The NBA’s trade deadline is quickly approaching, and Sixers’ general manager Sam Hinkie has already been active as he continues his never-ending quest to acquire future assets.
The Sixers are reportedly close to a deal with the Denver Nuggets that will send center JaVale McGee and a 2016 first-round pick to the Sixers.
McGee, a talented athlete with a 10-cent head, has struggled to so much as stay healthy and get on the floor for the Nuggets since he arrived there several years ago. McGee is owed $12 million next season, so the Nuggets wanted to be rid of his salary. Hinkie, who has created plenty of cap room for the Sixers, had put the team into a position where they can easily absorb a contract like McGee’s for a season, and in exchange for taking the troubled big man off of Denver’s hands, the Nuggets rewarded Hinkie with a 2016 first-round pick that had previously belonged to the Oklahoma City Thunder.
As for McGee, don’t count on seeing him in a Sixer jersey anytime soon. He’s talented, but if I had to compare him to anyone, it’d be former Sixer Sammy Dalembert. McGee is a guy who will tease you with raw ability and has the potential to be great, but has a very low basketball I.Q. and will bring a team much more frustration than satisfaction.
I doubt that McGee ever sees the floor for the Sixers. I think the team will most likely buy him out or waive him over the next couple weeks. The team has a crowded front court already, and even though McGee is a guy with significant untapped potential, there just isn’t much of a future for him here.
It’s a tremendous start to the deadline for the Sixers, and Hinkie may not be done dealing yet.

MCW GONE
MCW For Isaih Thomas and more future #1 picks
HUGE TRADE HUGE TRADE
Brandon Knight to Phoenix. MCW and Tyler Ennis to Milwaukee. Isaiah Thomas and picks to Philadelphia
huge trades generally involve superstars but thanks for confirming my sources (rotoworld) report – lol
OMG….
JH RIGHT AGAIN, I SAID THIS WOULD HAPPEN YEARS AGO. MCW IS AND WAS EXPENDABLE
Dam izell there goes your blockbuster
DAMN THATS HUGE. I didnt think they would trade MCW and I would have taken Branden Knight over Isiah Thomas.
Isiah Thomas gets buckets though….WOW.
GMCliff….you were right on this. Touche.
KJ McDaniel TRADED FOR A 2ND
Isiah Thomas just became a 20-22pt scorer on this team.
Damn I dont give a shit what any of you say…this team is exciting and I am EXCITED ABOUT THIS TEAM!!!!!!
traded K.J. McDaniels to Houston for Isaiah Canaan and a second rounder
Mudiay!!!
Chad Ford
Sixers are getting the Lakers pick owed to the Suns (protected 1-5 this year) as part of MCW deal with Bucks/Suns
The pick the Sixers get is the Lakers pick from the Suns protected 1-5. Trying to dig up what it becomes next year if Lakers pick there.
This is a blockbuster deal…and some of yall wanted to trade MCW for peanuts…..
What Hinkie has done in 2 years from absolutely nothing is damn right MAGICAL.
lets go lakers get the #6 pick this year!!!!!!!!!!!!
Celtics send Marcus Thornton and Cleveland first for next year for Isaiah Thomas, sources told ESPN.
so did philly get thomas then flip him to boston or did our deal for thomas just fall apart?
It looks like Brandon Knight is who we got….I am confused right now…but if its Knight and the 1st….I will cream my pants.
Yes they flipped isaiah thomas
Theyre getting the Lakers pick owed to the Suns (protected 1-5 this year) as part of MCW deal with Bucks/Suns
no they didnt flip him to boston. suns sent him right there
Suns traded Thomas directly to Boston.
im fealing embiid right now
Joel-Hans Embiid @JoelEmbiid · 4m 4 minutes ago
Someone tell me what’s going on please help
76ers Trade Embiid and Robert Covington to the Hawks for Robert Korver
and their 1st Round PIck in 2019
When I first heard the report I was bummed….Knight is the better player…but if they got Knight and the pick for MCW….
Jason Kidd thank you thank you thank you.
