you forgot the green font, talent alone and hype doesn't win you jack, you need experience chemistry and time.

The sixers trio got 33 game sin 3 years of experience,not to mention health is huge issue.


No I didn't forget anything. The Sixers' have started the process better than any young team in the league in terms of talent. Of course it takes time and health for any team become elite. I will say it's much easier winning when you have more talented players than the other teams.

The Sixers just traded for Markelle Fultz.

We just made Jon Horst our GM.

Woo.

the team that picked Okafor over KP and now tries to dump him for a couple of early 2nds, urging to trust the process.. and now they ll get Fultz over Josh Jackson plus a lottery pick.. i mean they re hopeless.. Joel is the only solid player and he ll not be able to play a full season in his short career ever.. Simmons picked to play the point, then broke his foot and bumped to PF - we ll see how he turns out too.. overall, this team is and will continue to be a mess

Well, unless you find a Giannis and a Parker over there in terms of proven talent, i 'd say the Bucks process looks better

Will happily take Okafor off their hands if the price is cheap enough.
Go Bucks!

Trying to downplay a team with Embiid/Fultz/Simmons is funny. Whatever makes you feel better.

Yet we got Giannis that is healthy and is considered one if not the best young in the league right, we got Jabari who yes is injured but played more games them and is fantastic offensive pillar and Middleton who is a great 3 and D guy. Do you honestly want to switch the Sixers situation with us ? Because i wouldn't ,injury is VERY big part for a teams success, look at others in the past, look at Oden and Davis and especially AD who despite being more healthy compared to Sixers had done much worse than us.

Its not like Fultz is the next coming of Lebron and will save them...

The Bucks have won 4 more playoff games than the Sixers since the process started. One hand.

if the Bucks had cases like Noel and Okafor, there would have been massive protests all around the board.. this board got berzerk for a bad stretch on a year where the team ended up 6th in the East.. can you imagine being rock-bottom for a decade like those guys?? And still, talent-wise, the Bucks according to almost everyone have the most talented young franchise player in the league.. Giannis and AD are considered as generational talents.. And then you have Parker and Brogdon and Thon and you want me to feel doomed to Philadelphia? for what?

LEts see.
2014 , WE got MCW we are guaranteed playoffs he is ROTY! - proceeds to fail.
2015 , Now got Noel and Embiid, we are the best team in the EAST - proceeds to fail
2016,OKafor and Simmons - lol fail
2017 , We got Fultz, the trio is unstoppable- to be continued.

You see the pattern? Every year sixers fans hype the heck out of heir team and players and only thing they have become is a meme team that still lives on IFs and whens.

I can be talked into taking their situation over ours. Love Giannis but that's all we have to go up against a team with a better coach, better assets, bigger market, and a **** of more cap room than us.

But we do have playoff experience so it is close.

Disagree with passing on what I think is a franchise player and far and away the #1 prospect in this class. Ainge better be certain that whatever he either gets at #3 or trades for with the assets he receives is better than what Fultz ends up becoming. I don't trust his draft record enough at this point.

You know they turned him into the pick that helped them get Fultz, right?
