The future begins or ends in a few minutes.
The odds as I have them:
49.5% to get one of the top 2 picks
44.2% to get the Lakers pick
4.8% to swap picks with the Kings
13.4% to get both the #1 pick and the #4
32.3% to have no picks in the top 3
Odds for the Sixers getting individual picks:
#1 26.9%
#2 22.6%
#3 18.2%
#4 64.2%
#5 12.3%
basically this is the lottery:
hope you don't see sacramento at 9 or 8
hope you do see the lakers at 5 or 4
hope you don't see the sixers at 4 or 3
my butt is so clenched right now.
After 10:
51.4% to get one of the top 2 picks
41.5% to get the Lakers pick
5.1% to swap picks with the Kings
13.1% to get both the #1 pick and the #4

FUUUUUUUUUCCCCCKKKKK YEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!

The Process is alive
Awesome. Congrats, fellas.
So those picks were straight chalk, right? I have that as a 1.9% chance. Crazy.
i'm normally an optimistic fan but I was feeling zesty all day. I'm wet.
ALL PRAISE MUTOMBO.

So the Lakers pick is top 3 protected again next season. I still think they'll be a lottery team just not bottom 3
top 3 next year unprotected in 18
Chad Ford said next years draft has 28 5 star high school recruit players where the average draft only has around 15, so it should be a deeper draft.

I liked Mitch Kupchak saying before the draft that they would get the pick next year if they lost it this year. I'm sure he didn't mean it that way, but it sounded like writing off next season as a lost cause.
all depends on if they whiff in free agency or not....they are going to try and sign the two best free agents they can get
they also got pieces to make trades
I don't think the top three was the concern. I think he meant he would get a #1 pick in general. They know eventually they're gonna have to pony it up, though. Figures the Sixers couldn't pull the 1 & 4 though. farging Philly.

top 2 was definitely a concern because thats all that mattered. 1 and 4 was like a 1 in 10 chance. Let us just be excited we didn't get farged. Not going to pretend I know everyone in the top 5 next year but chances are it'll be better than this year.
Simmons and Murray would have been dope though.
you cant complain about not getting something that had such a small chance of happening
if the lakers dont hit in FA they wont make the playoffs and the sixers will have a top 10 pick plus can swap with the kings who will surely suck.
process!
4th time ever same city has had the 1st overall in mlb and nba
last was wall and harper.....pretty sure that's going to turn out a wee bit better than pint/ingram

I don't really care....I think they will take ingram tho or trade the pick....be interesting to first see if simmons even visits them....he wants la bad
really I want embiid and KAT
Washington is so awesome, Caps chocked again in round 2, Wizards didn't make the playoffs, the mighty Nats are 1 game ahead of the rebuilding Phillies who swept them a few weeks ago
But hey, at least the Skins finally won the division. So they got that going for them.
If I gave a shtein about the Sixers I'd be jumping for joy right now.

welcome to philly sports
hinkie died for this give some god damn respect.
pretty sure he didn't die for Brandon ingram or ben simmons....his goal was to get superstars....don't get me wrong im super happy they didn't get below 2 cause that would have been catastrophic and anything can happen with these guys but neither ingram or simmons go in the top four in last years draft and they are light years away from a KAT or embiid
I just don't understand getting all crazy over the pick....its the players that matter
i'm not gonna go back but you definitely said the same about wiggins. i'm ok with the chance of embiid right now.
also they got simmons/ingram, embiid, saric all starting to play soon.
just enjoy it a little buddy. not sure what more you can ask for. if you were in two years ago not much has changed other than KAT.
no one wanted wiggins more than me....he was a much better prospect than either of these two
lol why would I not be in....I just don't care all that much about getting the one overall this year....I care about who they are going to get at number 1...and neither of these guys excite me all that much...for me this draft was all about not getting below 2...what im really all about is embiid....its him or bust

if i cared enough i would go back to quote how you said simmons was the best prospect in years.
but regardless i agree with you embiid is the key.
my point is there was a 13% chance it got any better than this tonight. Stop being a farg face and maybe enjoy that something went our way.

never said best prospect in years...before this year I hadn't seen nearly enough of him....people who had tho did say that he had superstar written all over him and I wanted him badly....but that quickly died away after this past season....I still like him don't get me wrong...but he just doesn't overly excite me right now...especially because he wants nothing whatsoever to do with the sixers
and I am excited right now...but im excited because something didn't go against them....they got the pick they were supposed to get and they aren't getting kris friggin dunn....id be jerking off if this draft had a true star at the top
its no different than the Phillies who have the first overall in a draft worse than the nba draft this year....at least the nba has the ingram/Simmonds duo at the top
guess who
Quote
ive seen most of every game hes played this year except one i think....hes the only player in this draft with transformational potential...hes not lebron but he has insane off the charts upside...i mean he has more upside than jo-el had coming out...and thats what the sixers need...a special player...not farging kris dunn or brandon ingram
im going to go out on a limb and guess there was a reason you left the date off the post...probably cause it was November or December....if you watched him this year you would know that he started off amazing then fell off a cliff
that being said I just said ten minutes agao that he could be a star...he does have some transformational attributes and a huge upside....he just doesn't have star written all over him anymore...plus he also like really really doesn't want to play for the sixers right now...altho that admittedly could easily change
if youd like me to fake tremendous happiness over getting the number one pick so that you feel better about it i gladly will...
i searched for simmons in the printed version of the season jawn and copied it...im not trying any harder than that
but yes it was from december. good job.
also for the record the reason im not excited as you all and the hinkiebots is mainly because I don't see a huge difference between ingram and Simmonds...not because i don't think they are going to be good...my cheering came when the Celtics card was pulled not the sixers
she seems nice. im sure if you throw her enough cash shell take you on

their cap space is irrelevant anyway....over half the league next year with be able to offer at least one max deal and no one is going to the sixers for equal money
basically the entire rebuild depends on getting the number one overall pick this year....no winnins for simmonds...laker pick not being protected would be huge as well but they need the overall 1 in the worst way

