Still call bs when more creditable people have not caught wind of this.

The only sources I have are some of my friends who have been working at the Orlando Summer League and myself. You don't have to believe it. It's gonna happen either way.

Hey man - I'm got my nomination ready for Howard Mass's Thread of the Week if this plays out!

Considering that Philly is equal if not bigger market than HOU. Hinkie has to make some kind of move to attract fans. You can't live off NBA welfare profit sharing forever. You can't treat every non-rookie like an expiring. You eventually have to take games seriously.

I wonder how much more tanking they can take until they start booing Hinkie. I'm pretty sure they love him now and I don't think it will take them much longer before they are good. They are good fans, they see the direction the team is going to, but Philly has got to be hard to play for when they are tanking like this.
Philly fans boo everyone.

I don't think PHI tanks this year. Remember they started off hot last year, then MCW went down. I think they shoot for the playoffs next year.

Regardless though it doesn't make any sense for them to give us assets for Lin. They have all the leverage. But I guess you can never count out Morey's trade wizardry.

When is the deadline for all this off-season speculation to happen?

Looks like JLin is going to sixers if Bosh joined Rockets.

Sixers to get JLin, a first round pick and possibly a 3rd piece

I am assuming by Grant, you mean Jerami Grant?

Slightly off topic but who's kid is that in the picture?

Imagine being like 11 years old and you're listening to two NBA GMs hammer out this huge deal.

Would also have to send out Jones & Motie, to be able to match Parsons

Makes no sense. Allowing you guys to sign Bosh by taking Lin who will sit our bench and giving away 2 young players makes no sense. Hinkie will go from hero to zero quickly

Why do you assume Lin would sit on your bench? He did hit 9 three pointers in one game against Philly last year.
