice read.
They're going to find guys who can play and he's looking like one of them. Develop the guys and when the team is ready to move beyond this rebuilding you have guys who know how to play and have experience.
Just keep developing talent and make all the people who think this is a joke eat their words.
he cant play a lick....he literally cant dribble....hopefully he ends up being a deep rotation spot up three point shooter
And I'm fine with that bc you need sharpshooters
But letting him get run now can help his handle

Not sure the heat are a real risk to fall into the top10 because of how weak the East is unless Bosh/Wade are out for an extended period.

they aren't talking about the knicks because they aren't tanking....sixers 100% are tanking...nothing has changed since the beginning of the year much less since they were 0-17....but people on both sides need to realize that the front office is tanking not the players...that's a HUGE distinction
I get that. But I want someone to say
"The Sixers aren't really trying to win and have a rag tag roster and yet they're farging better than the lousy New York Knicks"

Sure the FO is tanking.
My comment is more geared to the conversation that this is an all-time disgraceful roster, would lose to UK, etc. They didn't finish with the worst record last year and they may not this year so people need to chill out with over statements.

Exactly. I don't see why this is hard for people to understand. There's the franchise and then there's the team. Franchises tank, teams don't.

this reminded me of an exchange we had on messenger sunday nite before the sixers were gonna play
me: city's team in 40 minutes.....you ready
lil guy: NO
me: boooooso now you are stealing my moniker for the team and trying to bandwagon the farg out of them
FRAUD
IT WAS A JOKE
jesus
internet
def wasn't a joke...you wanna come around so bad
just admit it and then maybe the council will take it under advisement at a later time to see if you are accepted
oh thats true, i would love to come around....but i aint gonna be there for a long while
but me calling them the city's team was most definitely a joke
[mds]union > sixers[/mds]
I don't think that would even be a difficult decision for him
ive seen mls up close and its amateur hour...its not a real thing
Are the Sixers going to keep both embiid and Noel to have a Lil twin tower deal or would one of them get traded?
They're both staying...Nerlens needs his offensive game to develop in a big way
I'm admit the losing gets old but man if this team comes together like it could..look out.
Both are staying, and if they somehow end up with Okafor, I think Noel comes off the bench
I don't think they even know if they are both staying...hinkie magic will move anyone at anytime if he feels it furthers the program...obviously embiid is the key to everything so hes gonna stay and hopefully turn into the franchise player...but nn could be moved at anytime imo
I'm thinking Noel gets moved if embiid comes in and blows up. Def if they get okafor. Too valuable trade wise to make him a bench player IMO.
I'd just like to point out these are nice problems to have
Mudiay is coming next year. It's going to be great.

playoff hopes took a hit with this L.
i really wanted them to win last night just because of utah's announcers. i have never heard a more smug icehole call a game in my life. just constantly shteinting on the sixers, basically making fun of them the whole time. granted, most of what he said was probably right, but they way he talked it was as if his jazz were some top flight team right now. it was painful to listen to.
and honestly i was just jealous because i would love for announcers for any of my teams to be total dicks like that.

full commercial break and they are still talking about it...now smith says its like winning the miss akron pageant
wrotes throws up a prayer just to get a 2 for 1 and it goes in....sixers cut it down from 19 to 6
uh oh now chris paul is trying
yeah son quick TO by doc coming out the half
every time i turn this effing team on its a 4 or 5 point game, then within 5 minutes they're down by 20.

I'm not sure what I was expecting out of Noel offensively but I have still been underwhelmed. I think he can be a great energy 6th man/rim protector but I'm not sure the skill is there on offense to produce unless you put him in a free wheeling all transition all the time setup.

Hinkie is the one trying to lose. Brown isn't and the team sure as hell isn't...they may lose but it's not due to lack of effort.
Wroten is a fan favorite
Like MCW but I'd trade him for a scorer. If the Heat pick comes through maybe package him with that pick to move up.
Can't wait till Embiid is ready...Nerlens gets pushed around in the paint too much. He reminds me of the tal kid in class who doesn't reslize he's tall. Doesn't know how to use his height yet
hooray for the players trying hard....effort is always awesome from 7 win professional teams
you realize you are getting excited about a random win over indiana in january of a season where the sixers will finish with one of the 4 worst records in the league. it doesnt matter. not one bit. it means nothing. its like the next 5 seasons of the phillies, except with a microcosm of hope.
You're more excited for a high budget loser team with no future like the Phillies more than a young team with talent that plays hard like the Sixers.
Quote from: SD on January 11, 2015, 11:27:25 AM
a young team with talent that plays hard like the Sixers.
they have seven wins
this is the NBA...its the big time...its about winning. the sixers havent won anything and arent close to winning anything. and they wont be remotely close unless joel hans embiid is as good as the nerd scout sites havas reads says he could be.
but its great that theyre playing hard! hooray for effort!
Together We Build
except for you. You're not included in We
The sixers have Embiid, Nerlens, MCW, euro trash, kj, Grant and another high pick...there's young talent and hope. Meanwhile the Phils still have a bloated payroll and 2 prospects ranked in baseball Americas top 100...but hey they signed Aaron Harang lets get excited.
i dont know what the sixers have to do with the phillies.
Two last place teams you root for...one you embrace and are deluded into thinking they have a bright future...the other you condemn because they have to operate under a salary cap and have to play by the zesty rules the nba employ
i embrace the phillies? they have a bright future? i think i said that if 10000 things go right they can compete in 2-3 years. what a future.
the sixers need embiid to be godly in order to win. baseball is much easier to compete for a title than the nba. go buy missanelli some hair dye.

Lol.
do you watch either sport?
baseball is totally random...the pos joke royals almost won the world series. in the NBA each season there are about 3-5 teams that can win the title. thats why the nba has so many dynasty's. its farging hard to be good.
Until Ryan Howard is gone, the Phillies have no future.
Who has better young talent the sixers or Phillies...simple question

the sixers. they have enough talent where they will be a good team for many years...but question is will they be a title contender? the difference is in baseball all good teams are title contenders.

So is it winning a title or competing for a title?
In the NBA, all you need is 1 legit star player to be a playoff team. Get 2 of them and a half decent supporting cast and you're a title contender. The Royals were an aboration, much like the 93 Phils. It happens from time to time.
NBA also doesn't require years of scouting and player development. Draft a guy in baseball and hopefully he's in the bigs in 2-4 years. Draft a college hoops star and he's starting on opening day 4 months later. You can also mask a players weaknesses in the NBA with good teammates (think AI being able to play passing lanes on D while better defenders like Snow would guard more on the perimeter).
It's so much easier to accumulate talent in the NBA. If you have a Thome/Choke situation in the NBA, you can still give both guys plenty of minutes. Can't do that in baseball.
Not only that, but in baseball you have to have offense, defense, at least 3 really good starting pitchers, and a quality bullpen. Just so many more holes to fill than in the NBA.
But yeah, that's def easier than finding 2 star players a 7 or 8 complimentary players.
go back over the world series champions from the last decade and let me know how many of them have "offense, defense, at least 3 really good starting pitchers, and a quality bullpen."
better yet...look at every playoff team from the last decade. some of them have it, some of them dont. point is it means nothing. anything can happen october.
in the nba, anything cant happen. the best teams and best players win. its hard. sports!

you need a top 25 all time player to win an nba title and those dont grow on trees. you dont even need a current day superstar player to win a world series.

Not a bad start....keeping ATL within distance
Hopefully ATL doesn't have their three ball game on tonight
Sixers are the ones with the long range bombs tonight
Keep it up...
Jerami Grant had a nice drive earlier too
im guessing you are at work or something and not watching it but atlanta is sitting teague millsap and carroll
I got in late...I turned it on about halfway thru the first qtr
16-4 run by ATL...sheesh
Iceeee cold shooting tonight after a little three ball run early on.