I'm not sold on Simmons...he really faded late
lol
i'll take the rapists for 400.
400 posts and two from 2016 that say nothing
again he started the year amazing then ingram almost or did catch him...then he got horrible attitude problems by quitting on the postseason...can he still be a great player sure...does he excite me now as much as he did at the beginning of the season no...you have to remember the world basketball summit youtube and word of mouth was all we had before he played this season....thus you have to evaluate his season as it went and while it was very good there were issues that came up and most importantly ingram put himself on the same level so that there is not appreciable difference between having the number 1 or the number 2 pick this year
no matter how much you guys would like me to go nuts over the number behind their pick I simply cant do it....I have to go by the players and ingram and Simmonds have no separation...getting to pick two wss the crucial part
I see no scenario where Okafor isn't moved this offseason. He doesn't fit, they know it, he has value, they need backcourt help. I know they're waiting to see what happens with Embiid but either way he needs to go.
more than a front court logjam okafor needs to be traded cause he sucks
That too, wonder if Boston still has interest.
possible...they were hoping so bad to jump into the top two tonight...they might now be looking to make a splash instead on draft night

Dropped a loud farg when LA didn't get the 4/5
Peed myself a bit during the reveal of 2/3
Bought a round of shots when the Sixers landed the 1.
I wasn't as high on Simmons as the year progressed. And if he's gonna be a funhole and try to force his way to LA? No bueno.

Thank you Hinkie
Clap clap clapclapclap
Stephen A seems to think Simmons doesn't have the right mindset to play in Philly
Legler also seems to agree and mentions how Simmons wants LA
Simmons mostly wants LA because of a shoe deal. Supposedly the Lakers want him bad. Would you do something like Russell/Ingram for Simmons/24/26?
Im not at all worried about Simmons not wanting to come to Philly, here's why
http://www.csnphilly.com/basketball-philadelphia-76ers/brett-browns-australian-connection-lsu-phenom-ben-simmons
Good point on the Aussie connection
I want the best player. Don't get cute with deals.
simmons doesnt get to decide where he wants to go....kat didnt want to go to farging minnesota
this LA - shoe deal is straight up garbage that someone wrote up because they needed words on lottery day.
of all farging things to make an issue out of, this kid turned down duke and kentucky etc. to play with fam in farging louisiana so i can't imagine he all of a sudden this week turned into some kind of publicity hound. also brett has know him since he was a little kid.
watched with my lil guy last night. we went off when l.a. got called for the #2.
I like both simmons and ingram. I'd be fine with that deal SD brought up, but any chance the lakers would do that ?
nba cities are Teflon when it comes to shoe deals...doesn't matter if you are Durant in gods country or kyrie in hell hole Cleveland....superstars transcend markets in the league
la is no doubt an overall better brand than philly but mostly its a personal thing...hes been a laker fan his whole life and hes from a warm island so more than anything else im sure he wants the beach sun ocean over the Schuylkill banks boardwalk and the race street pier
Transformative!
Quote from: Rome on May 18, 2016, 09:25:52 AM
Transformative!
i know you've never seen him play but he actually could be...he has some major flaws...but his game fits in perfectly with the new nba...his court vision and playmaking ability is magicesque...on the other hand he cant shoot a lick and is a terrible defender...but those are two things you can definitely improve on...problem is youd like your number one overall pick to not have multiple glaring weaknesses...but as far as changing a game...hes THE guy in this draft
I was talking about the Stubhub ad deal. It really is a game changer.
The outside shooting has to be a concern.
I'd say I am at 80% in on Simmons
im in on him as a pick if they take him....im just not fully in on him as a number 1 overall pick...I want a year with a monster at the top
it's simmons 100%...gotta go with the high ceiling guy. and hopefully they move a big...one named okafor.
Brown said so himself they were trying to make/slow down the offense last season to tailor towards Okafor's talents. The fact that they've already been shopping him is all I need to know. Even if Embiid is a no go, they have to move Jah. Throw NN at center, Saric PF, Simmons at the 3, and trade Jah for some back court help.

I'd do Okafor for #3 in a heartbeat. Hell I'd throw in one of the late firsts to get the deal done. Take Dunn or Murray (most likely Dunn). Now you have:
Dunn
someone at the 2
Simmons
Saric/NN
Embiid
The Celtics have a deep young backcourt, Okafor is better than any big man in this draft, so the trade makes sense for both teams.

Obviously this is all speculation but we have 5 weeks to kill so
gonna be a fun few weeks.
nothing says fun like waiting for a league draft.
this thread will be, must read.
romey not feeling that sixer magic
whether you were on board with the process or not, you have to be excited at the possibilities the future holds for this organization.
I'm more excited about cleaning the lint filter on my dryer than the Magic, but yeah, the Sixers did this right. If they can manage to hit on Simmons or Ingraham AND Jor-El comes back, AND they dump Okie AND Saric joins them AND they con a franchise FA into joining them in 2017, they'll be something to watch.
To be fair, clearing the lint filter is some deeply satisfying shtein.
I...I agree.

Nice work, IGY...
rome you sound a tad skeptical. I pretty much see the sixers being in the same boat as this year's Phillies. tons of questions, but also tons of upside.
33 years of mostly inept management will make a brotha cynical. I'm from the area and I genuinely wish the Sixers success but one stroke of good fortune won't make up for decades of poor decisions. It might have if LeBron was available as an 18 yr old but not with Simmons or the Duke kid.

nothing to do with analytics...they are geeks for being geeks, not for any other reason. most of those neanderthals wouldnt know a single advanced metric in basketball. but nice try.
and i never not once said anything bad about nerd stats in hoops. they are helpful for mid level and role players. but the nba is much simpler than baseball. you dont need a spreadsheet to know lebron james, steph curry and kevin durant are good.

