That and the actual city of Philly is great, and it's a top 5 market. Jah coulda done a LOT worse than here.

it maybe because of our temporary situation... roster ain't the sexiest active roster there is...
& the bad press we get... 76ers are one of the most Historic franchises in the league, most HOF players outside of LAL & Boston... like...3rd? winningest franchise in the league.. (going off 2K facts) top 5 market. People get lost in the NOW, & all of the negative press... they legit fail to realize, or acknowledge in how good of a situation we're in. Legit we're in a better situation than both NYK & LAL... I trust LA to get it together sooner though...NYKs are a hot mess.

Lol what ??? serious question how are yall not in a worse situation than NY ?

we have 4 first round draft picks next year and will have 70 mil in cap room.

- Because we're not paying a diminishing 31 year old upwards of $80 millions over the next 4 years.
- Because we don't have a clueless dinosaur half-ass running our front office.
- Because our team is actually loaded with assets and future picks.

We have our pick next year just for starters, along with several others.

What does that matter tho if we dont have a pick next year and you do ??? If you still exactly where your at from a year before ? With a cluster **** roster ? It's not making the team better and be honest nobody wants to go to philly right now your own draft pick doesn't even wanna be there ...nothing good about philly right now not that hard to see i dont Mean it in a disrespectful kinda way im tellin it like it is tho

no doubt man ! I'm just saying he doesn't wanna be in philly but he has no damn choice but to suck it up

Because we don't have a clueless dinosaur half-ass running our front office.

The jury is still out on Jackson. I don't think you can say he's failed already. He gets **** for trading Shump and Smith for nothing, but Hinkie probably would have done the same thing. They probably should have moved on from Melo, true. But I thought drafting Prozingis took guts, and the Grant deal was a good one.

Jackson talks like a dinosaur, but he's just in the beginning phases of a rebuild. Give him a couple years.

A lot more than what's going on in philly for sure whether you want to admit it or not im not saying nyc is where it's at right now and that we are the prime destination but what I am saying is that compared to philly and a lot of other places nyc has its advantages

It's funny tho who was going to buy high on jr and shump ?? Lol there stock was super slow same with tyson ...you weren't getting much for them not at that time especially the way they were playing I get what phil is doing tho his building for the future and also around melo free agency is where he has to make it happen at

yes,yes they have

Unlike NYK, our situation can change in a hurry.

- We have 4 first round draft picks next year (and I believe at least 2 in 2017 - so far)
- We have 3 big men who were all arguably the top talents of the last 3 drafts
- We'll have enough cap flexibility to sign two max players
- We're loaded with international prospects - including Dario Saric, arguably the top Euro prospect out there.

Yes, we need to shape things out and start piecing this thing together, but the pieces are there to create a promising sustainable foundation.

The Knicks are committed to a disgruntled, overpaid, low character cornerstone guy for the next 4 years - you've mortgaged your future so many times in recent history, only to be left with a putrid roster that couldn't even compete with our JV team from last year. You're primed for a terrible season in 2015-16 with no pick to look forward to. Don't mean it in a disrespectful kinda way, I'm just tellin' it like it is.

Actually you do have an idiot running your damn front office and that 31 year old is better than every single player on your entire roster but besides that I still agree with damn near everything you said

Your max deal with 31 year old Melo means you have to be in a win now mode. You don't have your own pick next year. How is Melo and Shawn Bradley 2.0 going to win now? Okafor will snap that twig in half.

so sucking as much as you can to try and stockpile talent hoping that atleast one of them turn out to be something special is a way to build a team how delusional can you be ? Listen I dont agree with a lot of the things the knicks did but one thing I do agree with is what phil doing and how he doing it a lot of the damage that was done was before phil and he is shaping a team into his vision im not and idiot I don't buy into that bs the media try's to swing about melo the only ones that do believe it are the ones that try to use that bs as a means to get there points across phil sold melo on the future on his vision and melo brought in free agency and the draft are what is going to determin where we go as a team this was phils first year and he did what he could idk what more you could possible ask from phil right now so it's weird when your talking about a putrid roster as if that's not what you have your not in any way a better position than nyc and is Dario coming over ? I thought he didn't wanna sign with yall ?

? That's great but I feel like your trading some of those picks your not keeping all of them and if you do that's great im not knocking the 76ers like its some God awful franchise see the east sucks right now and with free agency basically here and the knicks having money with the right pieces they can make the playoffs especially in the east lol now getting far ......I doubt it highly doubt it but it's all about building a team the right way 76ers can have all the money in the world but if nobody comes or nobody special than it's meaningless it's obvious are teams are taking to different approaches to achieve the same goal only time will tell which team was the most successful with there plan right ? I just didn't see how your in a better position than us right now

Yes kind sir but just so I understand in a conversation about basketball on the Internet why is grammar and punctuation an issue if you can understand exactly what I'm saying ? It's pretty obvious you can

Knicks did a good job in the draft BTW. Porzingis was the best choice at the 4th pick, Jerian and Porzingis should really well in the triangle.

But I do think Sixers is in better position. Because unlike the Knicks, sixers don't have any baggage that slows them down. They are all in, in that both feet walk in the same direction.
