Nice to see you, Mr. Colangelo.

Good decisions can lead to unfortunate outcomes. The Sixers have been unlucky to not end up with their guy in each draft ... It doesn’t mean that it wasn’t the right strategy.

I'm trying to decide if your first line is supposed to be funny...

Nobody in Philly wanted him though, we were fine with the Hinkie plan, only the rest of the owners weren’t. Colangelo is an Adam Silver plant, and he shows it every time he bad-mouths someone in the organization. He’s done it to players saying Nerlens can’t play the four, he’s done it to assistant coaches when he…

Yes. There are a couple of self-evident truths in the NBA. One is that you absolutely need a top-10 player in the league to really compete for a championship. The other is that those guys are overwhelmingly found in the top 5 of the draft. The third is that, historically speaking, seasons belonging to top-10 players…

thats a bit disingenuous, she’s clearly done a shit load more.

This so much. I get Jerry Colangelo is probably a nice knowledgeable guy but everyone slobbers over him so much considering he doesn’t have a championship. Plus could you imagine if Goodell just decided to force someone on an organization like Silver did. Deadspin would be killing him and rightfully so.

The 2014-present Sixers are actually infinitely more enjoyable than what came before them. The 2013 Andrew Bynum season was more miserable for me than the failing of the ‘Dream Team’ Eagles, the offense of the Doug Collins era was 22 seconds of dribbling and hand-offs culminating in a contested 18 footer, and I wasted…

We agree that the best path to NBA success is to forcibly install a 76 year old with six decades of NBA experience and being kind of good with zero championships.

Which FAs would you have signed if you were the GM? Would you have gone all out for Monroe? Maybe you would have kept Holiday? Just curious because I read a fair amount of press about how teams should “rebuild” rather than try for mediocrity but apparently you have to be more subtle about it than the sixers.

Yeah, I'm confused by all the hate the sixers get since teams have been out tanking them the whole time. I guess it's okay if you're sneaky able it. And in a few years when they're actually a good team I'm sure deadspin will point to Colangelo as the key and ignore all the assets Hinkie put together.

Deadspins continued hate of the process is starting to become a joke. You guys are starting to spit hot Bayless takes. You guys should hire someone who actually knows basketball.

The Sixers were a big joke even before Hinkie. Their best GM of the past two decades has been Billy King. Christ.

You’d never want your client wasting away on a team that’s playing your buddies from the YMCA 25 minutes a night so they can lose and accrue more ping pong balls.

I’m with Bill Murray on this one. He wasn’t at a public event or anything. He should be able to enjoy his dinner without people snapping photos WITH THEIR FLASHES ON or at all. This is rude and treating people like objects is always fucked. Plus, they’re going to get plenty of money because of their shitty behavior so…

Philly has always been a town that has hated mediocrity and yet been treated to it repeatedly. We’re all so in favor of the process (like shitcanning Andy Reid) because it at least tantalizes us with the chance of greatness rather than being mired in the muck of another Flyers first round playoff exit.

Sorry Chiefs…

I have a degree in economics from a school you could never sniff. When the economy was doing well liberals tried to give Obama credit for the markets. Now it’s apparent we’re on the brink of another recession and Obamas policies are in part to blame. He's one of the worst presidents ever.

Meanwhile the Dow tanks and the economy sinks into recession while deadspin pretends Obama is a good president.
