Damn that’s the best response you can come up with after asking for links? Hold this L


You posted a link that ranked Ty Lawson as a top 20 player in the league. I can't imagine taking a bigger L than that.


Oh well, I’ll still take cbs rankings for whatever yours (probably have Simmons and Embiid in your top 8) But hey the the other 3 still had Hayward in their top 20. We could remove that link and in the end Espn, Si, and the Washington post still had Hayward in the 16-20 range. You probably thought I was making up the rankings that I saw on Hayward which was why you asked for links, your best response had nothing to do with the facts because you know you were wrong. Again, hold this L.


Though I hate stupid memes like "hold this L", I agree there's a big difference between last season's Hayward and current Dario.

I didn't ask you to share links as "proof" I asked you to share links so I could evaluate credibility, and the links you shared have very little. Nothing sums that up better than calling Ty Lawson a top 20 player.


Oh dang define credibility in an opinionated based article ranking players? All I know is Espn, sports Illustrated, cbs, and the Washington post is good enough. I mean most people bring up ESPN and Sports Illustrated related things here all the time. I would surely take their take over what seems like a bias Sixers fan. Like I said, you can choose to ignore that link and focus on the other 3 that had Hayward in their top 20 after when you asked me to show you links. If you think Hayward is 30 or worse so be it, just saying the majority as proven unless you have links (which I highly doubt) has Hayward in their top 20. So show me your links if you got any? If not, then I already showed enough for you to take this L.

And the main point still stands, Hayward from last year is not only a little better than Dario Saric right now. I’m sorry #1 Dario fan you got hurt over me laughing but that’s the truth and even one Sixers fan here agreed. It’s not to say I think of Dario as a bad player, he’s solid but he’s not near what Hayward was last year who was an all star in the West and took his underdog team to beat the clippers with Gobert missing nearly the whole series. He even put up great numbers against the Warriors. So no, Saric this year is not close to Hayward last year. If you can’t agree on that, then I think of you as a homer and I don’t take any of your posts seriously. Buhbye


Fringe top 30 player is not "top 30 or worse" but regardless the links you shared place him above far more impactful players like Gobert, Lillard, Jokic, Kyrie, etc. I'd love for you to create a poll on the PC board to see if people agree with that assessment.

Sounds like you're attributing Gobert's impact last season to Hayward. Good player, not great. Sorry.


Sure he’s an all star at the western conference when he was healthy. Remains to be seen what he is post injury. My definition of great is reserved for a few so I agree with you there. Sorry but Dario Saric is not close to Hayward last year as much as some of your homers might think.


The guy is baiting you. Saric is a 6th man with limited athletic ability, and no stat out there shows he's better than Hayward. Let him be. It's a meaningless conversation. It's as meaningless as saying that he will never be as good as 2 guys who've barely played in the NBA.

Ok I don’t care about your opinion. You asked me to show you links that has Hayward in the 15-20 range. You got it. You try to spin it with the Lawson thing. I asked you to show me links where it has Hayward around the 30 range. I’m assuming you didn’t find any so you’re doing the “make a thread on it” as some last resort to back up your point. I don’t have to make a thread, my point was already made. You should make a thread saying is Dario Saric near Gordon Hayward from last year if you want something that’s laughable. Even some of your own Sixers fans here are agreeing with me. You don’t have to be a blind homer my dude. It’s ok Saric has room to grow and who knows, he could be an all star one day but he ain’t near Gordon Hayward from last season and that’s the bottom line.

First Philly fans don't want to trade Saric for Kawhi, now Saric is as as good as Gordon Hayward?

The guy is a 6th man, easily. I can pull out so many stats. You wont bait me into this conversation. Right after I post a page of stats you gonna write how it's nothing bla bla bla. I'm not wasting my time. You can believe in anything you like to. Good for you if you do so.

If he has an ounce of b-ball knowledge he knows this is nowhere near the truth. Nothing to back it up either, he's trolling. The more you write back the more you feed him.

Yeah. Not only that, the starting PF on the best 5-man unit in the entire league this season (better than GSW or HOU).

When healthy, Hayward is better. Let's see how healthy he is next season before we decide how big the gap is between these two guys.

I don't give a damn about other people's rankings I want to talk about reality. The reality is last year's Hayward is unquestionably not a top 20 player today. You want me to break it down? Fine. Players better than last year's Hayward (in no particular order):

1. LeBron 2. Curry 3. Harden 4. Durant 5. AD 6. Kawhi 7. Giannis 8. Westbrook 9. Embiid 10. CP3 11. Butler 12. Lillard 13. Simmons 14. Gobert 15. Jokic 16. PG13 17. Wall 18. Lowry 19. Boogie 20. Towns 21. Kyrie 22. Oladipo 23. Draymond 24. Kemba 25. DeRozan 26. Aldridge ... He belongs on the next tier with Beal, McCollum, Love, Horford, Millsap. So yeah, fringe top 30.

That is a pretty tight list. I might put a healthy Hayward over Kemba or Aldridge, but you could put Beal, McCollum and Horford in front of him as well. I think top-30 sounds about right.

Again, the 2016-17 Hayward is better than the 2017-18 Saric. I will choose to wait until I see both 2018-19 versions before I set the gap.

The proposed trade was Saric/Fultz/#10 with Fultz being the most valuable asset of the 3. Would be a very short-sighted move considering Kawhi's current situation. And nobody is saying Saric is as good as Hayward last year; just arguing against the idea that Saric being "a little worse" is laughable. It's not.

Towns 21. Kyrie 22. Oladipo 23. Draymond 24. Kemba 25. DeRozan 26. Aldridge ... He belongs on the next tier with Beal, McCollum, Love, Horford, Millsap. So yeah, fringe top 30.


“Ok I don’t care about your opinion”


Obviously you misunderstand. I care about YOUR opinion because that's the one I'm trying to refute. I would love to see how your rankings differ from mine, because that would isolate areas in which we disagree.

Oh yeah, I forgot Klay. Would put him ahead of Hayward too, or at least on the same tier.

The guy is baiting you. Saric is a 6th man with limited athletic ability, and no stat out there shows he's better than Hayward. Let him be. It's a meaningless conversation. It's as meaningless as saying that he will never be as good as 2 guys who've barely played in the NBA.


Why is the starting PF on a 3 seed a "6th man"? :-?


The guy is a 6th man, easily. I can pull out so many stats. You wont bait me into this conversation. Right after I post a page of stats you gonna write how it's nothing bla bla bla. I'm not wasting my time. You can believe in anything you like to. Good for you if you do so.

No please, do so. Saric is obviously a starting caliber player in the NBA, he starts for and is a noticeable contributor for the best rated starting line-up in the league - that's my argument.

Saric is not as good as Hayward was last season, his season would be comparative to between Hayward's fourth and fifth, tho.

What's going on here?


The proposed trade was Saric/Fultz/#10 with Fultz being the most valuable asset of the 3. Would be a very short-sighted move considering Kawhi's current situation. And nobody is saying Saric is as good as Hayward last year; just arguing against the idea that Saric being "a little worse" is laughable. It's not.


:rofl2:

Can't wait to read the rest of these posts when I get a minute. Quality on here does not disappoint. Curious what the barometer for "little worse" is nowadays. Yikes.

Funny how a 1 time All-Star in the heart of his prime is suddenly regarded as a transcendent talent.
