The Sixers have been this bad for how long now? And they STILL have NOBODY!

[TonyMontana]

:oldlol: :oldlol:

There isn't a single player on this team who I think is even worth shit. Are Sixer fans really justifying this shit? It's unwatchable and there is nothing to show for it. I'd rather watch mediocre Andre Iguodala, Andre Miller teams than a bunch of noname fuks suck the biggest *** every year.

What the hell are they doing with all these draft picks?

Jalil Okafor is the typical shitty no defense statpadder on a shit team.

Nerlens Noel is the only guy I could actually ever see getting burn at any point on a good team, and it's in a role that would be defensive specialist off the bench. Not a pillar for the team.

The rest of the players I have never heard of in my entire life.

[StephHamann]

Stauskas?

[WayOfWade]

Preach! :rockon:

[TonyMontana]

Stauskas?

A shooting specialist that shoots under 30% from three.

His rookie year he shot 32%. Keep in mind he does nothing other than shoot threes. The Kings were willing to give up this lottery pick for nothing. He has to suck, yes?

[midatlantic09]

Stauskas?

Out of the League in 3 yrs...

Noel, Okafor and Saric should all be good. Okafor isn't that bad on defence and he's only a rookie.

[I<3NBA]

well, ever since they started tanking, who among the draft picks did they miss?

[midatlantic09]

well, ever since they started tanking, who among the draft picks did they miss?

CJ McCullom
Giannis

[AI09]

CJ McCullom
Giannis

I'm not 100% sure but I think they drafted Noel over CJ, they didn't miss out at all noel is better. They could've drafted Giannis over MCW tho.

[raprap]

Terrible strategy. I feel bad for the sixer fans. Hopefully they get a transcending player soon

[SwishSquared]

well, ever since they started tanking, who among the draft picks did they miss?MCW over Giannis for sure. We won't know if they actually valued MCW over a guy like Giannis, but that seemed to be more of a "fit" pick after trading Jrue a few mins earlier (esp considering they've taken guys with similar body types with mix of height/length/athleticism in 2nd round and undrafted FAs). We could argue not getting Gobert was a letdown, but honestly nobody was gonna take him in the lotto.

If Embiid can never be a starter or be healthy for a significant amount of time, that'll be a whiffed pick.

Long-term I think that Okafor over Porzingis will be a mistake, but KP would look much worse imo on a team like Philly with limited perimeter players. I've posted this a ton, but I think they took Okafor simply b/c he was a better bet to put up counting stats on a bad team to pump up his trade value.

Hinkie has been much better in trades than in the draft, based on the small sample size we have of his picks.They've had bad lotto luck for 2 straight years though, so you can't hold that against him.

[I<3NBA]

CJ McCullom
Giannis
well, those are not too egregious.

i think they're fine. they just really ben unlucky with the draft.

if they get 1 pick, and they still miss, that's when you start questioning their decision to tank.

This ***** Noel literally just faked an injury to get out the game

[AI09]

We have the assets and cap to either trade for draft or sign a one. The 2016 draft will be huge for philly, they will have potentially 4 first rounders 2 could be in the top 5. Also Dario Saric will be coming over and hopefully Embiid can get healthy. Add that to Noel and Okafor and you got yourself a promising young core. They will most likely make a trade either at the deadline or in the off season I can't see how Okafor Embiid Noel Saric can coexist w.o butting heads or complaining for time. The trade will be even more like if they draft another big man with one of their first rounders. I hope we can land the number 1 pick and draft Simmons but I think the nba will rig the draft for lakers or celtics (own the Nets pick).
Philly could potentially have 2 prospects from this list this upcoming draft
Simmons
Murray
Jaylen Brown
Brandon ingram
Skal
Bender

I'd be extremely happy with Simmons/Murray but I wouldn't mind jaylen or ingram. That would be the best thing that can happen to the sixers this draft.
Simmons
Okafor
Noel
Embiid
Saric
Murray/jaylen/ingram
2 more late first rounders
We would have a legimate team oozing potential,than you throw guys like Covington, Grant maybe Stauskas in the mix and maybe than a FA will come to philly. Best part is we have no long term commitments and all our guys will have a lot of trade value due to their potential age and little to nothing contracts.

Yeah 76ers look like they need a strong PG

Murray would be an amazing pick. Maybe even take Ulis too in the 2nd round

[GOBB]

No thanks on Skal. Simmons, Murray, Brown, Dunn


Long-term I think that Okafor over Porzingis will be a mistake

Why?