When a young team wins it's great to see them develop, when they lose it increases the lottery chances. Stick to these ideals and you'll enjoy the season more.
man you are so deep in the cult of hinkie
wins = development
losses = lotto
in 15 years from now when they are celebrating their 7th title im sure they'll look back to that win over the pacers in january 2015 as a key building block for the future. that was the moment they grew. haha.
trust me hinkie magic is on your mind way more often than all of ours combined...maybe more than all sixer fans combined....i honestly cant even remember the last time i thoguht about HM...no one is sitting around watching games and thinking man has hinkie magic done a great job with this team....you watch individual player development and dream of joe-el next year
pretty sure J, SD and the rest of the hinkie cult members are getting wet with each win....tony wroten building blocks for the future. the plan is working! they beat indiana!
SD doesnt and homer J do what homer J do

Wins are irrelevant. They win and great they won a game, they lose so what. To me there's two ways to go in sports, you're either competing for a title or you're building with young players. Mediocrity (see last 10 years of Sixers basketball) is the worst spot to be in. In a sport like Hockey it's fine because a hot team with mediocre talent can win a title, in the NBA it's better to finish with the worst record than it is to finish the 8th seed.

i clearly have the internet, HELLO, its just not fast enough for streaming. we'll get that eventually.
MCW took 29 shots to get 25 points. efficient. the sixers lost by 16 but im sure everyone grew, or something.

i give a farg
one nbadl beating another nbadl team for their 8th win of the year (8!) is meaningless. meaningless, i say.
it wasn't a nice win but the way nn and mcw played was super impressive and the teams defensive improvement last month and this has been super impressive...nn makes an incredible difference from last year to this by being able to provide rim protection and hes gotten better and better at it thruout this season which is exactly the kind of progress that im looking for....and once joe-el comes back...holy shtein no one is scoring near the basket which is huge in the nba
now they just gotta get better on the offensive end...which is admittedly going to be hard without any shooters
Nerlens said something after the game with fine ass Molly about how when teams come to Philly they better be ready. Didn't hear the whole quote bc I was on the phone but he had some attitude and...I liked it
last twenty games the cavs have one more win than the sixers....tankalot
the sixers have 3 more wins than the knicks
thats unthinkable
it is...knicks win total was 40.5
but more importantly knicks are getting worse sixers are getting better and that's what we are all in this for
Can you please remove the apostrophe from the word, "it's" in the thread title?
It's annoying.
:)
lets go!!
dubs and nn are really starting to chemistry together....especially off the high pnr
not sure what covey is worse at...finishing at the rim or defending...
he a joke in both areas
kyle singler has two pts on four shots last night...hes got 11 pts in nine minutes tonight and at least 8 of them was him completely losing covey
hollis thompson is the most worthless pos ever
don't understand bb sitting mcw for six minutes
Just turned it on...not a good start I see
this is what happens when they play a good team with a full lineup
Seems like they're sloppy with the ball tonight
I mean they are always sloppy with the ball...but tonight they have regressed back to november sixers on the defensive end...horrendous rotations...
also when the opponent is hitting half their threes and you are hitting 1 out of 10 then its not gonna end well...hollis has missed three wide open threes
and covey all by himself is 1-6 from three while his man is shooting 100% from beyond
Three ball defense has been horrid all season...
MCW had a nice and one dribble drive - that's the only good thing I can say from what I saw
actually their three point defense has been very good...again especially since the first week of december or so...in that area this is not your doug collins sixers
Must be just when I watch I see the other team nailing trey's
Nice hit by Covey
Quote from: PhillyPhreak54 on January 17, 2015, 08:55:11 PM

i dont even think its that....i think you are scarred from a few years ago when they were the worst at defending from beyond maybe ever
every game on the package just went to SD
Well that too yeah - scarred from that and from not going to the hoop and settling for outside jumpers all the goddamn time
KJ having a rough night
Can't wait for Embiid and Noel to be on the court together
where did hollis get that from?
O glass killin the sixers
Hated that sequence there...let Monroe clean up down low and then Jakar launches a bad shot
Had it down to 10
this gs rocket game is so much fun....I kinda wish the sixers weren't on
that was the worst thing ive ever seen
Hey there nice end to the third
Vomit
absolutely horrid rotations by bb tonight...why the farg is larry drew getting so much run....dubs has been the only sixer that has done any work
I can not farging wait for the day when hollis and sim city aren't on the team anymore
Yeah I don't get the rotations either. Makes zero sense.

These Detroit announcers blow. Boring and full of cliches and obvious remarks
we actually have really good seats....but not floor
yo you have the cell phone computer nba package right?....not the tv like I do....so your games haven't gone all SD tonight?
Actually my Tv broke so I'm watching it on my laptop from some feed so it's SD. Gotta go buy a new one this week. It finally gave out.
I couldn't get my directv to play on the laptop or iPhone bc it says it's not connected to my home wireless network which it is...so I don't know wtf is going on.
So I'm going bootleg feed tonight
in the middle of the game tonight....I was actually watching bulls hawks at the time it just went squiggly and then to SD.....I turned to every other station right after that and they all were and have been up until right now
luckily the game of the night is on nba tv in hd

damn really.....ive had packages forever and never seen this before....does it ever come back on the same night?
yeah its amazing how hard it is to go from hd to sd
Yeah it would always click back to HD...sometimes right away and other times within a half hour max
Watching in SD literally makes my eyes hurt
i took a shtein at work, then ever so slightly pooed myself in the car on the way back. when i got in i finished off the job. but when i checked my undies there was no poo, so maybe it was just a very wet fart.
anyway, THAT was more interesting than anything sixers related so please thank me.

Okafor is going to be a Knick...Ewing style.
i know its fun to make conspiracy theories about the nba, but the draft lotto isnt fixed and okafor isnt half the talent ewing was
hes nowhere near the defensive talent of ewing but hes light years ahead of him on the offensive end and you have to remember ewing played four years in college...okafor is obviously only going to play one

You watching on a snowy night with nothing else to do lil guy?
QuoteBrown knows it isn't a coincidence that Grant's turnaround has come during a month in which the Sixers have had a lot of home games. That's because after most home games, Grant goes from the Wells Fargo Center to the PCOM practice facility, where a security guard lets him into the empty gym.
There, often alone, he takes shot after shot, often well past midnight.
"It is a really good compass," Brown said, "as to who really loves the game."
"I was missing a lot of shots early in the season," Grant said, "so I really wanted to work on my shot, especially my 3-point shot. The easiest time to get in here is after a game, so I just come in here and work as hard as I can. It's been paying off.
"Most of the time it's just an empty gym. Sometimes K.J. will come in here with me and we'll just get some shots up. I'll do that a couple of times a week. Even in high school or college I would come to the gym after the game."
best defense of all time.

i dont think anyone has ever not cared with your kind of passion and dedication.
I may or may not have yelled loud enough to think someone was getting killed in my place on the off the backboard jam from KJ
Not sure which feed you have, but Hinkie was doing a CSN interview during that play and says "That's not part of our player development program." right after it happens
Haha no shtein ? That's funny
I am watching a bootleg GS feed
its a super athletic, super fun play
but what does it mean? this season is all about the deeper meaning. GO. EXPLAIN.
get excited

Really long but a really excellent read:
http://m.espn.go.com/nba/story?storyId=12318808
i read it this morning, its a bunch of nonsense like everything about this embarrassing franchise
either hans embiid and saric are good or none of this shtein matters.
also hinkie is a self important douchebag. get over yourself. this is a farging basketball team, not the cia.
By far the biggest take away from that piece is how much actual basketball hinkie magic watches and how much he travels...it's crazy how alike chip and hinkie magic are in terms of the culture changes and next level thinking they have imposed
Yeah agreed.
But you love Hinkie and aren't IN on Chip.
I'm in on chip the coach not chip the gm...just like I'd cringe if they made hinkie magic the sixers coach
I'm not like you where I'm in 100 on everythingy teams do....there's nuiance to my game son
lol I'm not 100% in on everything
Maybe like 88%
I'm not sure why Todd is being such a funholeface about that article. shtein, I'm not even a Sixers fan and I thought it was an interesting read.

