This is sad but, the silver lining is the way he went out. He was probably going triple the speed limit in his Lamborghini while in the DR. If there’s any good way to go that’s gotta be at the top of the list.

Mary Jo Kopechne?

Yes, absolutely, at total idiot. However and I say this with no US or long term NFL prejudice at all.

He is also, a sporting hero. IDGAF, that is commitment to the stupid, pointless cause that I can appreciate.

Incidentally, according to Wikipedia, “’Timor’ derives from timur, the word for ‘east’ in Malay, which became recorded as Timor in Portuguese, thus resulting in the tautological toponym meaning ‘East East.’”

Kings Say Rudy Gay has A Torn Achillesay

But alas there is still no possible way this didn’t happen exactly the way deadspin says it did.

I can make an argument the Warriors are terrible because all their key players are past their physical primes, too. But why bother?

Okafor is a sunk cost (and getting KP would’ve probably cost us Simmons). Embiid looks like he could be the best big man to enter the league since Duncan. Simmons could flop, I suppose,…

Gloating? All I’m doing is that weird thing where I try to, y’know, enjoy a team that’s doing reasonably well compared to preseason assumptions and has a fun new superstar (with another on the way!). That seems like the better way to be a sports fan.

Well, that and dumping on the shitpile teams we had five years ago.…

Actually look at their roster, dummy. They have an embarrassment of young talent. I know it’s fashionable to shit on Sam Hinkie, but they have the following players who were first round picks, who are all under the age of 23:

Plus two lottery picks* and swap rights with Sacramento in a loaded draft. And Ben Simmons. And the Kings’ 2019 pick. And the Thunder’s 2020 pick. Plus a boatload of a 2nd rounders from teams like the Knicks (has Deadspin ever discussed that successful franchise?). And a clean cap sheet in a rising cap. In five years,…

meh, he flipped mcw for the lakers pick. and was widely panned here for trading the “next jason kidd.”

The System absolutely worked. I made this point on 2 other Knicks posts. The 76ers will be good long before the Knicks are. Hinkie put his foot in his mouth a few too many times, but the man had a simple scientific hypothesis that was proven out. He was right and it pisses me off to no end that d-bag Colangelo is…

Hinkie didn’t trade for Bynum.

When said “solid contributor” is your overpaid best player, you’re not going anywhere.

the sixers ended up with embiid who is a superstar in the making.

well they have two players 22 and under who they can now build a team around. but yeah, for sure man, 7-10 conference finish as your ceiling is way more ideal.

well, you weren’t very bright if you didn’t realize it was going to produce putrid basketball going in.

It’s really a shame the Sixers didn’t keep Evan Turner, Spencer Hawes and Andre Iguodala and keep making runs at the 7 seed, though.

“The Sixers shouldn’t have drafted Joel Embiid”

Yes, please regale me with everything you know about me from one post.