So as it stands WE SHOULDNT WIN ANY MORE THAN 2 GAMES MAX HERE ON OUT
OUR LINE UP
pg – someone i never heard of
Sg- covington
sf – scrub bum
pf – guy that cant score
center – d league guy
THIS IS NICE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The consensus is Knight and the Lakers pick(top 5 protected) for MCW.
WOWZERS….
I am a MCW fan…but I like Knight alot….
The Sixers now have the pieces to steal a superstar from someone soon.
knight went to the suns
So all we got was picks
thats my understanding and some scrub pg
I dont know I am confused….conflicting reports everywhere.
No espn says we got knight and that pick
Dont know there is alot of rumors still out there.
From USA Today.
As part of the deal, the Sixers acquired a protected 2015 first-round pick from the Suns via the Los Angeles Lakers. The pick is protected 1-5 in 2015, 1-3 in 2016 and 2017 and unprotected in 2018.
todays summary
MCW for Lakers top 5 protected this year, top 3 protected next year and year after or unprotected 2018
KJ McDaniels for some Doo Doo PG that will help us ensure we dont win any more games this year and a 2nd round pick
We sent rights to sum turkish guy I never heard of away for McGhee and a top 18 protected 1st round pick from OKC (top 15 protected next year)
How many first round picks?
I heard the got Brandon Knight, not Isiah Thomas.
Nevermind. The article was changed.
Thats crap
I do not like this trade at all. Too much risk. Potentially the Sixers could have just traded MCW for nothing at all.
nah i like it. mcw aint shit, not very good at anything really. so we lakers pick this year if they fall out of top 5 (almost impossible). then next year lakers will sign rondo and love and we will get their #23 pick next year for MCW
I’m sorry. I thought it was the reverse. I thought if it is in the top 5 the Lakers then get to keep it.
nah top 5 protected this year, top3 2016 and 2017 and unprotected in 2018.
they wont drop out of 5 this year. we gotta hope they dont sign love this offseason then we would probably get like #4-#6 pick next year
I think it is the reverse. I recall last year we had two first round draft picks. We used our pick to get Embiid. The other pick we had was acquired in a trade from New Orleans and it was top 5 protected. Because the pick fell out of the top 5 the Sixers were then able to keep it and select Elfrid Payton who was then traded for Saric.
The protection is for the Lakers, not the Sixers MH. This is why I am upset with the trade. The Lakers have the 4th worst record in the NBA with no Kobe. They may not improve enough to increase their chances of getting a lower draft pick.
Tua the pick is only protected to be top 3 next year…Lakers will be atrocious next year as well.
I think Hinkie has to be very careful about the amount of changes he makes. If he makes too many, the young players may not want to play here and veterans may be scared off. There needs to be some stability at some point. KJ McDaniels and MCW. The Sixers are looking for Russel/Mudiay and Okafor.
we got a shit load of 1st rounders and embiid as it stands. gotta basically hit a home run with our 1st 1st rounder this year then go get a star. its at least a 5-7 year project unless we make a trade for a star
It’s a lock they are target Mudiay/Russell.
Okafor would be real nice next to embiid
Izell what is this dude doing? Was this because they were too competitive?
They sold ridiculously high on MCW. I think it shows how much they feel about this draft and MCW.
I’m an MCW fan…but I’m not shedding a tear either.
I like the trade, caveat Okafor Johnson Russell or Mudiay come in this draft.
Big also shows they are high on Wroten.
My first thought was man they really like Wroten, but Mudisy is the key to me, get him and the maneuvering was worth it.
Mudiay
I take it you’re not a Russell fan big?
I agree with you though, higher upside and if they end up with Mudiay and the pick absolute steal.
No Izell I love the way Russell plays the game either one of those guys will be an upgrade from MCW. Offensively its not even close. I’ll start a franchise with Embiid and either Mudiay or Russell if Saric is a player then this can be something spectacular.
Then you have Covington and Grant and I haven’t even talked about Noel and Wroten. A top 3 pick and this team competes next year for a playoff spot without Saric.