These franchises are all-time greats. They don't change their jerseys because they don't have to change them to keep their "fans" interested in their franchises.
They all started winning when you were in high school not the other way around...it's easy to win a million titles in 1950 and start a tradition
the lakers have modified their jersey a bunch of times, but they always suck
I was a senior in high school the last time the Sixers won a championship. All-time great franchises don't typically go 30 years between titles.
Oh, and the Lakers too. Forgot them. They don't change. Don't hafta.
Edited - yeah, Todd... drastically different!

http://basketball.realgm.com/wiretap/236708/76ers-Acquire-JaVale-McGee-1st-Round-Pick-From-Nuggets
QuoteThe Philadelphia 76ers have agreed with the Denver Nuggets on a trade involving JaVale McGee.
McGee signed a four-year, $44 million contract with the Nuggets in 2012. McGee will become an unrestricted free agent in 2016.
The 76ers also will receive a first round pick from Denver that was acquired from the Cleveland Cavaliers and originally belonged to the Oklahoma City Thunder.[/quote]
my boner just busted through my pants.
top 18 protected next year and top 15 protected the two years after that
please just give me one game with javale in a sixers jersey and i will die happy.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kdb3vv-5ygI
2:40 is my favorite
ok even i love this
mcgee is retarded but hysterical. this is going to be fun. i hope him and embiid somehow play together.
no way they keep him, right?
he'll be a wizard by sunday.
Quote from: SunMo on February 19, 2015, 12:30:00 PM

In other words they should have three ones and four twos this year....at least
Muahahaha
next years lineup
PG: okafor SG: sims SF: noel PF: embiid C: mcgee
sixers also gave up Cent Akyol. uh oh.
OKC should be just good enough for the sixers to get that pick this year.
No complaints if they end up with a top 3 pick, 15, and 20.
Hahahaha
#Sixers Brown: 'I would prefer not to comment' on type of player JaVale McGee is.
12:56 PM - 19 Feb 2015
Budinger watch officially on
ESPN insider
Philadelphia: A
Sam Hinkie has spent the better part of the last year and a half renting out his cap space to other teams, and this is his biggest score -- the first time the 76ers have landed a first-round pick along with a bad contract. And it might be a fairly good one.
My most recent projections show the Thunder's first-round pick likely to fall either 18th (in which case Oklahoma City would keep it) or 19th, which would give Philadelphia the best possible pick this year given the conditions. This is also the most future salary the Sixers have taken on, and McGee's contract will cut into their cap space this summer. Philadelphia will still have enough to make a max offer, if desired, and Hinkie might be able to flip McGee for a less productive player on a similar contract and get something else out of the deal.
The only losers here are the other Sixers, since McGee's salary the rest of the season will cut into the payout they will share if Philadelphia fails to reach the salary floor by the end of the year.
QuoteThe Sixers also received the rights to Nigerian forward Chu Chu Maduabum from Denver in the JaVale McGee trade.
Ummmmmmmmm
They traded KJ to Houston?!?
And MCW?!
QuoteESPN sources: Brandon Knight to Phoenix. MCW and Tyler Ennis to Milwaukee. Isaiah Thomas and picks to Philadelphia
isaiah thomas pistons joke
so glad i didn't buy my son the MCW jersey he wanted
so thomas went to the celtics?
whats going on
yeah are the sixers getting any actual players back
i don't care much about MCW but I liked KJ for his excitement value.
who the farg is gonna run point now?
seeing that the sixers are getting a lakers pick somewhere too.
yeah i saw that, not sure how...but i read it's top 5 protected
hinkie is trying to monopolize the entire draft.
(https://pbs.twimg.com/media/B-O_vKKCIAA6F3A.png)
:-D
QuoteThe 76ers decided it was time to part ways with Michael Carter-Williams and KJ. McDaniels
The franchise sent Carter-Williams, last season's rookie of the year, to the Milwaukee Bucks as part of a three-way deal. The Sixers will receive the Los Angeles Lakers top-5 protected first round pick in this year's draft.
Meanwhile, the Sixers shipped rookie K.J. McDaniels to the Houston Rockets in exchange for Isaiah Canaan and a second-rounder.

Not happy with losing KJ
Indifferent towards MCW
I was excited about isiah Thomas until I realized he ain't coming here
i love kj but they have at least seven picks in this years draft....they could replace him three times over if they want...he made a really smart move in rejecting hinkie magic last summer....i bet JG wishes he did the same
2015:
Their own 1st (owed to Boston, but protected 1 through 14 – if not conveyed their own 2015 and 2016 seconds go instead)
1st from L.A. Lakers, possibly (protected 1 through 5 in 2015, 1 through 3 in both 2016 and 2017, and unprotected in 2018)
1st from Miami (top 10 protected; sure to be conveyed)
1st from Oklahoma City, probably (protected 1 through 18 in 2015, then 1 through 15 in both 2016 and 2017; if still not conveyed, OKC's 2018 and 2019 second rounders go instead)
2nd from Golden State (unprotected)
2nd from Denver, probably (if Denver finish with a worse record than Minnesota, which they won't, then Minnesota's 2nd is conveyed instead)
2nd from Houston (unprotected)
2nd from New Orleans (unprotected)
2nd from Orlando (unprotected)
2016:
Their own 1st
2nd from Denver (unprotected)
2017:
Their own 1st
Their own 2nd
2018:
Their own 1st
Their own 2nd
2nd from either Brooklyn or Cleveland (whichever is higher)
2nd from either L.A. Clippers or New York (whichever is higher)
2019:
Their own 1st
Their own 2nd
2nd from New York (unprotected)
2nd from either Sacramento or Milwaukee (whichever is higher)
2020:
Their own 1st
Their own 2nd
2nd from Brooklyn (unprotected)
This is some ridiculous fascinating shtein.
i don't like losing KJ but not a huge deal. if this all comes together he'd just be a solid bench guy anyway. think hell be a good fit in houston though.
and i'm totally cool with MCW gone. i like his chemistry with nerlens and all but that shot. ew.
i wanted mudiay or russell anyway, might as well get him out of the way now.

seriously
what the sixers are doing proves how stupid and gullible sports fans are. they can literally do ANYTHING and you morons would be there supporting it. hinkie trades noel and embiid for 13 8th graders? AWESOME! One of them might be LeBron James in 10 years!
the sixers are an embarrassment to professional sports and sixers fans are farging pathetic nerds. move the team to newark, please.
but before that trade your picks in 2015 for a top 3 pick in 2016, then package that and your pick and your 10 2nd rounders for the top pick in 2018. then use that to acquire 10 picks in the 2021 draft, then package those and some 12 year old for every pick in the 2025 draft. then use those to get a top 3 pick in each of the 2027, 2028 and 2029 drafts. then trade those for the #1 pick in the 2031 and 2032 drafts. then AND IT WILL NEVER STOP

you got it backwards, young buck
kj deemed the sixers not worthy OF HIM
lil guy ranting about sheep on this thread was a -2250 favorite
I just filled my coworkers in on KJ and his crazy moms
Make no mistake, this is the greatest day of Todd's life. So much indignant internet rant fodder. He might be the only one with a throbbier erection than Matt.
i literally screamed in my car and slammed my phone down when i saw on twitter what happened
hinkie angers me to no end, but the disgusting MA fan base of this team -- or whats left of it -- is insulting. the sixers have the 2nd lowest ratings in the league, so really, whoever is left giving a shtein about this trainwreck is going to be the most extreme homer out there.
Literally screamed.
Neat.
just friend requested you on FB
lil guy said to me last night that farg nn get okafor....as if they play remotely the same position or are remotely the same kind of player and have any bearing on each other

yeah not really....trust me im pissed hinkie magic moved him but the sixers have more money than god....they could have easily signed him if they thought he was good enough...he clearly doesn't think hes worth what the market is gonna pay him this summer
these moves are interesting because its the first time hes traded away legit talent that could come back and bite him....meaning we will see his actual basketball knowledge in effect not just some on paper plan about acquiring draft picks....if jason kidd turns mcw into a legit efficient playoff series winning nba pg or if kj turns into a starting nba wing player down the road then hinkie magic will deserve to get criticized...of course it also depends on how he replaces these pieces but the point is we will get to see in black and white hinkies ability to evaluate nba players
he traded mcw for muiday/russell....we will see next fall
I'm interested to see if Kidd can help MCW grow. That may be the perfect coach for him.
he can certainly teach him things like how to better guard the pnr shot selection defense....but he isn't going to be able to teach him how to shoot
yeah because kidd couldn't shoot either. i said this to someone today but yeah i think he's the perfect coach for MCW.
bucks have a real solid future right now with that roster.

i can guarantee those teams wouldn't trade the rookie of the year for a small chance at a top pick
the lakers are likely NOT going to fall out of the top 5 this year. in 15-16, they will have: kobe, julius randle, top 5 pick, $$$ for FA, and the utter desperation to put a decent production on the court since this is LA and nobody is patient for anything.
so really the sixers traded mcw for what will turn out to be a pick in the teen's. awesome sauce, hinkie. dont stop believing, sheep. winning is just around the corner...in a few years.....
Hinkie mic dropped his press conference in a where's Wallace fashion
"Where's Eskin? I'm here."

