Well, the dust has settled some since Sam Hinkie pulled more moves out of his data base that sent ripples through the NBA community. I will give Hinkie and the Sixers this much, he has made them the most popular/worst teams EVER talked about. People can’t resist chiming in. Either blasting Hinkie or as some would say, “Drinking the Kool Aide“
I will tell you this, I’m a Hinkie supporter. There’s not much that I haven’t agreed with. Though I would be lying to you if I didn’t say that even these last few moves didn’t leave me scratching my head.
Yes, I get that Michael Carter-Williams can’t shoot and K.J McDaniels contact situation likely was main ingredients in Hinkie moving them (also the search for a Super-Star). BUT..there can be arguments made for the both of them staying here. The person who I really want to talk about is Brett Brown. Why, you might ask? The dude deserves a contract extension NOW.
When the Sixers went coach shopping in the summer of 2013, Hinkie and his crew were looking for a teacher, developer, and person who would have the patience to go along with their master plan. The guy they found was Brett Brown. Brown had many of his peers telling him not to take the job. That he wouldn’t even be there when the Sixers finally turned the corner. Brown took the job knowing that his roster would be a revolving door for the next couple of years (That’s why he held out for the 4th year on his deal), until Hinkie found the pieces that he wanted. One of Brown’s first quotes as the Sixers head coach before a loss in October of 2013 (Noel was hurt):
“The first thing is that Michael Carter Williams, James Anderson, Evan Turner, Thaddeus Young, and Spencer Hawes are the clear starters. The second thing is that power forward/center Lavoy Allen is an experienced NBA player who is finding his way back into shape.
“And after that, who knows? You have six NBA players and then you have a bunch of guys who are fighting for spots and want to be seen and need opportunity.” via Philadelphia Inquirer
Brown knew from the start what he was getting into. He has never ran away from it either. A quote from ESPN.com recently:
“The team I’m coaching now isn’t the team I’ll be coaching a few years from now,” Brown admits. “Some people will make it. Some people won’t.”
Man, I lost count on how many times Brett has stood in-front of the media, loss after loss, never wavering from his goal of teaching development and winning plays. Having Hinkie’s back, when media would fire questions about Hinkie’s plan to him or “tanking” questions.
I remember seeing Brown personally, a half-hour before games last season, working with Nerlens Noel. The strides that Noel has made this year have been very nice to see (shooting 73% from the charity strip in Feb, after starting at 42% in Dec). Brown has put his whole heart into this process. He has made Jerami Grant into a NBA player, after looking he wasn’t after the first weeks into the NBA.
He has help turn Hollis Thompson, Robert Covington and Jakarr Sampson (undrafted free-agents) into NBA players. When MCW and KJ were still here, Brown was slowly guiding the Sixers into one of the better defensive teams in the league. Damn, he even made Brandon Davies look serviceable.
The person I felt for the most after last weeks trade deadline frenzy, was Brown. Knowing that the reset button was pushed somewhat with those moves. Brown went as far as saying that he felt “naked” after the moves. Brown:
“We have to concentrate on what we stand for, which is defense,” Brown said Saturday afternoon. “And we have to try and grow some level of comfort with our offense. I feel very naked on both sides of the ball right now. I don’t feel as organized as we were two weeks ago, which is fair enough.” Via CSNPHILLY
Brown went on to say:
“But I think it is an example of a club trying to make extremely difficult decisions, and having the guts to make those decisions in order to get somewhere special.”
That last quote is why Brett Brown is unique. It takes a special individual to go through this process he is going through. That’s why I’m telling Hinkie to give him an exntension NOW… “IN BRETT BROWN I TRUST”
I do like the job that Sam Hinkie and Brett Brown are doing. Although we traded arguably our two most well-liked players, the fountain of youth continues to flow. With OKC looking to climb up the Western Conference standings, it looks like the Sixers will have a minimum of 3 first round picks next year.
The MCW only makes sense if we draft Okafor, Mudiay, or D Russell in next year’s draft. Obviously Okafor, because of the talent he possesses. But if the Sixers aren’t drafting #1, I guarantee they are looking at either Mudiay or Russell. Both guys grade out as much better prospects than MCW, and can be franchise players. MCW was just another Jrue Holiday, solid overall player, but never put the team over the edge. Watch out for the Sixers to heavily target the top guards in the draft. And if they go before we get to draft, look for us to continue wheeling and dealing.
