I've been 100 percent behind Hinke until today. I'm probably like 75 percent now. Trading MCW and McDaniels is testing my faith a bit. Not sure where they are going with this.I get the MCW trade...we get the Lakers pick that is top 5 protected this year, top 3 the next 2 years, then unprotected after that. Picked up another first to take on McGee, one that belonged to OKC.
I do not like the McDaniels deal...really liked the player, but he played himself into a pretty good deal since he only signed a 1 year deal.
I think Hinkie must either have his eye on Mudiay or Russell...he sure seems to be bundling stuff together to make a run at the top pick, if needed.
Very strange moves, indeed. I thought the Sixers were actually improving.I've been 100 percent behind Hinke until today. I'm probably like 75 percent now. Trading MCW and McDaniels is testing my faith a bit. Not sure where they are going with this.

Personally I think in order for the Sixers to get serious about winning again, I think it's going to take the fans of Philadelphia to put their foot down and stop putting money in the owner's pocket.
It doesn't take 3 years of tanking to be competitive and win a title. Right now they're just taking advantage of the fans' loyalty.
The more I think about it...the more I like it. MCW is going to the right place in Mil to get tutored by Kidd. Now the thing about him is you really don't know how good he is because he never was around good players to get a real feel for him....was he good because he was a diamond surrounded by trash? We'll find out because Mil has some interesting pieces. We know he can't shoot and we desperately need a shooter at PG. Mudiay is not a shooter, but I think he is big enough to cause some mismatch issues.I don't think I agree with any of this.
I think it takes however long it takes. Often you have to be in the right place at the right time. Where would OKC be if they had to settle for Oden instead of Durant, for instance? The Sixers plan would look different right now if they'd gotten Wiggins, or maybe if Embiid was healthy.
They are collecting picks in what looks like another good draft. They could have as many as 4 first round picks, possibly two in the top 6 or so ifthe Lakers win a few extra games. They are collecting assets in hopes of increasing their odds of hitting a home run on that one guy that can be their cornerstone. I think that's smart.
My question now is why they suddenly didn't see MCW as one of their building blocks. And if the Lakers pick in the top 5 the pick gets pushed into the future and I don't love that.

They got a 1st for just taking on McGee and his contract. I do that without thinking.
McDaniels is tougher to lose, but he screwed up and only signed him to a 1 year deal and did not want to commit to him longterm.