"Rookie of the year"...the same year Anthony Bennett went #1 overall. That draft class is horrendous...he was ROY by default. He has nice intangibles but he can't shoot worth shtein and his D his bad.
Your second half I 100% agree with. If the pick is not a lottery pick this is a bad move.
it's top 5 protected this year, what about next year?
top 3
but i just dont see the lakers being that bad next year. who knows if theyll make the playoffs, but they are definitely going to try really hard to.
yeah kobe coming off of shoulder surgery taking up most of their cap, brian shaw coaching and no other discernable talent...the lakers should be pretty good next year
they owe kobe a ton but thats really it
http://hoopshype.com/salaries/la_lakers.htm
again, they have randle, a top 5 pick and will have some $$$ to spend. they dont want to keep losing and they know they wont have a 1st round pick. its easy to see how they will try very hard to win next season.
lakers are going to be awful next year....Kobe a hundred years old coming off three straight season ending injuries and is a cancer to the point that no one in the nba wants to play with him
The rest of the roster is an abomination
Oh they are also in the west
There's more chance the pick is protected than that it's not in the top ten
Quote from: ice grillin you on February 20, 2015, 12:32:57 PMOh they are also in the west
yea thats what leads me to believe it will still be a lotto pick...just not in the top 5. we're a year away and a ton can happen, but the lakers do not want to be irrelevant for another year.
anyway they cleared out mcw to get muiday/russell and picked up an extra pick in the process. hinkie is a genius!
He didn't think mcw was the answer at the point....absolutely no reason to keep him...whether he's right about his future as a player we will see but especially at that position there's no need to prolong it one day further than you need to
So you keep acquiring picks to raise your odds of hitting on players that will be in your future plans...we are a mere 16 months into this...still the baby step stage...strap in and enjoy the ride

i get why he did it....i just dont enjoy being sold a bunch of empty promises by a guy with no track record of success who decided yesterday that the talent he did pick wasnt good actually good enough for his grand master plan
so instead all we have is draft picks that might or might not pan out in decent players, an injured big man and a piece of eurotrash. you can see my skepticism.

Funny how when Chip doesn't think Pimp is the answer, he gets crucified for releasing him, yet when Hinkie does the same thing with MCW, it's all good with you.

youve been j levels of homer for hinkie, so of course you think this way. let me explain this as simply as possible: the lakers play in LA. that town sucks. its all about what have you done for me lately, who is IN now. the clippers have beyond trumped the lakers. the lakers want the city back. they cant stay irrelevant for long. they will try to win next year. i never said they will be successful at it. but they will try. there is no guarantee that pick is going to be a good one.

i can handle this one for daddy
chip cut pimp because pimp didnt drink his smoothies or wear his sleep monitor or stay after practice to make pancakes or whatever team building nonsense they had. it was 100% about pimp the person, not pimp the player. its debatable if that strategy -- culture over scheme -- is the correct one.
hinkie let go of mcw because he didnt think he was good enough at basketball. its debatable if that decision -- mcw over muiday/russell -- will be the correct one.

Oh and by the way... you're partly wrong about the player aspect . Chip wants big receivers, not fly swatters. Pimp's wannabe gang banger aspirations were a big reason, though.
And I still think it was a mistake to cut him. Just FTR.
please stop feeding him

Funny how when Chip doesn't think Pimp is the answer, he gets crucified for releasing him, yet when Hinkie does the same thing with MCW, it's all good with you.
You're an enigma wrapped in a riddle, Sir.
holy crap worst analogy EVER
after five years pimp proved himself IN THE NFL as the biggest playmaker in the league....mcw thus far is a turnover machine who cant shoot in his second year....if mcw was russel westbrook or chris paul then hinkine would deserve to be castrated
also hinkie got a first round pick for mcw....remind me again what chip got for pimp?....its escaping me now
he got nothing but it freed up a spot for riley cooper to start

Kelly cut bait on Jackson and Hinkie cut bait on MCW. You approve of one and not the other despite both players being excellent. The ancillary issues are irrelevant.

Sixers signed Ish Smith. Hinkie changed his mind on tanking.