Also, I would welcome Demarcus Cousins to Philly if that were to somehow happen. I know the guy is a thug but his game is still improving and he’s starting to garner respect among the other players as one of the more tough big men in the game.
Brett brown is my favorite coach in philly he truly cares about these players
BEST PHILLY COACH – KELLY – UHHH HE WINS
WORST – RYAN SANDBERGH, GUY LOSES AND ALWAYS SEEMS LIKE HE IS OUTTER SPACE I SENSE HE MAY BE SLOW IN SOME CAPACITY AS WELL
He has down syndrome perhaps lol
I just read the most hilarious comment on espn the guys says “lebron is back in cleveland, tayshaun prince back in detroit, kg back in minny, and derrick rose back in the hospital….everybody is back home lol
HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
I have been watching some emblid warmup videos and also reading some reports on his warmups and the guy is amazing offensively…..he was stroking the 3 like it was nothing and swishing them…..he can finish with either hand from both sides of the rim and his jumper is silky smooth…..he has Hakeem written all over him….the guy will be great…..Excited how easy he made it look….I hope it transfers to real time
Your last sentence is the key… The rest of it is sweat suit, go up against an assistant coach, empty gym stuff… Suit up and play against another stud
Then let’s talk
Well the good thing its not too many stud big man
And the Lakers have won 3 in a row….4 if Westbrook is out tomorrow.
Sixers really screwed up winning Friday night. We could be in last right now damn it
It’s all good mhenski we don’t need to the 1st overall pick..just get in the top 3…..the big man okafor and towns will go first
We pretty much can’t draft towns or okafor.
We can to draft Towns and Okafor…I’m intrigued by Towns because I’m a big fan of having a stretch 4.
problem is embiid is expected to play pf. all indications is he is a scorer and a very good one and center would be a bad fit for him if you want to get the most out of embiid offensively
Embiid is playing Center with the Sixers and if Noel is still here its pretty much all he will play. The only times they will cross switch is against big tandems that dont stretch the floor.
Embiid can play face up PF role offensively and C role defensively.
If the Sixers were to draft Okafor Embiid and Okafor can play in tandem similar to Randolph/Gasol in Memphis where Embiid would be a face up 4/5 like Gasol and Okafor played the Zach Randolph block monster role…if they draft Towns Embiid is the Center without question.
Doesnt change Embiid from being the team Center.
except the part where brett brown and embiid both say that embiid will be a PF… all the good scoring bigs are PF’s, centers work so much harder than pf on rebounds and defense that it comes at the expense of their offense. who are the good scoring centers? vuc (who cant / doesnt play d) and d boogie who averages like 9 turnovers a game… look at the brow dudes a legit center but playS PF because teams know you cant get it all… embiid has to play pf while noel plays center protects the rim and boards
Sorry Mhenski but I disagree. You are confusing scoring with positioning etc….
Gasol is a skilled face up 5 and can pretty much do everything from the top of the key out of that position…
His brother does the same exact thing.
Anthony Davis is a 5 who plays 5 and their best lineup is to have him at the 5 with a stretch 4 in Anderson…except hes always hurt.
Duncan another face up 4/5 who can interchange depending on matchup.
yep
Hey did you see mudiay henski last night he won a playoff game for his team last night in china…..24 8rebs 4 ast 3 steals
Good catch man wow. Just read the article
Wowwowwww
Phillies got waxed by a division 2 team today – university of Tampa which Is like losing to drexel or some shit.
Pathetic
Aaron Altherr – OF – Phillies
In Sunday’s lone spring game, Aaron Altherr went 2-for-4 with an RBI double and a steal as the Phillies lost to the University of Tampa 6-2.
The Phillies were up 2-0 following fine performances from Paul Clemens and Rule 5 pick Andrew Oliver, but Phillipe Aumont gave up a run in the sixth and Nefi Ogando and Hector Neris combined to allow five in the seventh, leading to a somewhat embarrassing loss. The good news was that Ruben Amaro’s nephew, Andrew, had a single and a bases-loaded walk for the Spartans. The Phillies didn’t use any probable regulars in the contest.
Mar 1 – 5:08 PM
Hey izell do you think the sixers will give jordan mcrae a call up to play this year when and if the sixers buyout javale mcgee
I’ve read he’s possibly going to the DLeague team… Then probably call up at the end of the season.