Not really because this is how you get good in the farged up system of the NBA
You have to be horrid and get lucky on top picks
ive been saying it for years....theres more than 1 way to skin a cat
i was behind tank 1. they threw away a season, had two top 10 picks....and took an injured big man and a questionable euro trash teenager who wasnt playing for 2 years. that right there was the sign this thing was going to be a farce.
and here we are, 3 years in and still nothing. just a bunch of assets that maybe might be good and some future draft picks that maybe might turn into something. so exciting!
3 years is nothing

marc stein reporting sixers are actively shopping okafor and nn and one of them almost certainly is getting dealt before the draft
Why trade both?
Deal Okafor and keep NN
it didn't say they would trade both...and they wont....at least not until embiid proves he can actually you know play basketball for a while
That's why I was like wtf
Stein said according to sources they are "increasingly likely to move at least one of them."
I read the story too and I was like, whoa...
they aren't trading both
If they get the right draft pick back for one and the right veteran for the other, I could see it happening. Neither guy is a world beater.
Carlesimo replaces DAntoni
Good move
If they manage to get the #3 off the C's for Jah I might start having some faith in the new regime.
id never trade jah to the c's, especially for the 3

I wouldn't mind Teague if he wasn't 28 and in the last year of his deal
fwiw sixers twitter hates it but sixers twitter is primarily hinkie bots who want to tank until lebron james jr. is on the roster
it would be a beyond awful trade...pretty much a bryco worst fears realized situation
Twitter Todd checking in. Thanks for that report.
And yes this is the Colangelo farg up beginning

Exact details of the rumored deal are
Teague
for
Noel
Covington
sauce
please no
Silver needs to put on his Bowie Kuhn hat and squash that deal.
I'd love to hear hinkie's response if that trade goes through. you twitter dopes get on that.

That's disgusting
I cant imagine that happening and frankly I don't buy it for a second but if it does or even if the rumor is true its almost like bryco is mirroring Howie getting rid of as many chip pieces as he can and doing the same by getting rid of as many hinkie magic guys as he can
nn - biggest piece in what is probably considered hinkie magics best move as gm
covey - his most successful needle in the haystack FA signing
staukus - main player in hinkie magics last big trade
even if its just nn for Teague it will be as devastating and short sighted a move as you could make and would be like hes just doing it to spite hinkie magic
Yeah except Chip's work needed to be undone. You can argue if the process was worth it but jettisoning talent for no reason is what this would be.
yeah im just talking about the targeting of who is in this deal...its not okafor or embiid who they fell into...or jeremy grant or richaun holmes who they straight up drafted...its all guys hinkie sought after and went out and made moves to get
train wreck coming. stay tuned.
At least that fake trade with the Bulls (NN for a pile of fossils and broken bones) threw in the Bulls draft pick. Even Jah who I like a lot less than NN shouldn't be traded for the kind of talent the team could feasibly buy in free agency.

Can't the Sixers rip up his rookie deal and sign him to a new contract? Not like they don't have the cap space.
i think for the first 3 years hes burden to the rookie wage scale....or it has to do with the cap expanding
either way hinkie sold ya'all magic beans that MIGHT sprout soon! just keep watering them.
In the grand scheme of things does it really matter if he plays next season or the following? Nope.
if bryco really wants him here he will be here

There's a good possibility Embiid/Simmons/Saric see the court next season and oh yeah they're probably trading Okafor for a young talented Guard. 2017 homie.

Croatian newspaper says Dario 99% coming to philly....supposedly currently negotiating a buyout with club
(https://pbs.twimg.com/media/Ck_U61rXAAE2c4l.jpg:large)
Philadelphijew?
QuoteEnding the season in Turkey, by the way it looks Dario Saric has finished his first part of career. After 2 years in Efes Saric will continue his career in NBA in Sixers. He said he can't confirm yet because he is talking with Efes about buyout, but 99% he will go to Sixers. Dario wanted to go to Philly last year but his coach Duda Ivankovic didn't even want to hear about it. Now it's not the club thing anymore beacuse the buyout price is from 700 thousand to 900 thousand so Dario will most probably land in Philly. His status in Philly has not changed and Brian Colangelo said that they want and expect Saric right now. Its the fourth time someone will buyout Dario Saric trough his career. After Zagreb, Cibona and Efes, Sixers will pay for him 2,5 mil €.
Europe has become too small - Dario Saric
your thoughts lil guy ?
how the hell do you not know who you want this far into the process....and what could be happening at this point in time that would cause you to change your mind on a daily basis?
QuoteColangelo was asked if Ingram could jump ahead of Simmons.
"It changes every day," Colangelo said.
Definitely not a shtein attempt at a smoke screen or dodging the question.
kind of how I read it. not showing his hand.
sly one. :sly
I haven't been following draft talk much lately, so unless Colangelo has flat out stated that Simmons is their guy, then the question seems like it was trying to bait Colangelo and he didn't fall for it.

I think what my white brotha is saying is there's no reason for deception when you have the first pick.
Only if you are 100% committed to making that pick. But if you're at least legitimately willing (or maybe even trying) to make a trade, then the less info you put out there, the better. Why show your hand if you're still trying to raise the pot?
Besides, my whole take on it is based on the Sixers having not publicly stated that Simmons is their guy in recent weeks (which admittedly, I haven't followed close enough to know). So if it's still not public knowledge, and when you look at the way the question was worded:
QuoteColangelo was asked if Ingram could jump ahead of Simmons.
If Colangelo answers yes, that means that Simmons is currently their guy but they aren't necessarily sold on him. If he answers no, then he's committing to Simmons.
It reads like a trap question to me and I don't have a problem with him giving a bs answer.
The Sixers taking Simmons is the worst known secret in the world. It's not even a secret, it's a given.
I watched the AI doc on NBATV. Wasn't bad, but I feel like they've covered the material in the Showtime one.
They say there are 3 players who changed the NBA
Wilt
Jordan
AI
I can't disagree with that. AI's cultural influence cannot be overstated.