[Jameerthefear]

No thanks on Skal. Simmons, Murray, Brown, Dunn



Why?
Porzingis fits more into the current NBA.

[SwishSquared]

No thanks on Skal. Simmons, Murray, Brown, Dunn



Why?Like Jameer said- he'll basically always be more mobile on D and his best asset on offense makes him easier to wedge into lineups. Kristaps could very well be above average on both O and D, and I think realistically Okafor will be average on D, at the most important defensive position.

[Jon_Koncak]

You know things are bad when Philly fans expect Dario Saric as some kind of savior.Let me tell you sth,he's an Ersan Ilyasova type of player..ok but nothing spectacular.Certainly not star material.

Who called Saric a savior? I wouldn't mind a Ilyasova type player.

[coin24]

They'll never learn, you can't just draft a winning team. No one is developing the young guys, they don't want to be there. They surround the few bright spots they have with DLeaguers and no guidance..

The cap space is worthless no one decent is signing there and every rookie in the 16 draft is going to be praying they don't end up there... I see another 2-3 years of the same shit

[LoneyROY7]

Andrew Bynum cursed the shit outta dem boys. :oldlol:

How much do you make a year for talkin out of your ass? Find me these sixers fans who think he is a savior. Most sixers fans are expecting someone to help contribute and be apart of the core barring any trade. Boris Diaw type player. Not bad not great. Just solid who can do a little of everything and fit in.

Find me the fans who claimed he was star material. I'll wait or u can save us both time and say u were talking out ur ass.

[Levity]

if the sixers land a top 3 pick (seems very likely) and get the lakers pick on top of that (4 or later), hopefully the "tanking" stops and the "rebuild" actually commences.

the FA pool this summer isnt the most exciting, but there are certainly players out there that fit their needs. a winning culture needs to be implemented at some point, so with saric coming over and possiblly 2 top 5 picks in the upcoming draft, might as well start then. because losing-season after losing-season really has to do something to their players mentalities.

That kind of player would make your team like 3-17 instead of 1-19... you'd still be the shittiest team in the league

[Milbuck]

Porzingis fits more into the current NBA.
He fits more into any version of the NBA. Just a better overall prospect regardless of league trends in style of play...jump hooks, spin moves, fadeaways, can shoot all the way out to 3, good rebounder, great defensive instincts, plays physical/aggressive despite his thin frame, 7'3" 7'6" wingspan athletic freak, and most importantly, isn't a temperamental diva..5-6 years from now when he matures into his frame and refines his game I honestly wouldn't be surprised if he's the highest impact player in the league.

[Sarcastic]

Porzingis was more of a gamble. Filly made the right pick with Okafor from a risk standpoint. From a fit with the current team standpoint, Okafor was an awful pick. 3 young centers that won't be able to share the court together. Doing to centers what Minnesota did with pgs.

Ironically Minnesota skipped on taking Curry who had more risk, and Filly skipped on taking Porzingis for the same reason. Both are probably kicking themselves over it. :lol

[LoneyROY7]

The Sixers got GOBB'd. It's the only logical explanation.

yea it's not about fit, Porzingis is the better talent. Okafor is a Eddy Curry floor and Al Jefferson ceiling type of player. Guy has more wins in fights off the court than games on the court, let that sink in

Embiid injury really set us back. He doesn't get hurt, and sixers are healthy. We aren't starting 0-18 or whatever it was. Probably have 5-6 wins at least. Nothing major but the season wouldn't have gone as it has.

But if that scenario u laid out happened I don't see us tanking.

Also not buying Saric coming over. Just doesn't make cents, but if he does cool.

I'm patient. Letting this play out. No issues with this way of rebuilding. It may not work. I wouldn't be upset.

Philly should be looking for ONLY homeruns with their model. Unless they're SURE they have a homerun already on the roster or more likely they decided they wanted a trade piece and that is why they went low risk because you don't do that with trade pieces.

[dhsilv]

This is year 3 of the tanking. Not a long time. The team started with basically an injured point guard as their only real asset, they'd traded away first round picks. This team from a competition stand point was a mess.

They now have a few prospects. A lot of draft picks. Real potential to get a guy like Simmons. And nearly endless cap space.

There aren't 10 teams in a better position to compete for a title over the next 10 years. Now starting next year they'll need to start making progress but they have every single tool to start doing that. We'll see what they do next.