Igy's first cuzzo Angelo "the voice of the people" Cataldi weighs in...
http://www.phillyvoice.com/no-idea-what-sam-hinkie-doing-neither-does-he/
He actually uses the "what do I tell my son" argument!
The little boy with a Michael Carter-Williams jersey will never understand why his favorite player is not a Sixer anymore. How are we supposed to explain to a child what "optionality" is?
Last week, in his latest venture into a murky future, GM Sam Hinkie traded the NBA rookie of the year because he wanted more options. In Hinkie's twisted world, the correct term is "optionality" – the process of turning the known into the unknown, a tangible reality into a vague new promise. Or something like that.
In case you missed my previous remarks in this space about Sam Hinkie, here is a synopsis: He is the biggest fraud I have ever encountered during my 40 years in sports media.
Sam Hinkie never saw Carter-Williams as a 23-year-old point guard still learning his craft. Carter-Williams is a real person, with all of his flaws and eccentricities. Hinkie prefers blank spaces on future draft boards because they never throw the ball out of bounds or miss an open three-point shot. Analytics is theoretical. Real life is not.
In case you missed my previous remarks in this space about Sam Hinkie, here is a synopsis: He is the biggest fraud I have ever encountered during my 40 years in sports media. He is a charlatan, a snake-oil salesman. He is the Pied Piper of the young and the naïve, people who are not savvy enough to spot the con.
To these cultists, nothing can penetrate their admiration for a man who has accomplished nothing, a mysterious figure with a network of enablers who are hypnotized by his elusiveness. Through it all, none of these people – my most recent Internet poll had his number of admirers at 52 percent – has any interest in simple logic.
The real story of the Carter-Williams trade was that it involved a player Hinkie himself had drafted. Didn't the GM's extensive analytics research reveal that Carter-Williams was not much of an outside shooter? There was no computer analysis that revealed a tendency to turn the ball over? These flaws were not evident 21 months ago?
When Hinkie traded his own hand-picked point guard at the deadline last week, he revealed two things he would prefer to hide for as long as possible. The first is that his ability to evaluate talent is vastly overrated. And the second is that he has no actual plan to rebuild the team.
How can I be so sure? Well, let's start with the basic ingredient in every rebuilding plan, the players. Does Hinkie have any specific college stars in mind right now? No, doesn't know where he will pick in the lottery this year, and even less of a notion of whom, or even what year, all of these future picks will be.
Plus, all rebuilding plans need a timetable. Hinkie used more than 300 words to say nothing when asked for a date when the team will be a contender again.
The follow-up question was: How will we know?
"We'll all know," he said.
And so it goes, one insultingly vague answer after another, spouted in a mumbo-jumbo style by a man asking for blind faith in a city of cynics. Of course, in Hinkie's analytics world, there are no doubters. A carpetbagger who emerges from his cocoon a few times a year, he even has the audacity now to imply an intimacy with the fans.
"Our fans understand that what we are trying to do is build something great, " he said.
Not really. The father of the little boy with a Michael Carter-Williams jersey called my WIP radio show last Friday. He doesn't understand at all what Sam Hinkie is trying to do.
"What do I tell my son?" he asked me. "What am I supposed to do now?"
PEOPLE HAVE BEEN GETTING TRADED FOR YEARS!! Was this Hoyda who called in to ask what to tell his kid (and he's a Hoyda who should have a vasectomy immediately) around when other Philadelphia players were traded? Jesus tapdancing Christ!
lil guy will love this though. Especially the worship part.
That Canaan 3 was sick
sheep j playing into the philly voice's hands with his #hotsportstake reaction
btw now that i am up early again i am listening to the legend and am being reminded of why he is the best. sure his knowledge is minimal and his opinions worthless, but the man can entertain.
Joel draining 3s from out of bounds in Milwaukee (https://twitter.com/Sixers/status/570742516766478337)
last year the bucks were worse than the sixers
now they are a playoff team and most of it was done without their #2 pick. but sam hinkie is the genius, not the team with the jail bait owners daughter
Wolves puttin it on the bullets in a gigantic result for the sixers
Last year was an aberration for the bucks....they basically have been a 25-35 win team for 15 years....sixers been there and done that....shtein sixers were a game away from the conference finals a couple years ago....sixers could have kept erkel Thad etc and got the six seed this year....that ain't their goal tho
I mean my god five people from this board could get the six seed in the east
Hideous trolling or idiotic comparison....either like I've said a million times stay away from the nba
mcw
greek freek
jabari
top 20 pick
vs.
?
ill take the former
but youve stated you are all about promise and potential and the "what could be's" and that's all the sixers are so go for it.
you are stupid but yeah i'd actually take the bucks squad over the sixers and their picks right now too.
they gonna be real good soon.
Not a chance in hell I'd take the bucks over the sixers.....but you love Parker and I dont
Joe el
Nerlens
mudiay\okafor
Two top twenty picks this yr
Saric
Two top ten picks next year
Four second rounders this year
Too many other future picks to mention
shtein be crazy
i still think the sixers after the draft are solid. but just saying, bucks have a better core right now. i'd take the magic young guys right now over the sixers also.
i mean the plan is for that all to change in a few months but i need to see faces.
also i'm all in for mudiay. i thought you were a russell guy.
You have to count the sixers picks that's part of it
Im Russell right now but a lot of that is because I get to see him play real games....I just listed mudiay because just randomly using him and okafor as examples...shtein they could end up with towns
as always draft picks >>> actual existing players
who doesnt want to be in the sixers position? they are chock full of players who MIGHT be good in 5 years.
and milwaukee is full of players who might win them 40 games one year
plus lol at not counting draft picks but counting milwaukees top 20 pick this year as 1/4th of their awesome future...they also have jabari parker who with that top 20 pick makes up half their asset list you posted...you've discounted embiid and nerlens with the sixers cause of injuries but now jabari parker is a huge piece?...embiid has one thousand times the upside parker has or anyone else on their list...in fact id rather have embiid than mcw parker and their top 20 pick this year...just because he has a chance to be a superstar where as the others do not
also gotta remember milwaukee has been spinning their wheels trying to be good for 15 years....sixers started a rebuild 16 months ago...lets judge the sixers in five years...and to be fair milwaukee needs more time as well
they could be where milwaukee is if they wanted....erkel....thad...jeru...a couple other middling players and they are fighting the bucks for the coveted six seed right now
I don't even dislike where milwaukee is at but imo its nuts to rather be them moving forward
I'm out on Okafor as the top pick. Not impressed. Plays no defense and won't get away with how often he hooks people. He backs down people so frequently because you can't defend the same way with your forearm in ncaas. That won't happen in the NBA. I think he'll be good but not great unless he develops some outside game.
im in for Russell.
Quote35. Joel Embiid
One of these six points about 20-year-old Jo-Jo is NOT true:
• Broke his foot last summer, hasn't started scrimmaging yet.
• Provoked the relatively recent headline "Questions surround Embiid's conditioning, maturity."
• Inspired the relatively recent quote "A source said he's close to 300 pounds," which was seemingly refuted by this seemingly encouraging footage of him seemingly defending Nerlens Noel.
• When you bring up the Oden-Embiid parallels to Sam Hinkie, he immediately starts sobbing like he just watched the end of Big Hero 6.
• If you threw Jo-Jo in the 2015 draft, he'd still get picked in the top four overall.
• If you're selling your Jo-Jo stock, I'm buying.
Speaking of the Sixers, Grantland's Rafe Bartholomew had the best take on Philly's never-ending spin cycle of assets and lottery picks, which hasn't led to anything remotely tangible yet: He believes that Hinkie is running the NBA's first pyramid scheme. Good news, everyone: I flipped some ambiguously tangible assets for a few less-tangible ambiguous assets with a slightly greater ceiling, only it's going to take even longer for us to turn this around, so GET YOUR SEASON TICKET MONEY IN NOW. Just change his name to Sam Ponzi. And change the Sixers logo to this.
so perfect
Ok so 2 and 3 say the same thing, which is then refuted at the end of 3. 4 is obviously a joke. 5 and 6 are actually calling him a stud. But yeah the first one is correct, he did break his foot. Amazing analysis.

lol
the first is also misleading....saying he isn't scrimmaging cause his foot isn't healing properly or something....he actually could scrimmage and in fact could come back this year just as nn could have last year but the sixers a. don't wanna rush a young player for no reason and b. don't want to win right now
also that was written over a month ago I think
furthermore the 300 lb stuff cracks me up....as if joe-el is some recluse in hiding eating his way into oblivion amongst these swirling rumors
ayo investigative journalists.....who hoo over here.....you can see joe-el EVERY day on the sixer practice court and every night on their bench...you don't have to talk to "sources" to know whether hes 300+ lbs.....he clearly isn't and never was....and don't tell anyone else this but you can find it out by ummm looking at him
Don't rain on mds hate parade
the level of stockhinkie syndrome you guys have is outrageous. j had stockeddiejordan syndrome too so its like whatever....but my man havas is just on a different planet
where is the man who doesnt think the 2008 world series mattered!?! where is that man.
this has nothing to do with hinkie.....this has to do with looking at someone and knowing approx. what they weigh
if you didn't think hinkie should have drafted joe-el then that's a debate we can have
but quoting sources about the weight of a guy we see every single day is the outrageous part....hinkie haters like you are one million times more delusional and misinformed than hinkie defenders...and the joe-el weight thing is a textbook example
"what do you mean they won?"

That article is terrible. Sharp spends all of it equivocating so he has all of his bases covered. This is dumb but Hinkie is so smart so don't bet against him! Hinkie develops no one, but he traded KJ who he developed! Plus I think he's arguing against a false narrative. Lots of people acknowledge that the likelihood is that this doesn't work -- it's just better than the alternative.
If you want to craft an article taking down what the Sixers are doing, fine, but at least present some alternative to the Sixers post-Bynum that isn't "well, you never know what could happen because they could've gotten lucky with trades."
i don't even think it was a hit piece and I actually agree with much of what he wrote...but I couldn't agree more about him being all over the farging map to the point that he end ups arguing with himself for a lot of it....but that's a ton of grantland articles

he could have not traded the rookie of the year?
but anyway the point is valid. hinkie is just endlessly searching for kevin durant. its impossible to do that. the clippers, albeit a terrible organization, were horrible for over a decade and never accidentally drafted a good player. other teams, as described in the story, did.
the rockets tried really hard and got lucky. so did the celtics. the spurs lucked in tim duncan. its insanely hard to be good in the nba, and im not sure hinkie is really increasing their chances.
the more assets you stockpile the better chance you have of being good....what % chance that is you can argue about but not the fact itself....and hinkie magic is collecting a shtein ton of assets
you still have to hit on a draft pick or two who become championship quality starting players and/or trade for one or two and/or sign one or two...and we don't know yet what hinkie magics player evaluation level is...that's the big question mark