I wouldnt be suprised if the Sixers go double guard if they can land a 2nd top 10 pick either by the Lakers pick or trading back in. If that is the case
A Mudiay/Harris with a stash of Hezonja would be a great gamble. Hezonja has Manu/Peja/Drazen like skills. He’s 6’6 and can create.
Karl Towns could shake up the draft though…I am not sold on Jalil Okaforand I am moving away from the Sixers selecting him(and I am huge Duke fan) Towns is showing to be a better prospect to me IMO.
okafor is a beast and will be a great pf in the nba. unfortunately his D is lacking and i just dont see him fitting with embiid
Okafor Embiid fit like Drummond/Monroe or Randolph/Gasol….Okafor would have to be better on the boards and defensively…however they can absolutely play together.
Big Mhenski, all due respect my brother, No he isn’t, and neither are ANY players from Kentucky.
the only player the Sixers should focus on in the 2015 draft is Emmanuel Mundiay – been saying it for 2 years now –
2016 – Jaylen Brown 6-7 SG/SF, EC Matthews 6-5 PG Rhode Island, and Sviatoslav Mykhailiuk 6-8 SG Kansas
2017 – Thon Maker 7-1 C
Thon will get drafted next year… news came out recently that he will be graduating this year… who knows if he goes college or euro pro but he will be picked in the 2016 draft
Thta’s great!1……The Sixers could have as many as 3 first round picks next year. So Maker would be an option. I just saw on NBADRAFT.NET that he was mocked to be drafted in the later part of the first Round, so he would also be in play for the Sixers.
He brings the same Defensive presence as Noel, but has a much greater upside Offensively, making it possible to cut ties with Noel, using him as a chip in a trade to bring in someone like a DeMarcus Cousins, or some other established superstar, so we can end the losing, and start contending finally.
But Jaylen Brown, and EC Matthews are must haves.
Jaylen Brown is one of the next breed of NBA Superstars, and EC Matthews reminds me a lot of Michael Ray Richardson with a Jump shot.
Lmao…You rant Noel sucks…then you say use him as a trade chip for a Superstar…
noel is starting to come together defensively … if he would just never shoot offensively id actually be happy. some of the shots he takes or tries is embarrassing, awkward, irresponsible, goofy and rushed. think he had 8 straight games with an airball or something. good passer though
When he shoots in rhythm that jump shot mechanics actually look pretty damn good…its when he gets sped up that it looks terrible or he rushes shots.
Its amazing how the floor has opened up with 3pt shooters Canaan and JRich and he has been thriving on the floor.
I really thought MCW could create more but his offensive decision making now look very bad with him gone.
agreed izzell… i think his head gets in his way offensively. he is so athletic and he knows it but i dont think his brain can comprehend how to use his athleticism in the nba… hopefully it comes but im more hopeful with him now than i was a month or 2 ago
Embiid is the key….the rest of the Sixers pieces fall into place depending on if he can play or not.
Noel staying or going…Saric…etc….Embiid is what is shaking them out at Novacare.
Thon Maker wants NO PART AT ALL of being a C. Come on follow up on the kid before hyping.
THon is not a center at all. huge sf maybe if not pf
Maker lets out an enormous sigh, and says that, as of that moment, he is playing the 5 but wants to be a forward. A point forward, he says at first, but he cuts himself off. “Small forward, or the 4.”
IMO…if he goes overseas to play ball…he will get manhandled and bomb out of the lottery.
That’s fair at this point because, we haven’t seen him against College, or Pro competition, and he hasn’t developed yet. But what if you’re wrong??.. then what??
Would that speak to your basketball IQ, and knowledge???
You like Towne, Cauley-Stein, and Russell huh??….lol..
Lmao now I like Cauley Stein…
Find where I said that….I’ll wait….
LMAO YOU KNOW NOTHING ABOUT BASKETBALL….
IJ, he wouldn’t have to be, because in this scenario we would have both Embiid, and Cousins.
By 2016, and just coming into the league he would be coming of the bench, whether that be a SF, PF, or Center we will see, but talented none the less.
If you like Towns, or Cauley-Stien, who are completely overrated playing for Kentucky, I see no reason you’re clowning me about Thon Maker, who is just as or more talented even at this point.
Trading Noel as a young, athletic, shot blocker that’s his strength, and all he is worth, and some sucker will value that.