BigL Embiid is the key to it all, if he is the dream shaking highlight reel we all saw everything falls into place with relative ease. If he isn’t it’s just an accumulation of parts right now.
Saric is interesting if he has an ability to play some 3 or if he’s just a stretch 4. Everything I see says he could be a monster from the elbow down.
BigL you know I think Jerami Grant has the chance to be an all NBA type defender, the kid is the sickest athlete on the team IMO outside of Noel.
Since the sixes like draft picks and not actual players they are going to loan a few firsts and a couple of seconds to help the eagles land Matiotta
76ers Announce a Lifetime Contract for GM Sam Hinkle and Coach Brown
Details at 11pm..
What kills me is the Celtics are doing the same thing and haven’t landed a superstar either but are being praised.
This was a blockbuster move.
Celtics setting themselves up nicely for 10 years in nba purgatory.
What the Sixers did do is guarantee themselves a top 3 pick again. Hopefully this year we won’t end up at number 3 again.
If they don’t get Okafor or Russell, they will go after Mudiay. The other pick will be used on Mario.
Sixers could have as many as four first-round picks and five second-rounders in June’s draft.
Philly is going crazy right now, everyone is talking about this league wide im hearing
Hinkie strikes again
I told you guys last year that MCW was expendable and that he could be traded. I said trade him while he has his highest value coming off of winning rookie of the year
Now I believe their target guy in the draft will be PG Emmanuel Mudiay 6’5 205 beast. Hes an all around player. Pass first type guy, but can score the ball and has amazing court vision. He will be an Allstar, mark my words
Has to work on his shot, but I like his projection in that regard over 24year old MCW…
Mudiay is only 18
I also like Okafor
If the Sixers can some how get them both id be ecstatic, very unrealistic but again its Hinkie, anything is truly possible as we saw today
McDaniels wont be missed. We have other long athletic freaks on the team
We just got another 2nd for a 2nd rounder who may have not resigned this off season
What a great day…
Options are wide open
They could package all the picks n move up to 1st
They could trade for Superstar that we’d never think we could get, Anthony Davis? Russell Westbrook? Lamarcus Aldridge? Kevin Durant?!?!?
How would they be able to trade for Anthony Davis, Westbrook, Aldridge or Durant? And why would those players want to come here?
Because of the assets we’ve acquired now and for the future. Theyre not acquiring these picks just to pick 18 year olds every year
I see Hinkie looking to make bigger trades in the near future for big time players
If Hinkie can manage to have a good group of players around a superstar or two, we will be just fine
Think San Antonio Spurs, Atlanta Hawks, even the Golden State Warriors to a degree
Smart, athletic, long, shooters everywhere you turn, with a good post presence…
Lookout for the Sixers, theyre about to shake up the league, more than they did today
Lmfao dude just mushed mundiay like he did exum
He mushed the entire 2014 draft, remember? Hinkie gonna own the draft night…. Gonna get everyone….. Total joke!
This organization, if I can even call them that, are the biggest frauds, snake oil salesmen, I’ve ever seen! GTFOH! Anybody that still supports these POS’s, especially Hinkie Dinkie, needs to be hidden from society! What a joke! Ratliff 2.0, is next to go at draft time! Bank on it.
LOL!!!
By that are you referring to Nerlens Noel, DCar???….What’s up dude!!!???
Yep, Ratliff 2.0! SUP? Been battling walking Pneumonia for the last 4-6 weeks. I finally feel healthy, & come on here to read the 2 buttplugs above praising this trash truck juice smelling fish head of an organization! SMMFH!
Reading those 2 clowns, is both hysterical & nauseating!
Hey lil Bron-Bron, Hinkie going to steal the draft again this year????? NOT!!!!!!
4 picks, lookout!
Lakers will win just enough for us to get their 6th or 7th overall pick since its top 5 protected
Remember too, we could package all the picks and move up to 1st overall slot and draft okafor (if our pick isnt 1st), or trade all the picks away for a Superstar
Russell Westbrook, Kevin Durant, Anthony Davis etc
Nerlins Noel too can be a key part in trades being facilitated in a smooth manner
The options are too numerous to mention..