Most stories surrounding the Philadelphia 76ers this year have been pretty negative, ranging from how close they came to having the worst start to a season in NBA history, all the way up to their somewhat confusing trade deadline moves two weeks ago. In the midst of all that, however, Nerlens Noel has turned what was a relatively slow start into a solid rookie season.
Since the All-Star break, Noel has averaged 12.1 points, 9.0 rebounds, 2.0 assists, 2.0 steals, and 3.5 blocks through eight games, while shooting 46.4% from the field and 75.0% from the free throw line (up from a pre-All-Star split of 44.5% and 56.1%). Those numbers are absolutely bonkers for an NBA player of any experience level, let alone for a rookie.
Especially when we're talking about a relatively unproven rookie coming back from an ACL tear and subsequent surgery. Noel -- the sixth pick in the 2013 NBA Draft -- missed the entirety of what would've been his first season in 2013-14 while recovering from said injury, which he suffered in college while playing for the Kentucky Wildcats.
A bumpy start to this season was to be expected when you consider the nature of how returns to basketball usually go after such an injury, combined with the layoff and usual obstacles that come with being an unseasoned first-year NBAer. Even so, Noel has only missed four Sixers games this season, starting 53 of the 57 he's played, and averaging 30.6 minutes per game in the process.
His full-season averages are pretty excellent, even with his early-season feeling-it-out period dragging them down ever so slightly. On the year as a whole, Noel is averaging 8.8 points, 7.4 rebounds, 1.7 assists, 1.6 steals, and 1.9 blocks per contest while shooting 44.8% from the floor and 61.4% from the line. He leads all rookies in rebounds, steals, and blocks, while coming in second in scoring behind Andrew Wiggins.
In fact, those defensive and rebounding numbers put him in some pretty elite company. Here's the complete list of NBA rookies that have ever averaged Noel's rebound, steal, and block numbers as a baseline.
David Robinson 24 1989-90 36.6 24.3 53.1% 73.2% 12.0 2.0 1.7 3.9
Nerlens Noel 20 2014-15 30.6 8.8 44.8% 61.4% 7.4 1.7 1.6 1.9
That's right. We're talking one of the game's most legendary centers and Noel as the only ones to do it. Obviously Noel's line doesn't come anywhere close to David "The Admiral" Robinson's rookie season (which, by the way, holy crap), but his efforts this year shouldn't get buried by the Sixers' general ineptness, nor by Andrew Wiggins' flashier campaign.
The Rookie of the Year honor typically goes to a first-year player who puts up big numbers in points, assists, and rebounds, more so than someone who has a big impact on his team in more subtle ways or on the defensive end (see Carter-Williams, Michael). This fact makes Wiggins and his 15.9 points per game seem like a relative shoo-in for the award, and he'll admittedly be deserving if he earns it.
That said, the Sixers have gone from being our 26th-ranked defense last season (with a Defensive Rating of 109.9) to the 13th-ranked team on our NBA Team Rankings this year (with a Rating of 105.1). Noel is clearly a big part of that swing, considering the Sixers allow a mere 100.2 points per 100 possessions when he's on the floor this year (compared to 105.2 when he's off) and that he only allows opponents to shoot 45.8% at the rim in 9.0 shots per game (the second lowest percentage among players that face that many attempts, behind only Serge Ibaka.
Philadelphia GM Sam Hinkie has shown that he's more than willing to move warm bodies for picks, just like he did recently with last year's Rookie of the Year, the aforementioned Michael Carter-Williams. One would have to imagine, however, that Noel will be the first major building block to make Hinkie's whole plan start making sense going forward.
If Nerlens continues to impress, if Joel Embiid and Dario Saric can join the Sixers and live up to their potential, and if one or more of the Sixers' 100 picks (give or take) in the next few years hits, this Sixers team could be really scary in a year or seven.
That's a lot of ifs, but amidst another depressing rebuilding season in Philadelphia, Nerlens Noel is the one bright spot that makes discussions of that nature seem closer to possibility than fantasy. At least Sixers fans have that.
the okc game was the first one i watched at any length this season. man what a game it was. the team is fun to watch. tons of energy. sure they need to get embiid and saric out on the floor but anybody that watched that game has to see there is some promise for the future.
well that was the best game of the year to watch so don't get too used to it.
Great read on NN.

there also was probably one player (possibly two with JG) on the roster who will be around when and if they are ever challenging for a title
http://vine.co/v/OEKxv2pHlmj
I've got a semi
NN and Embiid in the future?
Can't overstate how impressed I've been with NN recently. I have complete confidence that he'll develop a solid 12 ft shot considering his FT improvement. I'm actually most concerned about defensive rebounding as I think he turns and watches too much and doesn't seem to have a great feel for where the ball is going.
molly looking fine tonight.

fyi - 100 percent sixers lose that heat pick
kill me now
Ha - love that picture.
I love that the kid has a Jason Richardson jersey.
claimed Glenn Robinson III off waivers
nerlens having an all time great steals season....got three more at halftime
Getting excited about this NN situation. This is exactly how I wanted it to go. Coming on strong at the end of the season, establishing himself as a defensive force. Becoming less of a disgrace on offense. Not good enough at the beginning of the season to interfere with the tank.
Can't wait to see the twin towers.
holy farg nn
clean steal from teague then a beautiful underhand left handed scoop at the other end
jesus another amazing steal by him...hes everywhere
pretty horrible win tonight tho
be even worse if the knicks hold on to win and for that matter the wolves
Another exciting game.
NN is growing up right before our eyes.
draft pick watch
knicks lose
wolves win
heat tied in OT
bullets down 4 late third to the greatest team ever put together
my thumb hurts
thank god heat win a great game in ot
bullets and greatest team ever assembled tied with four left
nn: "I'm a young player in this league, and I want to establish myself. I want to play hard for the city of Philly and continue to get better."

A few pages back he said the Sixers should have taken Exum. Todd has a lot to answer for
Only if you ever took him seriously to begin with
exum has nothing to do with NN....different drafts
i made fun of NN like everyone else but again the sixers arent even playing real basketball right now. the evaluation of every player is meaningless until they actually put a decent product on the court and lord knows when hinkie is going to attempt to do that.
Quote from: MDS on March 08, 2015, 05:48:11 PM

No shtein, I was piling it on. You still haven't answered for Exum who you would have taken over Embiid.
i still would
embiid isnt lasting in the nba
he wanted mcbuckets too
and lol at not being able to evaluate nba players in nba games unless of course you are the Milwaukee bucks whose players are all the best
Embiid clips give me a mini erection, thinking about him paired up with NN, Saric, and possibly Russell or Mudiay in the backcourt gives me a full one.
embiid has tons of talents, no doubt.
but im not drafting a guy who has played basketball for 3 years and been seriously hurt for 3 years. 2 of which were at the farging high school level. he was a bench player on kansas for the first half of last season. hes a 7 footer with knee and back issues. these things dont magically get better.
you may think the risk of embiid being bynum part II are worth it if he turns out to be dream II. i just see the chances of embiid being an mvp-type player too small. i would have rather taken someone like exum, or whoever you thought was the next best available player.
p.s. i was fine with the saric thing, so long as a player was taken with the 3 that could play. tanking, then drafting 2 guys who werent going to even step on the court is a fairly big insult to your customer base. but you guys are OK with being treated like garbage. i mean, look how many of you raced back to the NHL after all the work stoppages. sheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeep

clap your haaaaannnds....everybodeeee....
QuotePHILADELPHIA — Joel Embiid's "minor setback" has quickly turned into a small step forward.
Coach Brett Brown told the media prior to the 76ers' Wednesday night game against the Bulls that Embiid's visit with Dr. Richard Ferkel Tuesday in Los Angeles resulted in the injured center being able to remove the boot from his surgically repaired right foot. He is permitted to dunk and he can increase his workouts to 60 minutes.
"It's healing at the rate that we expected," Brown said. "I'm just here to report that everything's on track. He has come back being allowed to do more than he used to before the visit."
But lil guy said....
man i thought malik was such a big dummy when he started but he's so good now. i mean he still says some dumb things every now and then but he's one of the better color guys in the league now. i'd like to drink a few with him.

I just wanna win 18 so I get caked off
Robinson is playing his ass off. Love watching him and NN
robinson sucks
Scrapper. A role player who they need to keep
you are useless in todays nba as a power forward if you cant shoot or block shots and he cant do either
He's a vacuum cleaned for rebounds. He's a solid bench guy I think
trust me hes not and wont be on the team next year
Not Reggie Evans Jr?
i mean thats not a bad comparison...hes def more athletic but his skill set is more or less the same...but nba is a totally different game than even when reggie evams was pulling down 20 boards a game
yeah robinson is garbage. i'm starting to think that canaanballs may prove to be a solid points off the bench guy eventually. looks like he might actually have a nice stroke.
i'd say on this roster, nerlins and joel are the only definite pieces, grant and roco probables, and wroten and canaanballs maybes. i hate that jakarr gets so much play, such a piece of shtein.

it's almost as if there's a secret on the team, let the opponent get up by 20, come back just to prove that you can, then let them win it in the end for that sweet draft pick.
yes i'm joking but i've never seen a terrible team go on so many 10-0 or 15-0 runs.