All he is worth…lol go back to the football posts.
Yes, that is all he is worth – have never doubted his shot blocking ability – That is his only strength.
Thats all hes worth but that will get you DeMarcus Cousins….
YOU ARE AN IDIOT….LMAO
I clown you easily when its basketball related…You already know that.
HYPEBEAST I KNOW ABOUT YOU…LMAO
You entertain yourself, because like I told you before you are the only one talking…That’s what I know – You flatter yourself.
Cousins is such a headache in Sacramento. they will take Noel on perceived potential alone – not because it’s a fair balance of talent, because Noel is nothing close to as talented….he would be a piece of the trade not necessarily the prime chip….
It would be really good for you to shut up, and listen sometime, because you aren’t as bright as you claim to be……
Thon Maker is all hype….I don’t see this Garnett clone or skillset that many project him off of Youtube videos.
Now GMCliff is an Embiid fan…and wants to build around Embiid and trade Noel for Cousins…
LMAO…..
Same dude that said Exum was legit and trade MCW.
Only person that says dumber things on here about basketball is Paulman.
I’m not an Embiid Fan, I’m a Sixers fan. I like him a heck of a lot better than Noel.
I’m looking to build around Mudiay, and Jaylen Brown
Jon Hart, liked Dante Exum – and said he was legit. I wasn’t opposed to drafting him to replace MCW – who I said wasn’t all that. I NEVER said he(Exum) was legit – you don’t have to put words in my mouth or manipulate my statements to make yourself seem smarter. I know what I’m talking about…
Gmc you compared noel to theo ratliff type but you doubted what he could be….no one ever thought noel was a superstar only gave comparisons to likes of joahkim noah and tyson chandeler…..what is wrong with that? He has showed more than enough strides in his rookie year that he can become that….yet you downplay him so you can be right….Joel is the superstar but noel can be what we thought he would….which is valuable in the long run…but if the kings want noel and our 1st rd pick goodbye and hello cousins
I never compared Noel to Theo Ratliff…….That’s a lie
He isn’t Johkim Noah, or Tyson Chandler either, that’s what some of you said, and you’re rationalizing – that’s all, just rationalizing – especially when I see 5 points 6 rebounds, or 3 points 5 rebounds more consistently than 10 points 15 rebounds. Those are numbers I should see coming from off the bench, from a guy with one skill set.
any progress that he has made, hasn’t been enough to change my stance on him. He is a shot blocker – That’s it.
and it still remains to be seen if Embiid is our superstar Z, but he would benefit from having an established veteran superstar in his backyard to assist him in moving in that direction.
Were here on if the Sixers trade him, and get DeMarcus Cousins – Good riddance to Noel as far as I’m concerned – I won’t miss him, especially if the Sixers grow into a Championship team, because they won’t with him in the starting lineup.
I have ALWAYS said if he is going to be on this team, he should be coming off the bench.
I forgot the guys name you did compare him to but he was worse then theo ratliff either way he will be just as good as noah or chandeler….look at the rookie stats
Caldwell Jones….
BTW dickhead the person who started the DeMarcus Using trade talk on here was ME. LMFAO GET OFF MY DICK.
your flattering yourself again….I’ve only been speaking about that for 4 years….you weren’t even posting on here at that time. So how do you come to that conclusion???
watch your mouth calling me out of my name…..you can troll, but let respect be your foundation.
We disagree about Noel, nothing you say is going to change that.
Or what you are going to online threaten me like you did EOS.
LMAO I already got your IP address. I wish you would.
I have no respect for you…so knowing that you a lying ass dickhead is my foundation for you.
Now go on DraftKings and win 150k on your first try playing NBA GM…
LMAO BITCH ASS.
I brought up Cousins trade talk and Mhenski and I went back and forth on it…at no point was that ever discussed or did you ever have a say in it…just shows how you glommed on and tried to make yourself all knowing when you don’t know shit.
Of course you would bring up 4 years ago lmao YOU STAY LYING.
So you have my IP Address??……What’s that suppose to mean? That I’m focused?? If you have it then you know we are no one in the same
That means nothing, but you can come see me any time. You can talk through the blog all you want. reality would jump up, and bite you in the ass if you were to see me = because Yes you would get the same treatment as EOS….You would learn that very quickly, and painfully….believe that.
