Myles Turner dropping 30/16/4 and Okafor out there missing rotations just like he did last year. SMH.
Now we are jumping on the Myles Turner bandwagon. My Cod.
1. I could be wrong, but you're the kind of fan that expected Hinkie to hit on every draft and every trade. It's impossible you can't hit on every trade you can't hit on every draft. People seem to forget that when Hinkie tanked the right way, he was out tanned by teams that just phoned it in near the end of the season and ended up with a worse record than the 76ers. The only way to increase the odds in the team's favor was to tank without shame. Come on man you can't have forgot about that so soon.
2. Myles Turner? When Myles Turner was coming out professionals scouts,that get paid for their opinions, thought that Turner's body was not sound, he had a funny gait when the ran and they thought he was a disaster waiting to happen. How many teams passed on him? Now you want to hold him up as a shining example of a Hinkie miss because he was an obvious pick?! Again come on man you're better than that.
3. The first part of the process was to accumulate assets and have enough assets that even if you miss on a pick of two the odds are still in your favor that you'll hit one or two out of the ballpark. With the picks and swaps that Hinkie accumulated plus Embiid and Simmions. He did an amazing job. Considering what he started out with.
You want it to be one way....but it's the other way.