I didn't mean as in he was lying I just mean he's full of shtein in general because he sucks
why do you think hes so horrible....it has to be something outside of his resume...because his resume is really no different than any other gm who has been in the league for as long as he has...some really good...some really bad
i know the answer
I'll let my spokesman answer for me to see how close he thinks he is
you still wish hinkie magic was the gm and think its bullshtein how he got forced out....as do i
the problem is because your sports fandom is similar to a hysterical 12 year old girl at a justin beiber concert you are unable to separate hinkie magic being gone and bryco's ability as a gm...one has absolutely nothing to do with the other

that doesn't even make sense...you'd have to be a complete moron to think that but even if you do at least name all the moves that made him the worst gm ever
then again it is deadspin...not exactly the vertical or true hoop
I love rumors around the draft. Don't shoot the messenger.
Celtics and Sixers are reportedly talking trade. Word is the Sixers want Dunn, the Celtics want Noel. No idea how that would work but I get the feeling the Celts really want Okafor.
Would you trade one of Noel + Or Okafor for #3 and would you be happy with Dunn with that pick? My only issue is they pick Simmons who's translates to a point forward then you have Dunn who's a legit point guard, so you have two facilitators and still nobody that can hit an outside shot.
im one of okafors biggest haters and I wouldn't even do that...as much as I dislike his game I think he holds much more value than kris dunn...its not like id be upset if that trade happened...I just think you can get more...maybe one of the celts million first rounders along with #3
no chance id do nn
also I wouldnt worry about dunn and simmons clashing together in terms of ball handling...there are really no positions in the nba anymore...think of simmons being a draymond green but having the ball in his hands more...you can still have two guards on the floor with him....the concern is adding dunn period because of as you mentioned shooting..its just another guy who cant shoot added to a roster full of guys who cant shoot...but as far as meshing with simmons that wouldn't be a concern for me
It's not so much just with Simmons, it's that Simmons/Dunn(maybe)/Okafor/Noel/Embiid etc...all guys who need to drive to the hoop or get points in the paint. They need some guys who can hit from the outside. I mean, their best outside shooter is probably Embiid (take Covington out of the mix since he's a bench player)
yeah shooting has been an issue for three years....its what happens when you draft all big guys and mcw
on the entire roster they have one shooter....and that's covey
sadly hollis is the best shooter on the team.
i'm not one of those nerds who say that oak's game doesn't work in today's nba...i just don't like his game. he's not gonna get faster and at this point in the sixers rebuild you can't focus on someone who's going to slow everyone else down. but he also probably has the most trade value . i'm with iggy, not sure i'd love oak for the #3 straight up but for 3 plus another pick or even like an avery bradley or smart or something, i'd do it.
also i'd pick murray over dunn at #3 anyway.
Quote from: phattymatty on June 21, 2016, 10:35:22 AM

agreed. he can shoot the rock. yea I know some critics have questioned if murray is nba ready over his quickness, and athleticism, but I like his overall offensive skill-set.
Simmons is the guy at 1 - reports coming out they've informed him he will be the pick

I know the powers to be will try to spin it their way, but how can anybody not give hinkie his kudos ? especially if they somehow get simmons & murray out of this draft.

How could anyone possibly believe it would be anyone but Simmons? I admit I don't pay attention to the gossip and rumors, but come on... anyone else would just be dumb. I don't have a problem with Ingram either but Simmons is a no-brainer.
That pic is great
Embiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiid

he also posted on his instagram a picture of him in TIME SQUARE
I hope they don't trade NN

they wouldn't trade for murray it would be dunn....and I don't see any way saric starts...I would also kinda be surprised if jo jo starts...hes going to be on a minutes limit for much of if not all season if he even makes it to the season

If they could somehow get to that starting 5 by the end of the season, that would be some highly watchable basketball.
Other than landing a big name, they can basically do whatever they want during free agency, too. Maybe they can find someone who can even shoot.

yep, I know it wont start out that way but that's what we'd have to look forward to and im not complaining. if if they do trade for dunn instead of murray. im ok with that.
point being this ALL comes back to hinkie magic.
again murray is not going to be on the team...it would be dunn
also hard to see any lineup with jo jo nn and saric starting...at least not until saric improves his handle and outside shot
ultimately what you want is a team that has a bunch of shooters around simmons with a big in the middle jo jo or nn
I'd love to see Bembry taken at 24 but he's going to go top 20.
Any predictions for tonight? Rumors are all over the place. Ainge knows how to play the misdirection game.
my gut says they move 24 and 26 in some kind of deal(s) but not one that gets them 3 or 4
i really really really would like them to somehow end up with malik beasley if they don't trade up into the top of the draft
pompey is reporting that dunn is "begging" to play for the sixers....might be the first player in history to want to play for the sixers over the celtics
Dunn said "my Fathers from there so I'd love to play for them". I'd still do Okafor for Dunn in a heartbeat.
yeah saw that interview. how can you not want this kid at this point if you're the sixers.
no way I am trading okafor straight up for three or four hes worth more than that...there is a titantic drop off in this draft after ingram...in almost any other year theres no farging way kris dunn is a 3rd overall pick...even this year hes just in that big mix of eh guys from 3-12
next years draft is going to be one of the better in recent memory...theres no need to push anything right now...this is the problem with hinkie magic being replaced by bryco...the idea that they are forcing moves strictly in the name of fast forwarding the process...they don't HAVE to have a pg this year and honestly with simmons you can make the argument they will never need one...forget the fact that dunn isn't anything special as a prospect hes a terrible fit for the sixers...if you want to do okafor for dunn there better be some other good shtein coming back
My prediction: Noel and 24 or 26 gets moved for a pick in the top 8
My gut tells me they're getting low ball offers for Okafor, so they'd rather keep him, let him log minutes, and work Embiid in slowly. If Embiid doesn't work out, they have their back up plan.
Quote from: SD on June 23, 2016, 09:16:38 AM

trading nn for a top 8 pick by itself is insane...the idea of also throwing a number 1 pick in is nauseating
if you are going to do this then just trade okafor for dunn straight up
My gut tells me Okafor for #3 is better than the deal they will actually make.