If you want credit for initiating the Cousin trade talk be my guest, but most on here know better – You weren’t even posting on here when I began talking about that……But you call me a liar Huh?……LOL!!
LOL!!….Do you really think I care that you don’t respect me???
Too many on here that do. If there is anyone else that doesn’t like yourself or E0S, let them speak up on their own, instead of you acting as if you speak for everybody – because you are in the minority…
Answer my question, for the 20th time, and help the majority of us respect you, instead of listening to you running your mouth….
Let’s hear it mouth………..LOL!!!
Gmcliff do yourself a favor you lying fool and tag the archives so you don’t trip yourself up and start backtracking lmao
CAUGHT YOU LYING AGAIN LMFAO DICKHEAD
You’ll always see it like that as long as you have selective memory, or continue to create imaginary quotes – all that is in your mind – thus you justify your lying…
I never stated that he was Samuel Dalambert. I did say his ceiling was DeAndre Jordan – a Defensive presence – and most disagreed. I am very much aware of what I have stated about Noels garbage potential – He would be best suited coming off the bench.
Are you saying emblids potential is deandre jordan…..not noel right?
No he means Noel…only showing how big a hypocrite he is Z. DeAndre Jordan is only going to be the possibly DPOY and has all star potential…but then in the same token hes garbage…
Hes just another online troll. A BITCH ASS TROLL.
Agreed Embid is the key to a championship. I for one believe it is our turn to get lucky with a superstar and Embid is going to provide us with that. With the draft picks,Saric and the couple of young pieces we have along with Noel who will have his role defined once Embid steps on the court I have no doubt this franchise begins the process starting this October. I for one am excited about what begins next October.
Noel can stay or go…I am fluid on him…like his potential alot…but I am a fan of the stretch 4 and perimeter play so if Embiid is the real deal I want to build my offense by spreading the floor and having my guards create for open looks or let the big man create out of the post.
If Noel can consistently hit a 12-15ftr he can still provide spacing and defensively we would be terrors….but you are right we have some great pieces slowly falling into place.
I am a Lakers fan for the rest of the season.
Hinkes next goal is to find us that Tony Parker like PG who is smart, can get in the lane at will, shoot and make everyone better.
Dag, that’s why I think Brown pushed MCW out , I think MXW can be an all around pg but he was never going to develop into a threat from the perimeter.
Z GMCliff was cosigning Noah Vonleh over Embiid…
Said Dante Exum was better than MCW right now and would trade MCW and a pick to get him..
Same Exum who couldn’t beat out Trey Burke… Whose isn’t better than MCW.
You know shit lmao
Im not saying exum wont turn out good because i never say a player is a bust before 3 years of their career but exum has a long way to go….im glad we got emblid
You’re right Z.
Damn i just found who you compared noel with gmc……fucking dalembert come on man your hate for noel is fucking crazy…..noel is way better then that
I never said that either Z, but I disagree.
I’m starting to think you, and IJ are the same person. He generally blows his own horn, and no one seconds his opinions – except him – His opinions are generally his, and his alone…..Just saying
BWAHAHAHAHAHA NOW ME AND Z ARE THE SAME
Fuck that gmc i aint no damn izell i agree with him some but dude everytime u feel attacked u pull that damn you guys are the same people shit….dont pull that shit on me….ive been cool with u man and haveny called you any names
LOL!!….no one else would get upset like that for something that’s not true…..and for the record I haven’t called you any names.
You’re still cool with me, until I get the impression you’ve evolved into Izzell Jenkins – who calls out others he thinks are signing in as other personalities, and continues to do it himself – and is dumb enough to think that isn’t somewhat obvious.
Dude im done with noel talk shits over we just fucking traded mccoy let that shit go
Gmcliff you’re a lying fucked with no credibility. Eat a dick.
and your still the only one talking, because it’s YOUR opinion alone, and your opinion isn’t worth two farts from a dead man…
I asked you for your opinion, and you circumvented the question. But I get it. That being said, you should really consider watching your mouth……it’s your credibility that smells if you ask me; always talking crap – but don’t think your crap stinks.
Why won’t you answer my question?…LOL!! Knowledgeable my ass….
Your exact quote about noel”Dalembert is a fair comparison”wtf dude you are killing me
Yo Z..look at this….
gmcliff
May 20, 2014 – 10:45 pm
NOT!!! …..My wang is thicker than Nerlens Noel…He’s not a Power Forward……and we don’t want Embiid – He’s a scrub…
Lol too much
He says this Z….
