He decided to leave. You don't actually believe this......... So the Dubs killer Avery Bradley is gone, but will the Cs still give them some fits like in the last few years? I think Dubs by 10+ today....And not a major coincidence, but Bradley goes to the Pistons and they beat the Dubs earlier this season lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They wanted the Sixers to try to start winning, not put a hit out on Hinkie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mossburg Posted November 16, 2017 Share Posted November 16, 2017 ^So under Hinkie the Sixers would still be tanking this season? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pastor Dillon Posted November 16, 2017 Share Posted November 16, 2017 So as of today James Harden leads the league in scoring and assists. The Assists will go down with CP3 back, but i think Harden might finally break through and lead the league in scoring this year. Hes been #2 like 3 or 4 years now and has lead the league in points scored twice....but has no scoring title... As for Embiid and Simmons, they are a great young pair, but lets not forget a few years ago the Thunder took Durant, Westbrook and Harden in 3 straight drafts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Sixers aren't some high level team this year. They have a negative point differential on the season and if they lose their next game they would be out of the playoffs in a mediocre East. Would he have signed JJ who is 2nd on the team in minutes? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well certainly his plan isn't to tank forever. Signing JJ or not, when all the talent is healthy to start the season, it's not unreasonable to think at this point it's time to assemble and see why you tanked.

Mossburg Posted November 16, 2017 Share Posted November 16, 2017 I don't follow. All the tanking seasons, key player never even played. He never had the talent even last year's team had to work with. Him trying to win then (and by "win", try to be close to .500) would hamper what is happening now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They were still one of the worst teams last year so I'm guessing that it would be this year. Hinkie quit because 'my masterpiece is ruined, oh no'. He had the opportunity to try and win this year, he didn't take them up on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mossburg Posted November 16, 2017 Share Posted November 16, 2017 Oh I see, you're still operating under the assumption that he voluntarily walked away. In which case, I'd just point to the obvious that the core was 100% thanks to him, and regardless of what supporting player moves he would or would not make, and unless you think he would go to the coach and tell him we need to start losing, it's perfectly reasonable to assume the team looks not much different today if he never leaves in the win/loss column early in 2017.

So you are saying if he wanted the job he wouldn't still be there? So not only did they put an effective plot to get Hinkie out, they got Hinkie to play along. 33 minutes ago, Mossburg said: In which case, I'd just point to the obvious that the core was 100% thanks to him, and regardless of what supporting player moves he would or would not make, and unless you think he would go to the coach and tell him we need to start losing, it's perfectly reasonable to assume the team looks not much different today if he never leaves in the win/loss column early in 2017. ok, I'm saying their intention of hiring BC was to help them start winning, not to get Hinkie out. Whether he did that effectively is not really relevant to that point. Plus it's only been like a year. Plus JJ is kinda important to their team, which btw is still pretty mediocre at this point. He is 2nd in minutes, 3rd in assists, and 4th in minutes. I'm out of the Hinkie talk. He might have had the easiest job of any GM ever. last thing, did Hinkie draft Simmons?

J-ALL-DAY Posted November 16, 2017 Share Posted November 16, 2017 Um, the reason they took Simmons was because they had the #1 pick which was with Hinkie. I'm sure Hinkie would have taken him if he was still on the team. That's a no-brainier. Anyways, definitely time to move on........ Booker dropping 34+ on H-Town today.

He did a bunch of no-brainer things, only thing that made his situation unique was that someone let him. So no, he didn't draft Simmons. Or Fultz. I'm really done now.