Agreed. I think that's a shtein deal too but I'm almost preparing myself for them to come out of tonight without the LA or SAC future number 1s or something like that.
I agree with igy it's not necessary to trade back into the top ten in this draft. Yeah I think Dunn is the best PG this year but guys like Jackson from ND or Ulis would be perfectly fine for what the need immediately. And they could easily be there at 24 or 26.

how do you "ramp up" a rocket launcher?
and im going to be livid if they trade nn for that pick...no one right now really even wants to play with boston for the 3 which shows you how much people think of that pick
yeah i'm giving colaneglo the benefit of the doubt because he hasn't done anything at all yet, but if nerlens is gone tonight i'm going to be mad. i'm not sure how anyone could watch that team last year and think that slow ass okafor is a guy to build around. not even saying nerlens will ever be the centerpiece of a team because his offense is trash but he'll be an amazing fit with simmons and a good backcourt.
theres legit questions about whether nn can co exist with jo jo...but we know oakafor cant...and forget fit...nn is already an elite defender...the sixers offense (oakafors strength) was significantly worse when he was on the floor last year
Sixers aren't getting #3 for NN. It would be NN+

I'm not saying I would do it. My point is if you're talking about getting angry about Noel for 3, be prepared to get infinitely more angry because if they trade him to the Celtics they're giving up more than just Noel.

i don't believe its true...I mean I believe ainge asked for the moon but cant ever see it happening...nn is a proven nba player and already an elite defender in the league....no way they trade him and something else for an older unproven player
the sixer rumors are out of control...I hope bryco is having fun with all of hinkie magics toys
unlike a lot of hinkie magics sheeple im not one to say that hinkie magic is necessarily a great evaluator of talent as I believe he was a long way from proving that but man do they miss his trade creativity right now and understanding of value
dei lynam was on 97.5, says saric most likely not coming over this year.
at this point, don't trade anything. pick simmons and see what's there at the later picks.

Kris Dunn is indeed the Wolves' pick at No. 5 and the initial whispers are that Minnesota is more likely to trade him than keep him

don't pay attention to positions..."4" means nothing...that being said one of the bigs has to be moved at some point...they could get away with it this year...cause you can bring jo jo off the bench as he is going to have a minutes limit for quite a while...the problem is if you go thru the year with that clusterfarg you are going to hurt the trade value of jah and nn
just hope theres a guard at the top of the draft next year....because holy shtein are the kings going to be bad
for the people who love kris dunn dejounte murry is still available...hes basically a dunn clone
that baby from turkey who can really shoot and has nice size is out there....I think id take him
bembry stolen by the hawks
fine draft some foreigner
Celtics are going to take murray
kormaz should not be here right now...I think he has a saric type buyout that might stop him from coming over but who cares for the sixers...they have two picks right here...take him for the value
Colie magic?
man this fell great for the sixers...to get two of murray kormaz mccaw luwawu would be a coup
bryco will probably take ulis

No clue who the foreigners are. They'll probably rot in Europe like Saric
So glad that Boston didn't take that stupid deal dumbfarg Colangelo tried to make.
What a good night. Got my whole $60 bar tab paid from a finals bet then got into a fight with some ESPN writer about how I liked luwawu and then when we got him I got another $50 in shots. All in all I am now feeling better about the colangelo era.

I'm not going back but I've been pimpn timothy for months. He played for the jokers.
yeah while none of us has seen him play bodner has been on him longer than anyone so that most sixer fans know about him....draft express has had a lot of good video on him for a while ...he kinda reminds me of a better shooting kj mcdaniels
I actually like the potential of Korky more tho...man he looks like he could be a lights out shooter...looks a lot like Michael redd to me
This insider (Eli from EBhoops.com) on Breakfast on Broad said they had Luwawulu ranked #9 overall right behind Heild. He said the Sixers were in shock when he was still available.
so, that worked out well last night.
I'm glad Colangelo didn't make any panic trades. If they're going into the season with the 3 bigs then it's best that Saric stays put. I still think he moves NN or Okafor before the start of the season. At least teams now know he won't just trade them because he has to.

yeah theres a sixers podcast that i listen to every week and one of the guys has been saying he'd take luwawu at 3 for a long time. thats a ridiculous statement but the kid has been known all year. i'm really surprised he was still there.
i'm just happy nerlens is still on the team.

Bryco was on 97.5 this morning, he mentioned having to speak to the agents and all that. He sounded optimistic Luwawu would be on the team this season but that Furkan probably is a draft and stash.

his buyout is something way cheap like 600K so I would say yes.
furkan on the other hand is 2M or so, if i had to guess he may not be here for a year or two.

they have a 4-5 year period here where they have a giant pile of money to burn before any of the young guys need to get paid. gotta spend it somehow.
plus they are sending a message to the league and fan base that the tank is over....no harrison barnes isnt worth the max but the money they have is just silly.
Oh so just waste money on players not deserving of it just because?
No.
The Colangelo Effect is in full bloom...
Sixers looking at Allen Crabbe, who makes more sense than Waiters or Barnes. Too much sense for them to land him, probably.

I'm honestly curious why people hate this guy so much. He has literally done nothing yet. He sat still, got the best player in the draft and arguable two of the best players still left at 24 and 26.
He's the anti-Hinkie. I believe that he's going to be the classic NBA exec where he signs guys to bad deals and makes stupid trades to be in that 5-8 seed range.
He tried to trade too much to Boston...thank god they said no.

that doesnt even make any sense....they will live and die on how simmons, saric, embiid and the 17/18 draft picks pan out, not any FA signing. their next most important decision will come in the draft when hopefully they have 2 top 10 picks.
i dont want barnes anymore than the next guy but throwing money at him isnt going to matter. same for waters. in 5-6 years if the sixers are established as a contender and destination, then who they sign and who they give money to will become very important.
And who put them in position to succeed with those players?

