As opposed to being a below room temperature I.Q. thing for guys like you.

Plenty of actual retards are following the league right along with you. Don't talk shit on them.

You being chief among the retards.

lol

So they not only fucked up the pick...they gave up assets to do it.

And the Celtics ended up with Tatum...

A QAnon conspiracy nut is calling actual basketball fans 'retards'.

I wonder how this conversation would go if you actually knew something about basketball.

Colangelo, the league's hackman did. Yes.

Thank you for proving the original premise. The league had to take decisive action to stop the Sixers. They feared The Process would be a success so they got involved to make sure it wasn't.

Let's keep this about basketball. No one really wants to bring your whore mother into the conversation.

How do you sleep at night with all the people staring in your windows, hacking your phone and internet, etc etc?

Bro, everyone knows reflectine can shield you from outside attacks.

All you need to do is view Watchmen to know that is true!!!!

GEEZUS, a bridge too far, Dude.

Competitive roster rules out Houston then.

LOL.

Competitive roster of exotic dancers.

Ah naw, this is exactly what I expect from him.

 

[msgkings322]

It was the league's hackman. That was the original point. Colangelo fucked up those drafts on purpose while he talked shit on embiid from "his wife's twitter." Just like the league wanted him to do.

We're through the looking glass here, people

The not clever trolls are the worst trolls. At least give us a laugh.

But, y'know, Philly and all.

I completely understand that laker fans, warrior fans, and cavs fans won't let themselves believe reality because it's not as comfortable or as fun.

You should keep enjoying what you can enjoy, no matter the structure.

Idea you think the following could occur is laughable.......

Silver telling the lottery teams they are making sure a certain team gets the #1 pick and a guy like Cuban would simply say, "sure...whatever is best for the league."

They also get those reporters on board, too, who are in the room.

Ya gotta love this forum.

Oh shit, he's QAnon? That explains things.

 

[dtgold88]

Not just sixers fans. Anyone that doesn't fellate the league can call a spade a spade because they aren't biased. It's an emotional thing for guys like you.

oh, the irony

 

[Mecca of the “B” Team]

Hindsight clarifies that Colangelo wanted them to have psychological problems. What happened in his office with them? Or with the therapists he picked for them? We'll never know. All we know now is that the league wanted him to fuck shit up.

I don think anyone could have guessed those two guys would meltdown that way.

From a talent perspective, they were top 2, at the very least.

Fultz issue was both physical and mental.

Ben just doesn’t love basketball.

But, boy does he love to be rich.

Another lesser discussed gaffe was dealing Mikal on draft night.

That was Philly simply outsmarting themselves.

Things would not have played out the same way, and you can’t regret tanking for Embiid.

But, just imagine if you still had Jrue Holiday.

The funniest casting EVER.

Thank GAWD cancel culture didn’t exist then…lol

Like @fightinfunbags said, what matters is not just getting the #1 pick, but getting it on a year when there is a clear-cut, can't miss prospect like Tim Duncan and David Robinson. That's what makes the Spurs so lucky. Yes, they haven't had the top pick in 26 years, but when they get it, they seem to hit gold.

The year the Sixers drafted Simmons, 2016, who else could they have gotten? Well, Brandon Ingram and Jaylen Brown were the two next picks. Both would have been better in hindsight. But Philly took the guy considered the consensus #1 pick, despite some red flags they should have heeded about his love of the game and work ethic.

The year they drafted Fultz, they could have taken Jayson Tatum or Lonzo Ball, the next two selections. Again, Fultz was viewed widely as the top guy but he basically wilted under the pressure and nearly had a mental breakdown.

No disagreement SA has had some incredible luck. Fixed this year? No chance