QuoteThe highlights are compelling, and so are the numbers. When trying to solve a riddle like "Who's the NBA's best point guard?" we use the data, and what our eyes tell us. But who better to educate us on that subject than the people forced to compete and strategize against those men every night?
We asked 25 NBA folks -- a combination of executives, coaches and players -- to rank the point guards in the NBA from 1 to 30. The results of that poll are below, along with a sampling of thoughts from those who answered our survey:
kings vintage jerseys tonight are superb
70-63 sixers with eight minutes left

Obviously trying to keep hope alive of the Magic catching the Lakers. But yeah, both teams could pass the Sixers at this point. Might be time to pump the brakes on wishing for Magic losses.
I'm more unclear about why Sacramento over NO is a five star result. Sure we don't want the Pelicans to end up with more wins than the Thunder, but the difference is 3.5 games at this point, and I'm more worried about the Thunder thinking they have the 8 seed secured down the stretch and getting passed by the Wizards.

Ish Smith said today that when he watches Joel Embiid, he sees him mastering guard moves that he's still trying to figure out himself.
According to ESPN's Basketball Power Index, the 76ers have a 17 percent chance to finish the season with one first-round selection, a 58 percent chance to finish with two, a 23 percent chance to finish with three and a 2 percent chance to finish with all four.
basketball-reference.com generates similar numbers.
I don't know how nerd numbers work but that just isnt right from a real world perspective
Pure math gives them a 17% chance of just getting the lakers pick forget the other two
Here are common sense odds
50% to get the heat pick
17% to get the laker pick
0% chance at the thunder pick

ESPN is saying that there is a 17% chance of the Sixers only having their own pick, not only one pick among the remaining three.
The reference site breaks it down to:
20.2% chance to get Lakers
76.7% chance to get Heat
10.2% chance to get Thunder
These are based on simulations. I would revise them a little lower because the computer simulations don't take a team intentionally throwing games to preserve draft picks into account.
Oh I see they did it backwards...which is kind of silly....who cares what the chances are at getting just their own pick...all anyone cares about is what the chances are at getting the other teams picks
Btw 10% at the Thunder puck is incredibly generous....that pick is all but gone
QuoteMichael Carter-Williams
The Bucks acquired Carter-Williams in February. Why? Scholars remain unsure. It's easy to argue that Carter-Williams is the least efficient volume shooter playing in the NBA. Consider these two facts:
• Carter-Williams is the only player to take at least 200 midrange shots and make fewer than 30 percent of them.
• Of the 202 NBA players who have attempted at least 100 3s, Carter-Williams ranks 200th in field goal percentage.
In other words, he's not quite Mark Price.
The Bucks hope that Jason Kidd, who knows a thing or two about fixing a crooked jumper, can inspire the Carter-Williams reconstruction project. While there's little doubt that improvements are possible, the current state is quite bleak: Jump-shooting guards have never been more important in the NBA, and Carter-Williams is a horrid shooter from virtually every spot on the floor.

If you're wondering why the odds of the Lakers went up slightly after losing to the Clippers, the reasons are boring. Suffice it to say that the loss didn't matter very much.
Guys guys. Common sense math trumps math math 9 times out of five.
Math.
VORP math isn't real math and either is most sports math
Love QB but he doesn't watch the nba he watches people online theorize about the nba
you seem to know a lot about what people you dont know do
Well when they post stuff straight off the net it's not hard to decipher...plus QB has never been an nba fan....he's a Pittsburgh dood who wants the sixers to do well...which honestly is better than most of you
Casual NBA fan. I much prefer the NBA to CBB but only occasionally watch non-Sixers games. I've been watching the ends of close games that affect the Sixers draft. NFL obsessive way ahead of everything else. Even this time of year I'm paying more attention to the NFL than the other three leagues combined.
Not a "Pittsburgh dood" much longer, will probably be in Rip City before the end of the year. Can't say I ever felt like much of a Pittsburgher since the yinzers are very parochial and it's clear to them I'm not from here originally.
I just can't stand outfits like number Fire and shut who plug meaningless shtein into a computer that spits out absurd numbers
If the Lakers finish 4th and the lottey I'd not rigged then yes real math says they have a 17% chance to get the pick...but this 70+% the other day and still now over 60% to get the Miami pick is ridiculous as was the 10% to get the thunder pick
Also on a diff note thst dope bodner within the last week was still rooting for Miami losses
Biggest game of the season thus far tonight when Chicago goes to Miami...this is pretty easily miamis toughest game left and with no other contenders playing tonight they can pick up a game on everyone then sit back and watch them all tomorrow nite while they wait for Toronto on Saturday...btw game is on tnt
Next week they have Orlando at home and incredibly finish the year at the wock....I'd like them to clinch the pick for the sixers before then however my morbid curiosity would like to witness the epic blatant in your face tank job the sixers would do that night

The numbers for the Miami and OKC picks aren't any more ridiculous than the 17% to get the Lakers pick. They are basic Monte Carlo simulations and are the best way to predict the complicated interactions of a lot of different teams. [I'm sure their model assumes all teams are trying to win games, which is why I said I think the odds are a bit high.] The same kinds of simulations are used to design and analyze the engineering of technologies and infrastructure you rely on every day. Running them on sports is even easier because sports produce a very predictable distribution of results. This actually isn't VORP-ish type of math in my opinion. It's just the consequence of knowing that better teams beat worse teams a certain percentage of the time (which varies by sport and by how large the gap is between the teams), and additional factors that can be shown to have large effects on outcome.
By the way, the odds of getting the Heat pick are now above 80% and the Thunder pick is a mere 1.6%. Maybe as a sports pessimist you see the Heat as currently in the #10 spot and think that's crazy. But all it takes is one of four teams who are right there to drop below them, and humans tend to underestimate how much of an effect adding extra teams and games into the mix can have (see: teasers).
Agreed about Bodner though. He seems to think getting 11 instead of 16 is more important than getting the pick at all.
They are ridiculous because they are so wrong and it's a bunch stuff that you don't need to put in a computer to figure out
The lakers number isn't ridiculous because it's based on simple math due to the number of ping pong balls available
The NBA draft lottery uses a random number generator with weighted inputs. That's exactly what a Monte Carlo simulation does. One is a ping pong ball machine and one is a computer. If you ran either one a billion times you'd get pretty close to the exact mathematical odds.
The only difference is that the weighting of the inputs to the ping pong machine is precisely defined and the weighting of the inputs to the simulator is determined from data mined from 10s of thousands of NBA games and found to have predictive power.

i agree that the computer has as much chance at picking games as the lottery balls....but neither know anything about basketball....particularly games that have not yet been played
not even an crazy amazing play but the writeup had me laughing.

QuoteFirst of all, the audacity of that #8 to try and reach on big Dario. THAT'S HOW YOU GET PUT IN THE SPIN CYCLE, SON. Do they even have washing machines in Lithuania? Big D shakes off #8 like a gnat, then picks his enormous Croatian head up to find some sneaky, skinny dude slippin' backdoor for the jammy-jam. And then the skinny dude does a chin-up on the rim! Love you, skinny dude! That's how you finish a Croatian look-away!
Good piece on the team with amazingly not a single hinkie Magic quote....that guy is something else

go teams in bold tonight...first five are most important as they have to do with the miami pick....timbo's game is for an outside shot of the sixers moving up to the two hole
charlotte at atlanta
boston at cleveland
indianapolis at detroit
washington at brooklyn
memphis at utah
minnesota at lakers
biggest game of the night for the sixers gonna go down to the wire....pistons lead by 6 with seven minutes left
Memphis with a nice 8-1 run to take the lead in Utah....need this game to avoid a 1-5 night when it comes to getting the heat pick

minnesota at lakers - pending but probably doesn't matter
holy shtein this Memphis game is not over....they switched a foul call to a jump ball....Utah won the jump then with no time left on the clock down three gordan hawyward fouled (wasn't really a foul) taking a three.....needs three foul shots with no time left to send into ot....nutso

is doug mcdermott still in the league? i was wondering since the sixers should have taken him over saric
nn shutting down
QuoteThe Sixers rookie won't play after spraining his ankle Wednesday. Said coach Brett Brown: "It's a legitimate sprain and I'm still nervous. I don't know if this means his season is finished."

