Hinkie in Hindsight?

[kriss73]

The orchard is growing.

The League screwed us with the Hinkie thing.
We can only hope that BC is a good micro-manager and that the main stage set by Hinkie is enough to compete in the future.

Great asset collector and he got Embiid....he was a hired gun who did his job.

Not only asset collector imho: last time I checked the two undrafted guys he found out of scratch (Cov and TJ) aren't that bad.

I don't think that this is fair to Hinkie. Yes, he was a great asset collector, but saying it like that implies that he was only that. Maybe not what you meant, but I see a similar sentiment in other posts.

Hinkie is a great mind, and would have been great at the next phase too. He did an amazing job in his first 3 years(obviously not perfect), and he fully deserved to continue on in that role, and the Sixers would be in better shape today if he was here instead of Bryan.

That being said, Bryan had done well so far.

Embiist is The Process, but I love it when 76ers like TJ McHinkie drop games like his 10 nash/1 turnerover effort against the Clips. I guess a lot of the credit goes to Coach BB and his crew too.

RC3-D, Daria, even The Player Formerly Known As Stink Nauseous.

With every dumb-arsed day that passes, the more I think that Dr. Hinkenstein might be able to parlay 76ers success into way, way, WAY more than a GM gig.

Exactly what success did Hinkie achieve with the Sixers?

BC hit a homerun with the Ersan trade.

Hinkie is like a god now. A legendary figure. A martyr. Basketball Jesus. He sacrificed himself for all of us.

It was actually kind of poetic for him to go out the way he did.

Like the famous quote in The Dark Knight... "you either die a hero, or live long enough to become the villain".

Hinkie died a hero.

His legacy will be 15 years of "Trust the Process" chants, which will will ring out every night like a mantra as his orchard blooms into the next NBA dynasty.

Only because Hinkie gifted him a roster full of guys like Jerami Grant who were useful, promising, and locked up for years to league minimum deals. No way we get Ersan if Grant's not on the Hink Special!

It was a great trade, and one that was Hinkie like in the sense that he got the future picks as well.

I like the trade, and all three draft picks that he made, and the free agents that he signed were ok. Very happy with how he has done so far.

I don't think Colangelo has done anything wrong so far. In fact he made a very good trade to get Ersan and picks for Jerami Grant. However, I still think if Hinkie was the GM, I'd have more confidence. Colangelo might eventually get us to where we want to go, a championship, but if Colangelo could win a championship, I think Hinkie would have built a dynasty. I'm talking about a decade or two long run.

PTI backed off slightly with their Hinkie hate today. Wilbon acknowledged the tanking for top picks seems to be working, when he called it an abomination a year ago, and Kornheiser referred to Hinkie as a "prophet without honor."

Ilyasova trade was decent at the time, very good in retrospect.

Luwawu pick was one of my ideal picks. Korkmaz pick was alright (preferred a few others there but didn't hate it). Hate that he didn't buy the pick to draft McCaw like the Warriors did - I wanted McCaw at 24 or 26.

I liked the Sergio signing at the time even if the results haven't been great. Henderson signing was not great but not terrible. Bayless contract was and still is terrible though. He ran ridiculously hot from 3 last year, tends to heroball on offense, and is a poor defender.

Like it or not, they pretty clearly didn't want to bring in 3 rookies on top of Embiid and Saric to develop. Other guys may have been better but they wanted someone they could stash. Enter Furk.

Yeah I saw that. But you have to be smart enough to admit when you are wrong. And those two could just not do it. Still harping on the 3 bad years of basketball, that were necessary to get to this point. And even when the evidence of those 3 bad years is steering them in their face they are still in denial.

[shlo]

Watch the Lakers end the season with the 3rd worst record. Then Sacramento wins the lottery. Then the Sixers get #1 and #4 and Hinkie goes down as a legend.

They are idiots and loud mouth goons. They have no clue about sports especially basketball. Wilbon has no clue at all about basketball.

I actually like the Bayless signing the best of the three. He just got hurt. When he comes back I think he will be good with Simmons.

Sergio and Henderson are legit NBA veterans, but we will be replacing them soon with draft picks or trades most likely.

Bayless is just inferior to so many other options. He's an above average but not exceptional 3 point shooter and he's a defensive liability. Those are arguably the most important requirements for an optimal PG next to Simmons.

"Legit NBA veterans" sounds like what someone would say when they don't have anything specifically good to say about a player. Prior to the season, Sergio had fewer NBA minutes played than some of our young guys.
