I have slipped on a banana peel and injured my groin and tailbone because I was specifically trying to find out if banana peels were actually as slippery and dangerous as cartoons and Mario kart makes them appear. If they’ve had a chance to start decaying, they are very slippery and dangerous. However, I am somewhat…

They are the most qualified people for that job and there are artificial constructs in their way that serve no purpose but to benefit the cash cow of college basketball and protect NBA gms from their own incompetence. I think that’s bullshit and find it strange that you don’t.

Um, they graduate high school and are 18. They are adults. They should not be forced to go to college for a year for the benefit of the college and the NBA. What’s your argument again?

That’s part of the reason why people don’t think okafor was hinkies actual choice. I’m undecided.

All the more reason colangelo is butt. He willfully destroyed the market value of a player when he could have just signed the option and kept his (small) value. Or traded him years ago.

There were widespread reports in the media that the sixers were offered lottery picks for him. There’s reports that the celtics offered a nets pick. I’m not making up anything. You can claim the media made shit up, but don’t claim I’m making shit up to bolster my argument. The media was largely pro colangelo and any…

I’ll admit I’ve only heard rumors that the sixers were offered lottery picks following that rookie season, but the rumors are widespread. The celtics are believed to have offered such a trade and colangelo sr wouldn’t allow it because he wanted his son to be able to shape the roster. That’s the reports I’ve heard in…

Because toys appreciate in value if you leave them in the box. This toy would have been more useful and valuable in another situation.

Also the Browns just passed on Goff and Wentz, who looks like the MVP right now, in his second year!

You’re kinda right. Belichick is obviously a great GM too, but his coaching really boils down to, “how can I put my players in a position to maximize their skillset and hide their flaws?” And no one else seems willing or able to do this. They all have their ideas about what system is best, force square pegs into round…

Colangelo is butt. Sixers could have had Fultz at 3. Jahlil could have been traded after his rookie year for a lottery pick. That’s two great first round picks this guy has cost the sixers and he (mostly) gets a pass in the media because he isn’t hinkie.

Just trade him to anyone but the Celtics for a 2nd rounder. Doesn’t matter if you have to trade a late one just to move up a bit. Him and Stauskas are complete wastes of roster spots and these 8 man rotations are getting tiresome for the players and fans alike. Bring up Furkan or anyone now that Anderson is out. TLC…

I blame the nepotism hire of Elway. You can’t just give him the job because he is the son of a Bronco.

Good Sixers player, elite perimeter defender, who was not here to help the Sixers lose, signs team-friendly contract.

Considering this wisdom is something most are taught as small children, yes.

Plenty of people (rightfully so) think it’s bullshit that 17-18 is old enough to fight and die for your country, but not be given your full rights as an adult. Why do you feel the need to attack this idea? It is basically indefensible that our government treats its citizens this way. What are you angry about?

I don’t understand how anyone can be on the side of: let’s make adults do things that could make them forgo millions of dollars so that the NBA can be a little more sure of the kind of player their drafting and college basketball programs worth millions of dollars can extract multiple years of below market value…

That point is especially bad when the team that won was led by a white kid.

Therefore, he is there to help the sixers lose is a ridiculous, dumb, and unfounded argument. That’s all I’m getting at here. Deadspin was wrong, comically so by the looks at how much they value him now.

So you’re seriously completely unwilling to look at that stat and say that Covington helped those bad teams win games? It doesn’t really matter if the lineups changed over time. That doesn’t change the point at all. On several different bad teams instead of one, they were significantly better with him on the court.