Not too bad
durrrrr colangelo is gonna ruin da team durrrrrr
What's the difference between him and Ish other than the extra nine million they're paying this guy?
Or is it just because he's one of Bry's guys?
Either way it's fine because he's a bridge guy who won't make them much better.
I like the signing. Small upgrade. Given Bayless' style and strengths it seems they are setting up Simmons to run the offense as a point forward.
bayless can shoot a little...ish can't shoot at all. that's the difference & it's a big one.
speaking of can't shoot at all...i read that the sixers are interested in rondo. :boo
Well, Bayless has a career .415 shooting percentage while Smith has a career .401 shooting percentage, so that's about a push.
Honestly, they're both bottom tier starters and the money that they're both making is chicken feed, so it's moot.
i meant shoot the 3...bayless has twice as many 3's as ish last season in fewer minutes...and hit 43% vs ish's 33%.
i mean, neither guy moves the needs so it's just about fit at this point. they have to get up to the salary floor anyway.
def bottom tier as starters...and semi-ok as backups.
i have no idea who this twatting idiot is, but:
Follow
Michael K-B
@therealmikekb
Jamal Crawford just followed Ben Simmons & Joel Embiid. Spoke yesterday on @NBATV about how he wouldn't mind joining a young team as a vet.
supposedly crawford is a good guy both on & off the court...could provide vet leadership as well as an offensive spark.
i've always liked crawford. but he's basically just a better nick young. can shoot but also takes more bad shots than anyone on the court.
apparently a good dude though so i'd be fine with a year or two. would be very surprised that he doesn't try to chase a ring his last few years though.
crawford would be a great signing, but i cant see how this isnt a ploy by him. doesnt seem likely that hed throw 2-3 years of his career away to go play with a bunch of kids, albeit get paid handsomely
Quote from: Rome on July 01, 2016, 03:34:03 PM

three inches and upside
three inches is huge when you are talking about one guy being 6 foot
while age doesn't apply here in terms of upside (they are both 27) one of these guys is coming off a career year in a very important stat - shooting...its been proven time and time again that it often takes player in the nba 5-7 years to become a legit shooter in the league...im not saying its going to happen but basically bryco is betting that last year was the start of bayless' career not an outlier
I was actually surprised they were only 9 mil apart...one guy is a 6'3 former lottery pick coming off a career shooting year and the other is at best a midget back up point guard
crawford and rondo both off the market thank god
Rondo would have been a disaster. Crawford, though... can't say I would have not liked him there. They need solid pro's going forward and he can still play. LOL @ $42M over three years, though. Tell me that isn't patently absurd.
at only three years that's really fair actually for the 6th man of the year....remember the market we are in...tomothy mozgov got 4/64

I like the signing. Small upgrade. Given Bayless' style and strengths it seems they are setting up Simmons to run the offense as a point forward.
I'm not even going to pretend to be an expert on Simmons' game because I only saw him play like 3x last season, but his court vision, awareness, and passing ability stood out to me more than any other aspect of his game.
It was always likely that's how they would use Simmons, but I see this Bayless signing as confirmation. They are handing him the keys in his rookie year.
I actually think Bayless is an okay signing even if last year's shooting was an outlier. Complementary guy and the price seems about right in this market.
How much more to get to the salary floor?
is there anything else they can do at guard?
Trade
bb has been on record as saying they would run the offense thru Ben...I don't think bayless is some sort of barometer in what they are going to do with Ben...hes just a mini shot at trying to upgrade the shooting on the roster...if they had a real lead guard they still take a stab at someone like bayless imo
it's also important to note that the offense I think will be run thru Ben Simmons as much as it will be run by Ben Simmons...going to be lots of post stuff and pnr with him...but to properly do this you need to get shooters in these sets to take advantage of the double teams and everyone running under the pnr's
does anyone know how to watch the game tonight?
need to find a way to sneak out of a cookout to watch benny.

2/18 for philly's own gerald henderson
i am one step closer to asking gerlad if he remembers the 7th grade basketball game between akiba hebrew academy and episcopal academy when i crossed him up from the top of the key and missed the jumper.
the less we see of nik stauskus the better
yeah total average NBA player but still a huge upgrade over sauce.
the best part of this move as well as the bayless move is that while both are obvious bridge guys it shows what coangelo is going to try and do in the future which is surround ben with shooters and run the offense thru him...they obviously will need to add a ball driving wing to the mix but these two moves shows he has the right idea
I mentioned this about bayless the other day....how he set career highs in jump shooting last year...well so did hendo...these two signings basically mirror each other in trying to get a guy on a short deal at low money who showed shooting upside last year as a middle ager....altho hendo is a better defender
I think our buddy j owes bryco an apology
yeah he gets an A from me so far. keepin it slow and steady.
if he can get a good return on jahlil he gets an A+.
Getting through the draft without a dumb trade was a huge confidence booster. I've moved from skepticism to cautious approval.
It should be enough to make Doug Pederson the sole focus of my sports fear this summer.

ben can pass.
terrible luck for richaun being stuck with 3 other bigs the same age as him. think he will be a solid player but not sure how he gets many minutes.
tonight's summer league starting 5 would beat many of last year's starting 5s.
I don't see anything wrong with Simmons' form on his jump shots ... they just don't really go in
yeah def timid with throwing it up. shtein even getting to the hoop he's passed a few times when he should have went up.
a lot of one on one clearouts just to pass it out to someone else for 3 also.
i mean he can dish the rock but we need you to score some too bruh.
I agree he def has a tendency to overpass....problem is he's not super athletic or explosive...for his size I think he's going to be a pretty bad finisher in the nba
never had chub for summer league before but benny-ingram tonight should be fun. i was very close to making a last minute trip to vegas just to watch.