One dude who I appear wrong about who I wanted with the 2nd pick was Stauskas. Athletic and could shoot deep off the dribble ... not so much.

time will tell
i still dont see jhe playing with any kind of consistency in the nba, but i hope im wrong and his significant back and foot issues will magically get better even though hes played basketball for 5 seconds and been injured for 4 of them
so after last night everything is pretty much settled
sixers are gonna finish third which means they can end up anywhere between 1 and 6 - they will have a 15% chance of getting 1, 2 or 3, a 22% chance of getting 4, a 26% chance of getting 5 and a 4% chance of getting 6 - in other words buckle yourself in real tight on lottery night
the laker pick will have a 19% chance of falling out of the top 5.....could be a lot worse and if this wasn't Philadelphia id have some real hope - if they don't get this pick it becomes a top three protected 2016 johnson
miami pick will be protected at 10 giving the sixers a 9% chance of getting it - not good which means this pick is going to again be a top 10 protected pick next year
thunder pick will be top 15 protected next year

theres athletic and then theres athletic for white people.....people like staukus and dekker are athletic for white people not really athletic
miles plumlee is an example of a legit athletic white guy...but they are really rare
Stauskas had legit measurables though - don't mean to say he's an elite NBA athlete but he seemed like someone whose athleticism wouldn't limit him like it does with some other lure shooters. He also could create his own shot way better than someone like mcbuckets. I just expected him, at a minimum, to be a solid off the bench shooter/instant offense guy.
oh yeah def
staukas isn't a sloth by any means like mcbuckets but he was never getting his in the nba and was never gonna be able to guard wings in the league...he has to shoot really well to get in a rotation....basically being a poor mans kyle korver is his way to get minutes

#10 Miami 35-44 = TOR, ORL, @PHI
#11 Utah 36-43 = @POR, DAL, @HOU
#12 Indiana 36-43 = OKC, WSH, @MEM
This might come down to the Sixers tanking that last game
all that's irrelevant because miami is essentially eliminated from playoff contention and don't want to win.....indy and utahs skeds are meaningless....this isn't about those three teams is about miami and the playoffs
theres not a chance miami is missing the playoffs and losing their pick
Miami is pretty much locked into #10 now unless they win their last two and Indy or Utah loses both of theirs, then it comes down to a coin flip to decide #10/#11
Best case scenario: the Sixers, a #5-#9 team (ORL/SAC/DEN/DET/CHA) and an #11-#14 team (UTA/IND/PHX/OKC) all jump into the top 3, which knocks the Lakers to #6 and the Heat to #11 ..... which has zero chance of happening
Worst case scenario: the Lakers and two other teams from #4-#10 all jump into the top 3, leaving the Sixers with only the #6 pick

Thanks to NY blowing the top lottery spot, the Sixers still have a shot at #2. NY hosts Detroit on Wednesday
Utah is out for #10, but with the BKs choking hard against the Bulls, Miami is still alive for both #11 and #15
Knicks loss was indeed good....not so much for the sixers cause they are getting three but because the Knicks are vile and bad things happening to them is always good
Brook did not choke....they lost to a far superior team and Miami is not not getting ten....this has been known since Friday
scenario 1 (coin flip for pick):
1. orlando beats brooklyn tommorow
2. heat beat sixers tommorow
3. indy wins one of its final two games (bullets, at grizz)
result - coin flip determines whether miami gets ten or eleven
scenario 2 (heat make playoffs):
1. heat beat sixers tomorrow
2. orlando beats brooklyn tomorrow
3. indy loses both its games
result - heat would win tiebreaker and make postseason

CHAZ BEING CHAZ
Indy wins, so Miami is out. Go Magic
awesome nn piece....
http://bleacherreport.com/articles/2429196-nerlens-noel-goes-inside-his-rookie-season-the-sixers-culture-and-teams-future
O/U on tonight's game. 100?
be a lot of scoreboard watching....if nets start killin the magic then its just another game....but if magic keep it close all night sixer heat could be the biggest sports travesty to ever happen
still havent seen who the heat are sitting tonight....nerlens is out and somehow ish is only listed as questionable....im sure ish sits in the end...they literally dont have another point guard on the roster...they would be a joke without him
too bad the bk-orl game doesn't start at 7 or 730 instead. would make for a hilarious 4th quarter for this game.
i advocated earlier today to snis that the league should have moved brook orl to an afternoon game so they could avoid a potential embarrasment for the ages....of course im assuming brooklyn is going to win which they almost assuredly will...could go the other way too...orlando wins and you get a full 48 minutes of 100% tanking from the heat and sixers
Howard Eskin should be forced to sit courtside and watch with his eyelids taped open.
I can see Hinkie calling Brown and telling him to start Sims at point and rotate Furkan in with him
jesus when does next season start....butter puffs

i love butter stuff. butter nuts!
Hahaha. Half Baked +1.
heat:
tyler johnson
the dragon
james ennis
henry walker
michael Beasley
its ON
sixers counter with:
jakar
gr3
covey
grant
sim city
lets do this
after 1q
heat +6
magic +5
it's gonna work out fine tonight but they will lose the coin toss.
philadelphia.
I still cant believe the nets are going to lose...it would be such a choke....at home must win against a 26 win team...but their defense has been a joke so far...not sure how its possible but they don't look like they care at that end
that's so farging awesome how during non sixer timeouts brett brown is letting a guy from the ebnch run the huddle....j rich now joe-el
brett brown is the man
20 pt lead down to 8 (now 10)
be smart
I cant believe how bad the sixers are tanking....they cut it to 10....then literally let james ennis go unchalleneged from 18 feet out to the rim for a dunk....then give up a free rebound and dunk to tyler Johnson....like totally blatant shtein

Was there ever a doubt... Sixers are better at tanking than any other team is at winning. The Heat are basically just sloppily farging around and bombing long rangers and the Sixers are still 8 points out.
heat got the message from the godfather riley at halftime and have stopped playing defense as much as the sixers
i put 100 on U 196. i'm gonna lose.
other game tied now.
This is going to be one farged up quarter.
also this is only the 2nd game of the entire season that i don't get marc and malik.
lolol two sixers one being t rob who grabs every rebound just let one go right to james ennis who then missed a put back layup on purpose but since no sixer went for it much less were trying to defend him got the ball back and didn't know what to do but he was so close to the basket with no one challenging him he had to go back up and score

I got the illegal feed going... a lot of Molly Sullivan straightening her hair and those two eating popcorn tonight.
wait there's like a direct feed somewhere out there? not a broadcast one but the direct camera angles
ahahahaha five second violation out of a timeout at three quarters not being defended

It's the broadcast, it just doesn't cut to commercial.
Mmmm Molly :crazy :crazy
you guys should to ballstreams next year. cost $80 for the whole season, live streams in HD and can watch any previous game on demand whenever you want.
i don't even have cable put hook it up to the tv and it's just as good.
That felt like the first time the Heat have attempted a layup in an hour.
the heat win this game and riley will have none of these guys on the plane going home
those heat guys on the bench are like why these fargs trying?

this is amazing shtein....henry sims had a layup and kicked it out to hollis for a 23 footer
if brett is smart he will use all his timeouts spaced in a nice way to counter act spols not subbing anyone all night

Same shtein... although at one point they said it was exciting to watch the box scores tonight... and proceeded to talk about the Pelicans game.
nets running away
oh well
i feel like malik is gonna get excited in the last 2 minutes.
ha, total tank pass by whoever the farg that was.
im just glad the sixers didn't win before the nets game was decided....I fully expected Brooklyn to win....no big deal there...had the nets lost and sixers won I would have lost it

yeah definitely the biggest waste - non-injury - of the last five years. i would have bet you a lot of money in 2010 that he would be an all star.
