Evan Turner: Sam Hinkie is not my GM, he's just the guy who traded a Walking Legend

    LoL. Perhaps Evans was his wing man.

    It's weird that Turner was touted as a high IQ/character guy coming out of college. He's been a bona fide idiot since entering the NBA.

    I never really understood why in these articles they quote the player but not the question asked. There's no indication in the article as to why he made that comment.

    For a second, I thought Turner was complaining about Hinkie letting Royce White go.

    Royce was the closest thing to a walking legend than anyone else on that Philly roster.

    LOL.... of Evan. Reminds me of back a few years ago borderline role players said similar things about Morey making moves and now they would die to be on the team that Morey built.

    Fact is, Turner might not like that Hinkie traded his Boo Jrue Holiday (who is very overrated IMO), but in 3 years Turner will wish that he was back on the 76ers.... yes he will be moved or let go in free agency.

    MKW's emergence alone is a good enough reason to trade Holiday much less the horde of assets & Noel who they got back. That trade already is showing the affects of being one of the best trades in 76ers franchise history, and will only look better next June after the draft.

    It seems the players are rallying around a dislike that they were built to lose.

    I'm not so sure they were, I think Hinkie just throwing out his young players.

    That is the great thing about the tank strategy, if young players lead you to wins then so be it. It rises their trade value and who knows? Turner was a #2 pick, this could be his breakout season *shrugs* and maybe MCW is ROTY?

    sixers are sure to have a interesting season at least.

    He didn't really have much of a choice when team min salary is set at $52M. As of now he is still short.

    Would I have been watching the same 76er's team that they had last year with Jrue Holiday as their best player??? No way unless they were playing the Rockets.

    Will i be watching the 76er's this year now with the youth movement???.... Absolutely. I find them to be one of the most intriguing teams in the league win or lose.