He isn’t Johkim Noah, or Tyson Chandler either, that’s what some of you said, and you’re rationalizing – that’s all, just rationalizing – especially when I see 5 points 6 rebounds, or 3 points 5 rebounds more consistently than 10 points 15 rebounds. Those are numbers I should see coming from off the bench, from a guy with one skill set.
Now look at both those guys numbers their first 3 years….
Dude has absolutely NO KNOWLEDGE
Dude doesn’t care about the numbers. I look at the overall talent, and He is a Shot Blocker – That’s it………
Anyone with knowledge knows the numbers don’t tell the whole story. Samuel Dalambert had numbers in some games….. so what??!!
His overall talent said he’s garbage
Lol really GMLYINASSCLIFF….do I have to show the numerous post that stats and numbers are the first thing you base many of your arguments off of? LMAO SHUT YOUR LYING ASS UP.
Yes you do……please do..
Nah im done with you….I already exposed you on here….as you can see…most of us are talking wth ease without nonsense.
You are the one no one listens too or wants to be bothered with.
Plus theres a huge archive of posts that show how big of a lying dickheadyou are lmao
That’s because you have nothing of the sort – that’s just you talking out of your ass to justify your so called knowledge, but your scared to put yourself out here to be criticized
Like I said very familiar behavior….
More lying huh IJ???
I wanted Andrew Wiggins like everyone else over Joel Embiid, and our 2nd pick to be Vonleh, and actually stated Exum’s ball handling, and overall point guard vision skills were better than MCW’s – right now – who is a shoot first point guard.
you’re trying, but you’re also looking like an ass in the process – Get your facts straight , and double check your archives before you put your foot in your mouth – like you just did…
I know more about basketball than you know about spelling your name.
I’m still waiting to hear your plan to rebuild the Sixers to Championship form….Are you going to give an answer, or are you going to do an E0S, and cower off, because you aren’t as knowledgeable as you claim???
You wanting Vonleh says everything about your basketball knowledge lmao
Stop trying to sidestep the question and put your mouth somewhere other than your ass….and answer the question.
I say you’re all mouth, and lack the knowledge to ever criticize me. Let’s hear some of this so called knowledge….
You , and I know you won’t put yourself out there like that – reminds me of someone else who was all mouth…..
GMCliffs exact comment on Embiid…”He’s trash..”
Post it if that’s true please. I would like to see that quote……
I think Noel is trash. I may have said that.
Like when GMCliff said this?
gmcliff
May 20, 2014 – 10:45 pm
NOT!!! …..My wang is thicker than Nerlens Noel…He’s not a Power Forward……and we don’t want Embiid – He’s a scrub…
Hold up Izell, Embiid hasn’t played one minute of NBA ball so we don’t know what he is right now, he looks good in pre game warmups but shit so do I, and with Noel he is painful to watch sometimes and if he doesn’t remind you of Dalembert when he’s fumbling around with the ball and making terrible turnovers then that’s you, because I see the comparison.
Thats true big but from where noel started to what he is becoming is pretty good man….ive watched him progress every game and he rushes a lot on offense but to see him hitting jumpers, improving at the foul line, and actually having a little hook shack is amazing…..brett brown gets a lot of the credit but noel is working his but off
Shot
Z, do you see Noel being moved on draft day?
It would take a haul to move noel but yes especially if it involves cousins….id trade ouf 1st rd pick and noel for him in a heartbeat
Big I can see Noel being moved at the deadline next year depending on the makeup of the team with Embiid. Embiid makes all the pieces fall into place good or bad.
If you draft Mudiay you made need a perimeter oriented 4…Noel is not that. If its Russell Noel could thrive with that because as you can see with just Canaan and JRich playing when its a spread out court he more athletically talentd than most opposing teams big men.
Noel can step out on the floor and defend I would absolutely need a Cousins in return or a pick that would allow both Mudiay and Russell fall in my lap. I know I’m being greedy but if he got that Laker pick for a limited MCW go for it with Noel.
Big after watching what Brett Brown can do with PGs that can shoot…what they got for MCW was a kings ransom IMO.
I am a fan of MCW. I was frustrated by his offensive decision making and why he couldn’t use his size better.
The spacing by just a threat on the perimeter has helped the athletes on this team thrive.
