Re: Ready to See the Lakers Get the Number One Pick Tonight?
So pissed the Celtics got 3rd pick. I was praying for top 2 and of course the ping pong balls don't bounce in our favor. No idea who I want the Celtics to take now but it doesn't matter, I want them to trade it away.
If we do keep it, I liked Chad Ford's newest lock for the Celtics. Had us taking Jamal Murray at 3, Ante Zizic and 16 and Thon Maker at 23. I think if we want Maker he's going to have to be taken at 16. Maker can be our project here while Zizic can stay overseas and develop.

Re: Ready to See the Lakers Get the Number One Pick Tonight?
I would draft him and wouldn't look back. Let him take time and develop, trade Gordon or Oladipo or something for a slightly older vet piece or keep them sign Harrison Barnes to offer sheet and take it from there.lakeshowak7 wrote:How long will we have to wait to find out if this holds true?

Re: Ready to See the Lakers Get the Number One Pick Tonight?
I think Gordon is a stud. I dont see the hype about Thon tbh. He might never make everything click. However his potential is off the charts. Idk if hes going in the lottery tho.WillyJakkz wrote:I would draft him and wouldn't look back.

I really hope 76ers will pick the 7'1'' Croatian Dragan Bender He is only 18! Already played pro basketball. (Kristaps Porzingis 2.0)

Re: Ready to See the Lakers Get the Number One Pick Tonight?
The Sixers were rewarded for bringing in the Colangelo's by getting the 1st pick. All they had to do was get rid of Hinkie and the NBA gave them what they wanted. Now we're hopefully on the upswing.

You could have a monkey in Hinkies place, 76ers would still get that 1st pick, would the monkey be a genius as well?

Re: Ready to See the Lakers Get the Number One Pick Tonight?
Look at the bottom line dude. His tenure resulted in a very very good team starting from next year plus plenty of future assets left. With Embiid back and 1st pick, Okafor, Noel, Saric etc thats more assets than most of your playoff teams. +2 more picks in this years draft. Pretty good stuffNuggOlesk wrote:I don't understand you people.. siting on a toilet and shitting, after that you see shit in the toilet...you must be a genius?andrei wrote:So Hinkie was a genius after all?

Re: Ready to See the Lakers Get the Number One Pick Tonight?
How anyone (besides the NBA) can think that Hinkie did a poor job is beyond me. He has put the 76ers in a position to be very, very good in the future with the amount of assets he has collected. The NBA obviously hates what he's done because he's basically made a franchise irrelevant for about five seasons but look at them now? Embiid, Noel, Okafor, Saric, Simmons/Ingram with a couple other first this year is a great collection.
With that said, does Philly want Marcus Smart for Embiid?

I think they can do much better than Smart if they ever explored trading Embiid.

Haha, if a real fix happens nobody would ever know except high level NBA officials. I'm starting to think you are Adam Silver with how badly you defend the NBA. If so, thank you Adam for the good lottery "luck".

Re: Ready to See the Lakers Get the Number One Pick Tonight?
Look dude, bottom line is, he didn't do it. He just let scrubbs lose games and get good pick, that doesn't need skill. Take random team that has his own pick for 4 years, just don't resign good players, sign random scrubbs, play scrubbs big minutes, you have the same result.

Re: Ready to See the Lakers Get the Number One Pick Tonight?
Great Hinkie was able to accumulate the assets he did for Philly, they knew the plan going into it but brilliant they now have Jerry Colangelo to now flip those assets into a great team, that's his m.o., not too many better at that.
Wouldn't be surprised to see Cousins in Philly with another execllent player.
