I read your posts in the tone of Charlie Browns teacher

Lol

So, can someone give me an estimated time when this team might be done with the "process" so they can start with developing ?

its been less than two and a half years

yea like its going to turn around tomorrow....you are such a pathetic homer excuse maker for this wretched franchise

so in 2.5 years theyve added 2 players who cant even play together. thats it. they might add 1 or 2 more players by next year. then we have to see how they play together. meanwhile theyre 1-18 and a laughingstock of sports. but they won on tuesday, j! gooooooooooooo team.

[smeags]

Yeah but Saric ? Embiid ?

[ice grillin you]

tomorrow?....follow the nba much?....it takes years to build up to a championship level...there are a few exceptions to the rule like san antonio tanking to get tim duncan....but generally it takes years to get the players then a few years for them to come into their own....and guess what its almost guaranteed to not happen....10 teams have won the last 35 nba titles...but sixers were one of them....so they got that going for them

so in 2.5 years theyve added 2 players who cant even play together. thats it.

your GOAT bucks have won two playoff series in the last quarter century and have added six players in the last two years who cant play together but YES they are 7-12 and on their way!

meanwhile theyre 1-18 and a laughingstock of sports. but they won on tuesday, j! gooooooooooooo team.

waaaaah boo hoo they are 1-18.....i so wish they were .500 right now with no future cause id feel so much better if people werent laughing at me

[ice grillin you]

in the next three years you will have some combination of the following players and picks or other pieces that can be acquired from this pool:

covey
saric
embiid
nn
big jah
16 top 3 pick own pick
16, 17 or 18 lakers first rounder
16 heat first rounder
16 thunder first rounder
sacramento swap option in 16 or 17

is it going to work....again probably not...but thats a shtein ton of potential to play with...what you shouldnt be doing it wetting your pants 30 months into this

[phattymatty]

i actually do think it's going to work. maybe it's just wishful thinking because my favorite team at the moment is terrible.

even if the lottery doesn't go our way (which we all know it won't) they are going to have a very solid, young core of 6-8 players after next year. with most teams getting older they are going to be in a very good spot for a while. add in the cap space to sign an eventual all-star or two and they are good to go. i think people are making too much noise about cap space though, doesn't really mean shtein these days.

not guaranteeing a championship or anything but they will be in the thick of it for a while. and for the record i think simmons is far and away best player also. just pointing out that mr. journalist has no idea yet keeps repeating himself over and over. yes ben would be amazing but a handful of other guys does not kill the process.

[smeags]

I'm trying to stay positive, doesn't help when the other three teams in the city suck as well.

Would like to get jersey, love the new unis. Affraid, if I get okafor hell end up traded for 10 picks in 2018

covey -- stinks
saric --- potentially exciting, but a complete unknown and potential headcase
embiid -- lol
nn -- good defender
big jah -- can score, cement feet
16 top 3 pick own pick -- wont be simmons
16, 17 or 18 lakers first rounder -- likely will be mid lotto if not worse
16 heat first rounder -- outside the lotto
16 thunder first rounder --- outside the top 20
sacramento swap option in 16 or 17 --- no need to swap this year, though 17 has promise

exciting, right

[PhillyPhreak54]

Covington stinks? Lolololololol

please stop trying to evaluate players you've never really seen and certainly have never truly watched in a league you don't understand

you wanna breakdown the union im all ears...pro basketball way out of your scope of knowledge

[phattymatty]

shhhh just let him say simmons over and over to make him feel better.

okafor, cement feet. or pretty much the best footwork of any rookie big man in forever.

covington doesn't stink but he looks better than he is because no one else can shoot. he'd be a solid bench guy on a good team but if he's starting in 2 years something went wrong.

the lakers is still a head scratcher to me. at no time in the next 2 years are they going to be good.

i would't be too surprised if the OKC pick ends up being not terrible also...something is not right there.

[MDS]

Covington stinks? Lolololololol

hes a nobody...totally worthless player. interchangeable with 100 other people they can find in the draft or in free agency. i know you love him because 1) hes on the sixers 2) youre a homer 3) he was once associated with the rockets but nobody gives a farg about robert covington.

everything i said is on the money. i never said the lakers would be good, but instead of a top 5 possibility, you back down to top 10. the thunder pick isnt going to be anything, whether its 17 or 25. who cares.

jah is slow as farg. he cant jump. he can score, sure. but he and nn cant even play together so who the farg cares. pick 1.

embiid is a cartoon

since they arent getting simmons, youre down to 2 hopes: 1. saric is a transformative player 2. the kings win the lotto in 17 and a superstar is there

[PhillyPhreak54]

You're a mini Eskin with this anti Sixers rhetoric

[ice grillin you]

WROTES IS BACK!!

pressy jr toast

you are clueless

good call on thinking the thunder would be a good team tho

[MDS]
