What are the Sixers doing?

Sixers gonna sixer

Magic gonna Magic.

MCW I wouldn't care about but McDaniels would really piss me off if I were a 76ers fan. Why the hell would you make that move?

I had an old sandwich, should have traded it for Covington.

So dumb.

You realize he's an rfa right? He'll attract a penny hinkie doesn't want to pay. So cash out?

If he signed that 4 yr, 2 of which guaranteed type deal...then yes, hinkie would've kept him.

Plus, Canaan is being criminally underrated.

Give it time. Rome wasn't built in a day.

So I'm dumb but trading a 2nd rounder that actually pans out is smart? What is the point then? Just hoping your picks suck so they will be affordable?

Good luck but the 76ers team building plans sounds like a damned pyramid scheme. Hinkie is the only dude cashing out for as long as people believe this is actually leading somewhere.

I disagree with the people that say Hinkie is incompetent, but I understand where they come from.

The people that actually think he's running some of scheme though, I find hilarious. What exactly do you think his end game is? Do you think he decided on day one "Oh man, I am completely over my head trying to make a basketball team good. I better just completely give up. BUT in the mean time, I'm just going to keep trading for future picks, off of which I make ABSOLUTELY NO MONEY AT ALL, but I still like getting the picks anyway, so I can keep my job for an extra year or two before my owner wises up and I will have to resign in disgrace and get black balled from the league I have spent the last decade in cultivating a career."

The guy has an MBA from Stanford. If he wants to make money, he has much better ways to make money than being a crappy NBA team's GM. If he wants to be famous, he wouldn't be hiding from the media like they have the plague.

Canaan is breaking out....
31 points
7 boards
6 assists
3 turnovers
1 steal

on 16 shots
100% at the FT line.

Took the Sixers (one of the worst NBA teams ever assembled) to overtime and came within an eyelash of punking OKC. That's pretty good for a 2nd year guy who has only played a spate of minutes in his career, just playing in his 7th game for that team.

When you have nothing, it's not worth developing players who don't have high ceilings. Do you see Michael Carter Williams being good enough to carry an entire team. Role players are worth developing only when you already have some player of the potential of Tim Duncan, Lebron James, or Anthony Davis. If you're best player is MCW, and you're building off of that... you're just going to end up in mediocrity.

You took my context out, but whatever.

I wouldn't say the Sixers have nothing. Prior to the trade, I had MCW, Noel, Covington (nice find), Wroten and Embiid. I wasn't against trading KJM as he got pretty good run to show what he could do. It's better to trade once you develop them and they do not seem to fit.

Hinkie thinks he will hit the home run by drafting a superstar. That's very far and very few in-between like LBJ. The guy who is the CONSENSUS may not be the superstar player. Look at KD, Harden, Paul George, KG, Jordan, etc.

The Sixers were one of the teams that I thought had a strong, young core. With a healthy Embiid next year, Saric coming over the following year, their promising young players (MCW,Noel, McDonough), and the likelihood of picking some more good players in the draft the Sixers looked good for the future.

Who is McDonough? McDaniels?

Dont see why you can't understand trading KJ. It's like the Orlando Magic signing channing Frye. Horrible horrible move. But when the 76ers do the opposite people like you pile on.

It sounds like a lot of people don't actually know what a pyramid scheme is.

Vucevic is better than any player the Sixers have...

And is also better than anyone on the Raptors. Yet the Magic struggle to win 30% of their games. Your point?

I don't understand Magic fans' criticizing us. They have 6 more wins than us with our roster being in constant flux and our top prospect out.

Because I Don't respect the way the the sixers are going about it. You've got teams out there (like the magic) who are trying, but just aren't very good yet, and then you have the the sixers who trade away everybody and put a team full of D-Leaguers on the court while hoping a praying to get the #1 pick.

The funny part is you guys wanted Wiggins so bad last year and that didn't work out but Hinkies back @ it again. At least we can all say the dudes persistent lol.

Nice try but massive fail. Please point to one article or quote or story of Hinkie saying he wanted Wiggins? Why would Hinkie be upset with getting the top prospect in Embiid?

And what's your team's poor excuse for being back in the lottery again and only having six more wins than us? So your team is barely better than D Leaguers? That's a YOU problem and is more of an indictment on your team.

i love the sixers aren't trying nonsense. The front office is making more moves than any other franchise in an effort to build something that lasts and the players bust their butts every game.

Just because they don't subscribe to the old school mentality that you need to try to win the championship overnight that means they aren't trying? You guys make it sound like there is something special about making moves that get you to the 8th pick in the draft.

If you disagree with how the Sixers are rebuilding then that's fine, however the players and coaches are trying every game and the front office is trying to get the best assets whether that be prospects or picks (imagine eventually optionality to trade for better players as well, however still too early for that). If the Sixers were trying to get worse and trade everybody they would have traded Noel and the other wings that had actually been performing better than KJ had been and they certainly wouldn't have traded for Canaan and claimed TRob. Sixers have young players with potential that just aren't very good yet, in fact they're not much worse than the Magic's prospects if we're going by victories, difference being is that they're going to add a bunch of prospects via the draft and Embiid (Saric too).

Sixers didn't tank last season to get Wiggins specifically, they tanked to get a top draft pick and ultimately a top prospect which they did and now back at it to get another, which they will (right now guaranteed a top 5 pick and 5 first round picks over the next two drafts).

[76ciology]

Last year, people bash because Sixers drafted Noel and they say he's red flagged medically.

This year, Noel looks very durable and has shown a lot of progress in almost every aspect of his game.

BTW, right now Wiggins is just better than Noel in PER by .1 (13.2 vs 13.1), but Noel's been a LOT better in VORP and DBPM. All that with Noel being less than a year older.

I can't wait for next year. All these threads will rise from the dead.

[LloydFree]

I find these threads hilarious. The only teams worried about the 76ers methods are other Tanking teams and teams the 76ers have recently completed trades with for their picks. The fact that an outside fan base is angry or critical at the method should be reassuring to the 76ers.

Hold up, hold up smart guy, I'm not letting you off on calling me a plagiarist. I didn't even know what article you were talking about but I just saw the one on the general board written Mar.3rd. My comments in this thread date from Feb. 28 and earlier.

So like I said, they should be quoting me, SON! Still haven't read that Grantland ish and I don't need to cuz my knowledge is real. If you want to learn something and not look dumb read what I write a keep quiet.

Not all the Magic fans sir !

Our teams both sucks
