2014-2015 Sixers - The Saga of Hinkie Magic and it's Hold on the NBA Continues

[MDS]

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.

[phattymatty]

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.

[ice grillin you]

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

[phattymatty]

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.

[phattymatty]

also i'm all in for mudiay. i thought you were a russell guy.

[ice grillin you]

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

[MDS]

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.

[ice grillin you]

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

[Eagles_Legendz]

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. 

[smeags]

im in for Russell.

[MDS]

35. 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

[phattymatty]

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

[PhillyPhreak54]

Don't rain on mds hate parade

[MDS]

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