tonight the last summer league game?
they will have at least two more games....one almost certainly sometime tomorrow...if they win that then they will play again Thursday...if they lose tomorrow they will play again Friday...win tomorrow and Thursday and they play again saturday
I thought that before then heard someone on the radio say it ended tonight. Sounds good
whoever said it probably just looked at a website that listed their pre tournament schedule...which ends tonight...
and not the "playoff" schedule which isn't set until after tonights games
Yeaaaah I know he has flaws but I can't help it after watching him. Dude is legit.
saric to sign friday
He's not gonna go to Vegas is he? I'd squirt myself.
Also bye Christian Wood. I always liked the kid but he wasn't gonna see any time with this big young lineup.
He's going to Vegas to sign and hang out with the team a bit but I can't see him playing, he has to fly back and get ready for the Olympics.
there was never an intention of him playing there but even if they wanted him to their last game is most likely tomorrow
Christian wood who was having one of the better weeks of anyone in the league signed with Charlotte

kevin pelton espn insider summer league awards just came out.....
Most tantalizing rookie
Ben Simmons | Philadelphia 76ers
Though he earned a spot on the All-NBA Summer League First Team, I'm not sure Simmons was actually one of the five best rookies on the court. He had more turnovers (21) than field goals (18) in his three games in Las Vegas (Simmons also played two games in the Utah Jazz summer league, which don't count here) and shot 41 percent from the field.
Like Emmanuel Mudiay last year, Simmons showed more promise than production, which is OK for a 19-year-old rookie.
Most disappointing veteran: Nik Stauskas | Philadelphia 76ers
While being asked to play summer league after your second season no longer carries the same stigma -- by my count, one-third of the first-round picks from 2014 played -- it's a bad sign when you don't stand out.
Stauskas, the highest-drafted player among that group (eighth overall) had 22 points on 7-of-20 shooting in his two-game cameo and generally failed to distinguish himself from the players trying to make teams.
Best playmaker: Ben Simmons
Led by Ulis, a handful of other players assisted teammates more frequently than Simmons. In terms of quality, however, nobody's dishes were better. Simmons dazzled with highlight passes to set up layups and open 3-point attempts, racking up few assists of the kind players get simply by running the offense or having the ball in their hands.
Best shot-blocker: Richaun Holmes | Philadelphia 76ers
Holmes' best rim protection actually came in Salt Lake City, where I believe he blocked a few of my tweets because he was just rejecting everything in sight. He came down to earth a bit in Vegas, but still averaged 2.5 blocks per game.
Sauce is horrible, I had hopes of him being a bench player but I see him out of the league in a few years.

Who says he's the next Larry Bird? Come on
half the fan base....this narrative that hes a hero for taking less money to come over is sickening too.....hes pretty much ghandi right now to sixer fnd
I don't know who you're talking to but even in the psychotic hinkie cult internet world I haven't seen anyone that thinks he's gonna be an all-star. i think it's more of a story than it would be in another city because there is finally someone who is making a sacrifice to play in philly. that has not been the case in a long time.
and yes i like sauce too but don't even think he'll be on the roster opening day this year.
igy being hyperbolic?? You don't say
the glorification of saric by hinkie bots has been incredibly sickening....especially making him into mother Teresa for taking less money to come over now

good lord this embiid video floating around is making me moist in front and back.
Going to be weird seeing him play actual basketball after so many epic workout videos.
Assuming he plays actual basketball.
yeah i'm not sure getting 30 lbs heavier is good for a chronically broken foot. i mean it looks like solid muscle but still.
he still weights 30-40 lbs less than yao ming...with the new medicine and treatments available I don't know that weight will mean all that much tho...either the surgerys worked and hes fine or hes going to get hurt again sooner rather than later no matter how much he weighs

natty games
oct 26 vs okc - espn
nov 17 at minn - tnt
dec 16 vs lakers - espn
im surprised they chose okc for that game...not shocking that they want to get simmer and jojo so early, but figured that would be boston or ny
minny and la make sense as matchups of young up and coming teams nba junkies will love to see
okc is gonna be hot garbage so will be nice to start with a win.
i actually bought a simmons jersey last week. first non throwback i've ever had.

Holy shtein that's awesome
The only thing wrong there is the disgusting farging Chelsea jersey he was wearing.

A great speech and done in the AI way
If ya don't tear up a bit watching that you've got no heart
i dont think he was drunk for his speech, which is great for AI
I wanted to kill the director who cut away from Larry Brown welcoming AI to the stage to show a minute of crowd shots. The speech was raw emotion exactly how anyone expected it to be. I was also captivated just trying to guess who would make his list to thank and who wouldn't (virtually everyone did). Also laughed when I saw he was getting the "wrap it up" while he was still talking about Georgetown. Like he was ever going to give a shtein about that sign.
I think the odds are low that he was drunk but I wouldn't rule it out completely.
Did him and his wife reconcile?

According to him, they were actually apart for only like a month. Not sure I believe that, but they have a shteinload of kids and are always going to be huge parts of each other's lives, and they seem codependent in a way that probably stopped being healthy 20 years ago.
I watched Iverson's speech from start to finish and it was an all-timer. It's too bad the Sixers never paired him with another "guy" like Kobe had with Shaq or Michael had with Scottie Pippen.

Saw that. Doing it for 6 home games.

Nice. It can't be overstated how much I LOVE that the ownership group has embraced the buttery historical colors and unis.
agreed, was just looking at the article, first thing I notice, is the blue jersey. want.
http://www.phillymag.com/news/2016/09/26/nerlens-noel-sixers-roster-silly/
Jah gotta go. At least, he's the one I'd like to see them move the mostest.
jah stinks and the other two are really good so i agree
Lol. I wasn't gonna go so far as to say he stinks, he's just entirely 1 dimensional and doesn't seem likable. His personality seems like a total clash with Philly.
its so on.....just copped tickets to the opener
Where we sitting?
lol....you don't want these tickets....upper deck for 85 bucks
the hype is REAL
good thing is these new muscles won't farg up his jump shot

Yeah, I'll watch from the crib. I went opening night a few years ago...2012 I think or whatever year they traded for Bynum....think I paid like $25 for front row upper deck.

