Pelicans In The Market To Make Moves

[Paulius]

Signing Asik to that contract was a mistake

It wasnt at the time bc no one expected thsm to be this bad and tank now

At some point the sixers have to start adding pieces, making trades with all the picks and young players they have and stop being the most disappointing team for 4 years now. Rebuilding shouldnt go on and on for this long. They have to start sooner rather than later. The atmosphere there has to change, they have to start winning or all of those top pick players will lose motivation. I bet its so tough for all those players to keep losing now when they were always on best teams in their career. Its time for them to start doing something, its getting old

I think four years is plenty and now is the time to evaluate and make some trades. I agree. I just think that it's smart to tank all out if you don't plan on being good

 

[cavsfan817]

I agree but i mean if they tank again next year, its kinda like what the fuck, time to making the right moves

I don't think that Colangelo will allow that. That's like the main reason Silver brought him in there

So whT is he planning on doing? Tanking for 5 moee years?

Colangelo? Hell no haha. This is the guy that builds Team USA. He'll focus on putting a winner out there

How did this happen with jerry? How did silver just put him on the team

Silver kind of made them do it. Introduced him and Sixers owner together. I posted a thread about it with a full article with all of the details. Great move for them and the league so that they stop intentionally sucking at an all time level lol

I think tanking is very bad for the development of young players. Fucks with their head

Yeah, especially when you have people like Okafor who doesn't make very good choices anyway apparently hahaha

 

[Paulius]

Especially with top players who are used to winning all their lives

But im sure if he was on a good team with good veterans who woulda taken him under their wing, non of this woulda happened

I think that's a very underrated thing in the league. Often times we lose sight of the fact that these are young kids... We are both older than Okafor lol. And they are playing a grown man's game on a national stage. They need guidance when they're young

You guys realize this is only year three of a complete rebuild, right? These things take time and the Sixers have done an excellent job of acquiring assets.

Just look at what they've done in 2 years time:

I don't think anyone is questioning that they're doing a good job of sucking. The problem is that they haven't gotten a franchise changing player yet, and you can't suck intentionally for 10 years until you land one haha

 

[Paulius]

They have done a nice job i deff agree but its time to start making some trades, bringing in veterans, a superstar with all those picks and young trading assets. If they dont do anything this summer, then ill be disappointed, gotta start somewhere

They've really only drafter for two years and have had somewhat bad luck with two of their guys. Saric is coming to the NBA next year and Embiid I think would have been that guy. If they land something like Simmons and Murray (Lakers pick) does anybody criticize what they've done the last 3 years or does everyone turn into Chad Ford and say they trusted the process all along? I think it's a little premature to start criticizing them.

I have praised them for how they've done it lol. All that I said was that eventually they'll have to abandon ship. I don't think Silver will allow them to keep intentionally sucking year after year. That's why he strong armed them into bringing in Colangelo. But like a page back I've praised how they have handled things.

What kinda superstar are they trading for that's available? Also I'm not entirely sure many Vets are going to want to go to that situation. They don't have the past relationship that Minnesota has with KG. They also shouldn't just trade for the sake of trading, building through the draft is the best way to set up your team to contend. I agree that they should try signing some younger players in the offseason, but I have a hard time believing many players want to go to that situation

 

[BNC]

Worst thing Sixers did was announce they were tanking, look at what the Lakers are doing right now, no one is saying they're not doing this the right way or criticizing them the way they are the Sixers

I know you've supported what they've done, just people in general. I don't think it's been long enough for Silver to intervene, even though he has
