These elaborate conspiracy theories that Colangelo is orchestrating this whole thing to save face is just so beyond ridiculous and clearly an attack on Bryan who has really done exactly what the majority of fans have wanted since he has taken over.
Honestly, as an avid Hinkie supporter, this whole Fultz situation has put myself in a unique perspective. Sometimes it's refreshing to see and "get" both sides of the fence on an issue and for the first time I can really relate to and understand where Hinkie haters are coming from. As annoying as they are, I have to be honest, the blind Hinkie supporters are worse. They are absolutely insufferable. To hold anyone in such a high esteem is just ludicrous. Hinkie did some great things, but he also made some bad mistakes and Hinkie is treated like a god who won this city 20 championships. It's just insane. So anyone who comes after him will be looked down upon and not given a chance because they aren't their god Hinkie. That had embittered a lot of people against Hinkie and Hinkie supporters and I totally see where they're coming from now. It's essentially a sports version of a mob mentality, and Colangelo who has been really good so far is being taken out to pasture for it, and Fultz being trashed is a byproduct of the ENTIRE thing, which makes him collateral damage basically.
hinkie got us in this situation and never got the chance to make the next steps. the mcw-trade was genius and there is more reason to believe he would have pulled the trigger on noel and/or jah way earlier than BC, who got basically nothing for them.
im not a blind colangelo-hater because i just hate him. when he talks, he says nothing and/or lies. u already forgot how he handled the embiid-injury last season? embiid teared his meniscus and because of a national tv game, embiid played that game and probably have made it worse.
regarding fultz, nobody here is "right" either liking or hating that trade, because fultz only played 4 games and looked horrible because of his injury or no injury related shot. we will see if he comes back strong, but this crazy amount of time he gets for "muscle imbalance" is weird and very very rare, ****, i still dont even know a comparable case...
i always try to be as objective as i can and i have absolute no problems to give BC props for good things. he got rid off jah way too late, but at this point he had no value at all and to land a very good benchplayer in booker for a 2nd round pick was a great move.
i dont know what other moves from him were that great tbh. the bayless contract was horrible, which puts us now in the situation, we may have to add an asset to get rid off him to get more flexibility back. bayless is trash and he gave him 9m/y for 3 years...
you should think about another nick-change