Hornets wouldn’t trade Anthony Davis for all our 1st round draft picks for the next 10 years plus our whole team.
Nor would okc for either of those guys.
SMH! Thought all your time off of here, would wise you up! Apparently not! You are still dropping your panties, & overreacting, like a teenie bopper girl, at a boyband concert! BWAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!! They are a joke, Hinkie is a snake oil saleman, & the owners have NO PLANS to better this team! ABSOLUTE CRUEL JOKE!
BTW, you have a better chance of being hit by lightning 3 times in one day, & mauled by a polar bear & grizzly bear in that same day, before Westbrook, Durant & Davis come here! AIN’T HAPPENING!
I don’t believe polar bears and grizzly bears share habitat and the chances of lightning in polar bear country are non existent
Exactly! That’s why it’s impossible.
At what point do NBA players suit up for them?
I took a group of handicap kids to see the 87ers a week ago, it was fun and free.
Mudiay-Russell>MCW… It’s really that simple.
Can’t wait for some more drafted players, stashed away for 2-3 years, & some more 2nd rounders, on draft night. GOOD TIMES! When do you start to put players on the court to make you a better team now? 6,7,8,9 years? What is the plan exactly, fail your tanking miserably, every year? Snake oil salesmen & frauds! Blackhole organization! Won’t see another good team for another 30 years! I was all for tanking, but when you tank, then draft injured players & stash guys over seas for 3-4 years, you need to be ran out of town with pitch forks & torches!
Better pray that Embid is the next Hakeem Olajuwon & Saric is the next great Foreign player, because this is miserable! BTW, Noel is an injury prone, stringed bean stiff! Ratliff/ Dalembert 2.0! Where are all of his idol worshippers at now, with his defense, telling me I don’t know my B-Ball? ASSCLOWNS!
Saric has won player of the year award for Croatia 2 years straight, I’d say hes good, really good
The Sixers have a chance to really shake up this league in a short period of time
Theyre dangerous because they not only have picks galore, but they also have money and cap flexibility
You say Hinkie has no plan or direction
I say hes a genius who has taken us out of the cap hell we were in with bad contract after bad contract and mediocrity
He has given us a CHANCE for sustained success
Not like the A.I years which was pretty short-lived and destroyed our cap and overall team in general with bums surrounding A.I, no talent whatsoever, just “blue-collar guys” or “defensive stoppers”.. We need more than that
Like I said, think San Antonio Spurs
That’s the model they’re trying to follow
We’re on our way sooner rather than later…
Everybody has their own opinion of noel i think he will a joakim noah type you think dalembert we will see what he becomes but calling people fuckng names is dumb just cuz they think more of noel then you do
Z, has nothing to do with opinion! My response is to the 2 assclowns above, who slobbered all over his sack, & ripped everyone else, who didn’t agree with them! Try to reprimand the right posters, & mind your business!
And my response is to the bitch ass loudmouth who only come to talk after the fact. Talk basketball… That’s right you can’t… You just talk bullshit.
Stick to baseball nigga
It’s pretty funny you tlak shit about everyone, & are the biggest clueless fuck on here, NIGGA! I told you everything that what was going to happen, clown ass fuck! Your boys Hinkie & Noel are worthless bags of wet shit, just like your worthless clown ass! Don’t waste my time son, I’ve forgot more about Basketball, than you can ever hope to attain! I don’t discuss shit with clownasses like you, because all you are good at, is belittling guys, who you disagree with, even though they are right! Go bury your head in Hinkie & Chips asses!
You’ve yet to say anything about basketball because you don’t know shit about basketball…point blank period.
No nigga, I’m good at clowning lying ass fuckbois like yourself who get exposed on their cut and paste knowledge they try and pass off as their own.