Jesus Christ Simmons!
With all the excitement and hype about the Birds and Wentz I haven't even been thinking Sixers. Just thinking about some of Ben's Summer League highlights and seeing he put on 50 lbs. got the mind straight again.
there's this guy embiid too
(https://pbs.twimg.com/media/CthKOoqWcAA7dfT.jpg)
Simmonds has a fracture in his right foot. :boom
Oh my farging God.
This franchise needs an exorcism.
Just turned on sportscenter and that's the first thing I see
farg
just bought 85 dollar upper level johnsons for the opener....granted it was mostly to see jo jo but no chance he makes it thru the preseason either
farg my life
Good things happen and we ride high and then something bad has to counteract the good
farging hell
Is he taking the Sixers plane to Qatar yet?
i saw this flash across the screen at the bar last night and tried to forget.
Embiid just hit 9 straight 3s: 2 from wing, seven from baseline.
saw a dude on the plane back from vegas with a simmons shirsey
died inside
HAPPY JOJO DAY.
don't break anything, don't break anything, don't break anything...
official statement from the team....no timetable set...btw he had an acute jones fracture https://www.foothealthfacts.org/conditions/fractures-of-the-fifth-metatarsal
(https://pbs.twimg.com/media/Ct8TYY9XYAQH7Wa.jpg:large)
Zone 2 fractures are typically known as Jones fractures. They occur at the intersection between the base and the shaft of the fifth metatarsal (figure 1). These fractures are known to have a higher chance of not healing (nonunion). They are also at risk of refracture even after healing. Surgical treatment is commonly performed for these fractures.
For the first seven to 14 days after surgery, you may be allowed to weight bear through the heel, but some surgeons will not allow you to bear any weight on the injured foot. This could last as long as six weeks. Weight bearing in a removable walking boot is allowed after that. Patients can expect to return to full activity three to four months after a typical fracture. This includes returning to sports. Some fractures may require bone grafting and have longer recoveries. The screw is not usually removed unless it causes discomfort.
Some complications can result in the need for repeat surgery. The metatarsal fracture may not heal and can become a nonunion. Another rare but serious complication is a re-fracture after fixation. Some patients may be at greater risk for poor healing or re-fracture due to the shape of their foot. A high-arched foot or a heel that turns in can put extra pressure on the fifth metatarsal and affect healing.
That is not very encouraging.
It's just confirmation of what was widely suspected and rumored from the beginning. It sucks and there's not much else to say about it. This is like the 5th season in a row the most exciting guy on the team is too injured to play. I hope they don't hold him out the whole season, but obviously the most important thing is that everything heals right. Anyone who's a fan of this team is very familiar with the concept of waiting.
the jones fracture is all new news and is pretty much the worst case scenario...shtein as of 48 hrs ago they hadnt even confirmed that hed have surgery...altho that was highly unlikely
i've learned way too much about the different kinds of foot fractures over the last few days. my pessimism told me it was a jones fracture a while ago.
this is a list of nba players with 5th metatarsel injurys but not necessarily a jones fracture....i have no idea if this chart is good or bad for simmonds but its something to look at

Once it leaked 3 days ago that he was getting surgery, and no one could confirm it was an avulsion, it seemed inevitable.
Still incredibly upset about the BS situation. Was looking forward to 76ers this year more than the Eagles until the injury.
Seriously wtf can't it just be a regulator break? Noooo it's gotta be the one where his goddamn foot will end up getting amputated.
Snake bitten franchise.
I heard on the radio that his agent wanted him shut down all year
i dont get this narrative that is saying they are snake bitten....this has been a huge thing lately....can someone explain why
they drafted nn and embiid knowing they had injuries and they purposely tanked the last three years
saric needs to do something with that hair....there aint no discotheques in philly
Hahaha when I saw his hair I knew igy would be on it
Odds he has a jean jacket and smokes like a chimney?
hairy armpitted farger too and his dj name is probably fonzerelli
Hahahahah!
hollis babbeeeee
Joel lookin a little GOATy last night.
going to see Jojo up close and personal tonight.
ok it's like 3am and a lot of stuff has happened to my brain since the game but here's my notes. verizon center was empty and i could have touched the guys i was so close. and yeah i realize it's preseason.
they were hot shtein tonight. like really bad. no nerlens or nah but they would not have helped. not a single shooter on the team. actually jerami started knocking them down in the 4th when they were down 30 but no one is going to win with jerami as your best shooter. i haven't looked at box score but i feel like roco went like 0-10. i was yelling stop shooting by the second quarter.
positives: jojo is the real deal. yeah i'm sure he will get hurt because philadelphia but dude was the biggest guy on the court by far and runs like a point guard. had a pretty sick outback dunk and a lot of nice moves. even the free throw stroke looked good. he is the only thing keeping me from a total simmons meltdown. also his twitter persona is not a joke. even the refs would laugh when he talked to him. he's going to be philly's favorite athlete by the end of the year.
guards: TJ and sergio seem pretty much the same to me except sergio has more confidence because he's old. honestly i guess it doesn't matter but i guess they both make it. didn't even realize henderson was playing until i saw a bald dude brick a shot towards the end of the first. i think that's basically how he's going to be. i saw TWC's gorgeous face in the second half and he looked ok. I still think he may have been a steal but haven't seen enough yet.
um, not many other positives. sauce had a nice dunk but otherwise is still garbage. i give up as his sponsor. he should not make the team. hollis is also garbage but he doesn't go through spurts of nothing like sauce. he may snag the last spot.
then went to the bar to watch the nats get crushed so that made up for everything. also the metro is a mess and stopped running before the game left out so there are literally 1000s of people stuck at the stadium now. also pretty hilarious.

i have such a crush on this guy.
heat just had one of those between quarter fan contests. two dudes had to make a layup, FT and 3 pointer. then there was a girl at mid-court who just had to jump rope in place and if neither of the guys could make it, then she won. so sexist and hilarious. she won.
