Official Brett Brown thread

[XDevilBoiX]

I'm beginning to move beyond Brett Brown and the Colangelos being horrible at their jobs. Their records speak for themselves. Out of all of the seasons that the Colangelos have GM'd NBA franchises, how many NBA championships do they have? It's the Sixers ownership. They hired the scam artist known as Sam Hinkie AKA "Mr. Just Trust Me," trust the process...They also green lit the extension Brett Brown received while factually being the worst NBA coach in league history. No one has a lower winning percentage for anywhere approaching the amount of games Brett Brown has coached. He has coached 272 games with a .195 winning percentage.

I agree the ownership group sucks.

Ok, everyone here and all the Sixers fan should pitch in some $$$ and let's buy the Sixers. We can fire BC and BB then rehire Hinkie to fix this problem.

Hinkie never "scammed" anyone, he always told everyone exactly how it is without implicating the organization for blatant tanking. There were no secrets or anyone being mislead with Hinkie.

The scam was that he had any idea of how to build an NBA team. His tanking would go on into perpetuity or as long as people "trust the process." He ran the first front office ponzi scheme, and just like the government shuts down ponzi schemes, the NBA shut Hinkie down.

I don't think you understand what the word "scam" means. If you enjoy watching Joel Embiid, every time you watch him remember you wouldn't have him without Sam Hinkie. You can remember that when Simmons comes back too.

And for the record, ponzi schemes are illegal and Hinkie did nothing illegal.

I doubt if Raptors' fans will remember BC when they watch Lowry & Derozan

Hope you enjoyed Embiid's 33 point performance tonight.

And what has BC done exactly? Yeah, he is continuing "the process". A complete joke that he has let this log jam happened when everyone saw it coming, should have made the trade(s) at the draft.

I am not backing up Hinkie or BC but I would have like to see Hinkie finished his plan if this is exactly what was gonna happen right now. If Hinkie wasn't hired, would our future look bright with Embiid and Simmons plus possibly a few more high picks moving forward? I highly doubt it.

BC was suppose to change the Sixers image from negative to positive moving forward. He has done squat also, him and his father seems to be the scam artist here. Atleast Hinkie was honest and up front on what he was doing.

Nice. You don't get to see it in a Sixers jersey without that "ponzi scheme".

well; that's not exactly true. I supported year one of the "process"; which led to Embiid...and Saric...I did not support the Saric pick

You act as if Hinkie has a monopoly upon losing. What in the world would have made the Sixers a winner had any other bad GM came to town? The Sixers are currently losers WITHOUT Hinkie.

Not every GM would have taken Embiid because of his injury. He did. He got top value for MCW before the rest of the league figured out he sucked. He got a pick swap, Stauskas, and a 2019 1st for essentially free. We can speculate about what other GMs would have done all day. It's useless, because it is speculation. Hinkie did it, that's what we know. All we know are the facts and that is without Hinkie we don't have Embiid or Simmons. Bottom line.

And whoever we get with that Lakers and 2019 Kings pick is thanks to him too. oh, and the cap room.

I like how Hinkie supporters like yourself conveniently remove several of Hinkie's draft picks from consideration like Noel, Okafor, Saric, and MCW. Those are all of his draft picks too, the genius that he is...

[Mik317]

Hinkie did some good, he also did some bad.

he's also gone. Let this back and forth die.

Noel was a good pick, Saric was a good pick(and the trade to get him was also good... picked up a 1st rounder), Okafor was a bad pick, but who knows whether or not he was overruled by ownership, and the MCW pick was a good pick. I mean he won rookie of the year.

So the guy who u love watching the most was made possible by Hinkie. Thank you. If there is no Hinkie there is no Embiid.

1st round pick in the Saric trade?