Only dude I clown on here is your old lying ass brethren. Maybe he should take you on a vacation with the 150k he won on draft kings since you always want to meet dudes from a forum, I told you…bitch nigga I know bout ya,
Like I said, I don’t talk with worthless bags of shit like you! I don’t give a rats ass about anybody on here, & for sure don’t have any brethren. For you to continue to endorse this atrocity, & fraudulant crap, shows how much you know about Basketball! Noel is great ain’t he? Traded their only 2 good young players, for more future unknown, protected picks! You are a clown ass, that don’t know shit, talking about if’s & dream scenarios, that ain’t ever going to happen, like the other retard lil Bron-Bron! Don’t waste my time bitch, you don’t know shit about nothing!
Lump yourself in with Paulman and Cliff…it’s fitting 3 old fucks with god complexes thinking they are king shit of a blog. Only difference you don’t talk in 3rd person., but you’re still a bitch ass. I told you about yourself the first time I ever posted lmao no one gives a shit about you.
Do you honestly think I give a rats ass what a useless bag of shit like you have to say? GOD COMPLEX???? BWAHHAHAHAHA!!! Bruh, what kind of drugs do you do man! I told you before bruh, anythime anywhere you think you get beat this so-called bitch ass, feel froggy & jump little boy! BTW, I’m 45, & I’m not old, you little punk weasel!
You been coming on here, all day, everyday, for months, talking useless smack, & belittling cats, & you have the nad sack to talk shit about me? I ain’t been on here for almost 1.5 months! Please bruh, don’t embarrass yourself any further. You ain’t shit, don’t have shit for me!
You are simple…
1. You’re still responding…so obviously you do…
2. You’re challenging offline a forum…because you know nothing will happen…sign of being a pure bitch ass nigga to the fullest
3. I already got you talking wreck less…meaning internet words bother your mall security parking lot ass..
BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Btw DCar were on here less than a month ago…lying ass
DCar
January 22, 2015 – 1:54 am
bugs, that’s why I think many changes are coming to Denver. Peyton might retire. Their entire coaching staff is gone. We have their Secondary coach (That’s why I think Raheem Moore will be signed). Demaryius will get a good contract, but I’d rather pay him, than resigning Maclin at similar $$$$. He’s bigger, faster, & proven longer to be a true #1-#2 WR, Maclin is a 1/2 season wonder, in a contracty year. Prior to this year, he was tissue paper, who was a bust. We’ll see??
You have fun coming on here, calling everyone frauds, liars, & know nothings, like you know everything about all sports! You ain’t made one good point, or anything of substance, toward any topic on here, since you’ve posted! All you are good at, is trying to clown paul, gmcliff, 7 countless others, only to make a jerkoff out of yourself! Get fucking lost, Mr. Washington- Camden! You are a know-nothing, worhtless bag of diarrhea!
Z, DCar knows shit about basketball.
Dont waste your time Izzell
I’ve had to expose dcar, paul etc for years
Flip floppers, name callers, fraudulent fan behavior lol, you name it!
Dcar has called me every name in the book then wants to fight with his old dumb ass! “Anytime anywhere ”
“45s not old” …. It isn’t?
He’s in LaLa land
Maybe that’s why he name calls, he has the mind of a 15 year old still wanting to be a toys-r-us kid
Just move on from the foolishness and keep it sports
This is our second year of this rebuild and the question is, who’s our number one option that were developing who will be our number one guy in two years? Who’s our number two guy? Our number three guy? Hinkie is doing nothing but kicking the can down the road, this is not how it’s done, you build a core, let them grow together, build your bench n them bring in a major FA, two years and we still don’t have the first phase of the rebuild started.
More Sixers News
I’m hearing that JaVale McGee and Sixers have no plans to discuss a contract buyout.
He will remain with team, for now
Makes more sense to keep. He becomes a 12.5 million dollar expiring trade chip going into the biggest freer agent summer in since the Big 3.
I hope its true too, the guy is a freak of nature, reminds me of Jordan from the Clippers, he has that kind of athleticism.
Andrew, McGhee probably never sees the floor as a Sixer. He basically was brought to bring the team closer to the cap floor get a first round pick and have a possible 12.5 million trade kicker.
