he's probably mad because the sixers finessed the system perfectly and ended up with their pick in the process (pun intended)

 

[tyevvyotcu]

hinkie is a genius man i don't care what anyone says...
took an 11th overall pick, won roty and traded him while his value was high for potentially a top 4 pick in a deep draft
turned jrue holiday into nerlens noel and dario saric
and earned the right to swap picks for essentially taking on nick stauskas..

 

[awwsome]

Okafor with DNPs in two of the last three games. Oof.

Everybody giving Hinkie credit but this was a mistake for sure.

 

[dat dude chris]

Oak is trash. Im glad Brett Brown sitting him for Noel

Okafor with DNPs in two of the last three games. Oof.

I think they've realized Okafor isn't going to look spectacular no matter how many minutes they give him off the bench so they're highlighting Noel instead cause he's looking great with his defense and hustling. He even made a couple jumpers today that looked real good. I think it'll continue like this every game til we trade Noel cause there's only enough time for one of them to play behind Embiid in order to get them enough time to highlight them to potential trade partners.

nope
nobody knew if embiid would ever play
and porzingis refused to workout with them
dlo was supposed to be there for them but LA messed that up so in that situation you have to take BPA

Sixers have done nothing of note, I'll hold the Hinkie praises til then

 

[tyevvyotcu]

also sixers fans...
is simmons coming back anytime soon?
ready to see how he fits with embiid

He'll be back very soon, possibly before the All-Star break. He's traveling with them on the road now and doing pregame workouts with them doing drills and running around. He looks like he's back in top shape again from the pics I've seen.

From watching the Lakers this season they have a young exciting core to watch. A legit player's coach who led the Warriors to a 39-4 although you can argue it was the roster he had. They may end up losing the pick this year depending on record and they do have those horrible contracts from moz and deng but they look like they can have a solid team in the next couple years. Randle looks like a triple double threat. Dlo shows flashes but is too inconsistent for now and he jacks up too many 3s. It's too early to decided on Ingram but I can see some potential with his length and scoring ability. Clarkson looks like a solid piece that can come off the bench and possible be in the running for 6th man in a couple years. There bench of nance, black, and Robinson look like decent role players. And they can use Lou and swaggy p as trade bait for more young assets or can just hang on to them to compliment there young players. Future is not looking so bad for Post Kobe era Lakers

Well I have this..

 

Mamba must've been one of the lakers fans that was literally rooting against his team the last four seasons.

I wanted them to tank to get young talent precisely for that reason. Same with this year, making a playoff push is useless.

 

[jsindaa]

Welp

 

[tyevvyotcu]

so being trash because your FO is incompetent is cool but being trash on purpose to get out of purgatory isn't cool?

 

[nick.]

 

[MVP]

The Lakers haven't been actively trying to tank, they're just bad. And I guess you don't have anything about the Clippers. Cool.

I'm saying.


Dude sounds crazy.

 

[tyevvyotcu]

the double standards in this thread lol

 

[dat dude chris]

Well I have this..

GOT EEM! I knew you was down with the tank Mamba. Its ok fam

 

[JD617]

They employed Byron Scott for 2 years (the worst coach in the league and someone you Laker fans referred to as the Tank Commander) and let Kobe do whatever he wanted to the detriment of the team, but they weren't trying to tank?
