The worst part about Embiid being good is that somewhere Hinkie is happy.

Spacebump posted:Isn't this true of almost all of the good defensive big men? Maybe a little but Bogut takes it to a Garnettian level Dejan Bimble posted:Spacebump: I wasn't attacking your assetion, it's just accepted that Bogut is an illegal screener extradonaire, Kevin Garnett Level. This is a good question for the thread: Who do you think is the best defensive big of the last 10 years who didn't set blatantly illegal screens I don't recall a lot of that from Tyson Chandler, Dwight didn't do it in Orlando (not sure after but he wasn't a great defensive big anymore regardless. Hibbert didn't move on them (or at all) because he's just a big golem, nor Yao, they were both so big they didn't need to. It's not universal at all. Basically anyone big enough or fast enough to get set even when his guy jumps the gun, unless they're like Garnett and just straight guard defensive players while on offense, as if to confuse them and see if they'll shoot at the wrong basket.

Much like flopping, illegal screens are an art. You don't have to be a Laimbeer-esque shithead about it but catching your dude by shuffling your feet helps open the offense up.

Philly has a much better chance of being a top-4 seed in the next few years than bad teams who chased mediocre trade and free agency targets and are still just bad, like Sacramento or Phoenix.

Looking the other way on illegal screens was a not insignificant part of opening the game back up and moving away from the terrible slog that was 90s and early 00s basketball so illegal screens are good imo

It's still really brutal to see a team flatline for four years, it's cool that his minmax twink one weird trick worked out for the Sixers but it's hard on the fans, especially when you have setbacks

Fans know when their team is trash, whether they waste a bunch of resources on expensive non impact players or not.

Yeah Philly isn't and won't be good for years still. It's also a pretty damning statement on the game that the only way to contend for a title is to at least win a superstar in the lottery. NBA is still cool though. Hinkie doesn't own.

It doesn't take a tech genius to figure out that if you are lovely for years and years then you get to draft* better players *but dont draft any guards for the love of god and also trade your decent guard too Also, I think its hosed up that you can get ejected for flipping some player the bird.

I sincerely apologize to my fellow Sixers fans, the Sixers organization, my colleagues and patients, and to Mr. Westbrook for my behavior," the statement said.

The NBA has always been that way though so it doesn't matter unless they created a cool system for distributing draft picks. Give the championship winner pick 30, the worst team in the league pick 29, the championship runner up pick 28, second worse 27, and so on. Some sort of bell curve model where the teams that are right on the cusp of the playoffs get the best picks would be cool and rad. It would also force the worst teams to get better in free agency before they could start getting decent picks. Maybe that would kill all the small market teams, but it wouldn't be different from how it currently is. a new study bible! fucked around with this message at 02:13 on Oct 28, 2016 |

The percentages of players being great in the teens is low tho. Simmons is going to play and be a monster and the whole thing will be academic .

Kawhi was picked 15th, hell he was traded for with a player that was on his last year. a new study bible! posted:The NBA has always been that way though so it doesn't matter unless they created a cool system for distributing draft picks.

Stupid GMs will never win championships no matter how many advantages you give them. You can literally give all the draft options to Billy King, he will still barely make the playoffs.