That’s IJ talking………nobody else cares about Noel…
He’s just rationalizing Biggy, that’s all he does, and thinks he’s smarter than most because Noel has a good game or two, but as you watch the game it’s obvious to me he lacks……he’ll rationalize to save face, but Noel still doesn’t resemble the borderline potential superstar he envisions.
Omg why do you keep saying superstar gmc….jesus man and for real i hope to god you dont think me and izell are the same people that shit is pissing me off
I say potential borderline superstar, because what other reason would you guys get so offended by someone saying, Noel is nothing close to talented enough to lead this team to becoming a Championship contender if you didn’t see him like that???
Both Joahkim Noah, and Tyson Chandler have made All star teams. You’re crazy if you think Noel will ever play in one of those games – and those guys are superstars – That’s why I say that, because you have to feel that way otherwise these disagreements are meaningless…..
Why would it piss you off if it’s not true?????
that doesn’t make sense…….
Noah and chandler make all star teams and they are superstars now……we have diffrent opinions on superstars and players that can help you win a championship……i believe noel can do what those guys can do to win championships but they arent the superstars….its dirk and rose for those respected teams and ours will hopefully be emblid and mudiay
Cuz dude i act on emotion all the time and fucking hac called me stupid and i went nutz…..i dont like when people call me shit i aint….so plz dude dont fucking call me izell, i dont know if you are focused or whatever but if u say u are not then i wont say u are
Z he changes the argument every 5 mins because he cant have an argument that he didn’t steal from somewhere or rank list he didn’t pull from online.
He changes everything about Noel because he cant find one thing that I or others have said calling him a superstar…but he went out on a limb and called him trash and he is nothing of the sort and looks dumb.
HES A LYING DICKHEAD.
LMAO go back to the football thread and amuse yourself with Paulman.
If thats his opinion of noel thats cool…..its ok to disagree…..but that shit with the you are this person tat person i cant stand just plain dumb…we all grown men….just be who u are
Z because you hit it on the head…when attacked that’s his move….
He doesn’t remind me anything at all of Dalembert…its the quick lazy comparison IMO Big. Dalembert was a rim protector and had no court awareness…if the ball was near him he could make plays but outside of that he was a bum. You couldn’t even run offense through him out of the high post which is what the Sixers frequently do with Noel. Again no comparison to Noel….
Ive said it more than once if there is something close its Noah. The numbers the style of play etc back it up.
So is Biggie a no nothing dumbass??
If I’m that because I disagree with you about Noel, than I can deal with that laughing my ass off.
Most of us have knowledge, AND EYES…Biggie just testified to that, but I guess I’m Bigelion too, because he agrees with me huh??…LOL!!!
I have come to agree with you on the whole tanking thing because I see light at the end of the tunnel, MCW had to go now let’s get Mudiay or Russell hope Embiid is the real deal and get Saric over here and start winning some games, if they pick the right pieces in a couple of years this will be fun to watch but right now, we’re just staring at a big ass house of cards hoping the wind doesn’t blow.
Its all about hoping these pieces come together to make a beautiful masterpiece….and emblid is the key piece
BigL Mudiay been on my radar for a minute…but Russell has scoring abilities you can’t teach….with his size and ball skills hes overtaking Mudiay at the minute….Mudiay is a bull in a china shop though…love his toughness.
Russell is smooth Izell could you imagine if both of them wound up in Philly? That dude has an old school feel to his game but he gets it in.
He anticipates and makes plays young cats wouldn’t even dream about.
If we got both of those guys dude we would be a playoff team next year….lol especially in east but id rather have the tougher mudiay….he reminds me of d rose
Hes body type actually reminds me of a hulked up Kyle Lowry.
I am going perimeter first….but have no problem with the BigCat coming this way either…I want no part of Okafor and I’m a Duke fan. Hes the big man version of Carlos Boozer.
Yo Z found this nugget about McRae…don’t think we see him until next year if that.
So, expect Jordan McRae to sign a contract with the Delaware 87ers and go into their program for the remainder of the season. He won’t be called up by anyone, because the Sixers have his draft rights. The only team that could bring him up are the Sixers and they would have to sign him to a deal, not just a 10-day contract.
Damn i kinda wanted too see him this yr……oh well…..did you see j rich last nite man…the.guy can sure score…..it was amazing after what he went through
