Zero hour, Michael. It's the end of the line. I'm the firstborn. I'm sick of playing second fiddle. I'm always third in line for everything. I'm tired of finishing fourth. Being the fifth wheel. There are six things I'm mad about, and I'm taking over.

Is rjs gonna have to choke a bitch?

Let them eat bootstraps.

not until the lost finale

lol

Turner is without a doubt the bpa at #2 so you take him and hope he develops. If they're serious about hiring Collins as a fan I'm aboard. There's not a better candidate out there and he knows how to develop guards.
I can't emphasis enough the need to trade Igoudala. They should have traded him years ago before his extension. He's not the type of player you build a team around so what's the point of having him here? Thad is more than ready to fill his role.

The BIGSTUD

It seems like these days it is always those young super athletic/agile players who everyone says has this super high ceiling. When players like Brandon Roy, Paul Pierce, Dwyane Wade come into the league as already very good players, but no one expects them to be superstars. Evan Turner is a damn good player and I see no reason why he can't be a star in the NBA.

Just to compare him to someone like Iguodala, Iguodala averages 20 a game and he came into the league with sloppy handle, below average jumper and limited offensive tools and he can score well. Turner does everything offensively better except his vert. There isn't ant reason why he can't get even better either.
Calling it right on the $ since day one.
Just pointing laughing, and living it up while watching the Miami Heat stink it up.

also turner wont be as insufferable to look at

no chance he sees all 4 years

Rome

I don't get the Collins hire.  He hasn't coached in eight fargin' years and he was about as mediocre as it gets when he did coach.

I know it's slim pickings out there but really...

PhillyPhreak54

I don't hate it like I hated the Jordan hire. But I don't love it like I'd love an Avery Johnson hire.

Meh. Turn this team around, Dougie.

As for the pick at #2...

I'm not sold on Turner yet. He makes me nervous. I lean a little towards one of the big men first, Johnson, Cousins or Favors.

Why couldn't Kevin Durant be available again at #2?!

Rome

Collins hasn't had a winning season as an NBA head coach since 1996.

But hey, he used to be a Sixer, so it's all good.

PhillyPhreak54

Had to hire him quick before Old Man Snider remembered he runs a basketball team too

MDS

The best thing I can think for collins is the guys around the league respect him. But that was as an outsider.

And to be fair those 2 yrs in dc were destined to fail. Mj ran the show, come on.

I'm not loving it but I'm not head over heels. At best he's dileo with what should be a much better team

I think he's better than DiLeo.

Not better than Mo or Larry.

Better than Randy Ayers, Chris Ford, Johnny Davis, Jim O'Brien and Eddie farging Jordan.

Rome

It's funny you mentioned Jim O'Brien because that's exactly who I was thinking of when I read the press release.

Old school.  White.  Disciplinarian.  "Well respected"... blah, blah, blah.

20 year old black kids from the hood are gonna laugh their asses off at Collins.  And the veterans are gonna roll their eyes at the hire because they know it's just another stop gap for the Sixers.

They had a shot to get a guy like Avery Johnson and blew it.  AGAIN.
