Why will Philly take 2 low first rounders for Embiid? No wonder you got ridiculed for it LMAO, 2 years ago it was rumored that Lebron was fighting with his coach the Rox should have traded 2 first rounders for him.
Lol. The audacity of you even defending Hinkie. The Sixers were the laughing stock of the NBA with him running the show. Yes they had talent but they were going nowhere. You can't run a NBA basketball team with a calculator
Lol, this in itself is one of the biggest misconceptions about Sam Hinkie. Ignorance is not bliss. Analytics is just a tool, a piece of the puzzle. Hinkie, Morey, they all know this.
Hinkie absolutely set up Colangelo for success, but BC has been making solid moves as the GM. Tweaking the roster and not blowing it up. Embracing the process. Players they lost since last season: Elton Brand, Isaiah Canaan (underperforming in CHI), Jerami Grant (traded for Ilyasova and a 1st!), Carl Landry, lKendal Marshall, Ish Smith (underperforming in DET), Hollis Thompson, Christian Wood Players they added since last season: Jerryd Bayless (injured), Gerland Henderson, Ersan Ilyasova (great pick up), Timothe Luwawu (assist from Hinkie), Sergio Rodriguez, Dario Saric (drafted by Hinkie), Ben Simmons (assist from Hinkie) and obviously Embiid finally being healthy
Funny you should mention Ilyasova as a great pickup because I was thinking the same thing. I saw him several times go up to young players after a play, put his arm around their shoulder and look to give some advice about a play or maybe some encouragement. That's what you want from your vets to be coaches on the floor for your young guys. Only thing is some of the players he talked to seemed a little apathetic either thinking "I know that already" or Ilyasova's english is so bad they were thinking "WTF did he say". lol
THEY WERE GOING NOWHERE. Then Colangelo came and masterminded the acquisition of Illyasova and Rodrigues and massaged Embiid to health. Well done! Every single thing that is going to make the Sixers relevant (Embiid + Simmons + coach + young guys) is Hinkie's work.
BC still trying to take credit for everything. Except now the Celtics have taken over "THE PROCESS" because this idiot drafted a PG that can't shoot, in a shooting league. Meanwhile, Celtic drafted a franchise player that could shoot. How are they going to beat the Celtics with 2 PG that cant' shoot? No wonder he needs 5 accounts to defend himself, like KD
Sometimes the lotto balls don't bounce your way and the sixers paid for it. I have a feeling Hinkie would've been backstabbed regardless of years given his reclusive numbers driven nature. Colangelos are slick and grease it up to Money.
Colangelo destroyed the Sixers future, in a draft that was littered with so much good players like De Aron Fox, Dennis Smith Jr, Tatum, Mitchell, even Ball, they trade their 2018 pick and get a bum. Either that or they get a good player and ruin his shot, pick one of the two. If Hinkie was never tampered with Sixers would have a dynasty by now since they will have Embiid, Simmons, Saric, Porzingis and literally anyone except Fultz. Colangelo has always been a terrible drafter who did he draft in PHX?
this thread is obviously extremely sarcastic. dunno how you didn't pick up on that. especially when Op said "nerd this isn't .xls its nba"
