what kind of contracts will hinkie give out when its time to give them out? thats all i'm wondering. to be clear, i have a TON of faith in him and i love the plan in motion, but just looking at other gm's even in this city, amaro and holmgren could wheel and deal, but they were terrible with money.

The strength of this draft was the tier that is normally around 18 to 25 was more like 18 to 42. In that tier I would say there is about a 5% chance of getting an all star, a 25 percent chance of getting an nba starter, a 50% chance of getting an nba bench player and 25% chance of a total bust.

This year that tier was about 3x as large, which means that there is a very good chance there is an all-star and about 6 nba starters in this group.

And yes I do like McDaniel, he looks like an excellent chance with his skill set to become the so-called d and 3 from the wing.

SIXERS = 22 (+32, allowed 313 points)
Boston = 22 (0, allowed 330 points)
Indiana = 21 (eliminated)
Detroit = 19 (eliminated)
Memphis = 16 (+25, allowed 221 points)
Orlando = 16 (eliminated)
Miami = 13.5 (eliminated)
OKC = 12 (eliminated)
Brooklyn = 7 (eliminated)
Houston = 3.5 (eliminated)

MEM/HOU on now

The Sixers are guaranteed a spot in tomorrow's championship
Memphis needs to win one more quarter (they won the 1st) then win the overall game to eliminate Boston

more reps is a good thing. Also clearing achievable benchmarks I guess is a thing they should be striving for so cool. I hope we win

I think it's more about opportunity and time... Than anything else. It was like the sixers were afraid to see what Evan turner could do, last year we saw it and said no thanks. The same goes for Thad, he was given a chance to add the three pointer to his game and see if there was a little more to Thad than just a good role player, so far the results on that were negative. They gave James Anderson more than enough time that not only was he not an nba starter but not worth taking time from someone else even as a role player on the bench who may be.

BRETT: His mind has been torn apart from ingesting too much smoke. We need a GM who understands the important of vaping.
HARRIS: Vaping is for losers.

MEDIA: What was your mindset when you flipped Jrue for MCW and Noel?
HINKIE: I don't really remember. I took 3 dab hits and then everything went blurry for a few hours. Next thing you know, I'm standing next to MCW and Noel baked as fuck.

Thad Young: I'm really thinking that I want to be traded to a winner.
Hinkie: *hits fat blunt* They say the grass is always greener *blows out 3 smoke rings around Thad's face and passes* but I got the greenest grass there is.
Brett Brown: *coughs up blunt hit* bahahahahahaha
