I don’t think the Heat have the firepower to stay with Phillyy, with or without Embiid. Blown out by 27 last night. Philly in 5 or 6, 7 if needed.

Plus others read these replies beside you.

You’re not worth the toilet paper to care about.

Adding players to a core of gifted one’s generated by the draft IS part of the “Process”. Moron. We didn’t go out and *buy a fucking team* like a whole host of others either did or are lusting to do. (see Lakers, LA). You all are the worst hypocrites. Player colluded super teams are just fine. Use the corrupt system…

Hey Albett. I’m from Philly. Take you and your your damn site’s whining anti Hinkie bias and shove it up your ass. Wah. You ignore all the teams who blatantly tanked for years..Fuck you. It goddamn WORKED. How do you like them apples.

Don’t let greedy unethical morons like this into ownership for a start. And throw them out, NOW.

is one of the first creative ideas I’ve seen. I would add league regulation that strips the glamour cities from pillaging. No more special favors for LA, Boston, Miami, etc. You notice the NFL does not have this problem. Baseball still does to a degree. But Houston and Chicago won partly because they tanked. BECAUSE…

Rather than focus on rearranging deck chairs on the Titanic, the WHY of tanking needs to be addressed. This is a league that has less upward mobility than any other. It is a league where certain teams are freely allowed to rob other teams blind. It is a league where “glamour cities” hold a distinct advantage over…

Sisyphus did not enjoy his task, he was damned by the Gods and Camus’ metaphor looks silly. If he had chosen a better one, perhaps his argument would be on more solid ground. For not everyone believes life is absurd and without meaning.

Billy Beane, Hilary Clinton, William Jennings Bryan, and a host of others are American Sisypus’. Not an inspirational myth. Meant to deter.

Good one.

Bingo.

But you can’t.

Hinkie was not planning to tank for a generation. He based his movement on analytics. The Wolves did it, added Butler and Teague and were headed for 4th seed until Butler got hurt. Just because LA didn’t do it right doesn’t mean it can’rt be done.

Yes, Hinkie actually was quite clever and had a plan. And those of is who had half a brain and weren’t dinosaur morons bought in right away. AND IT FRIGGING WORKED. Screw you Stephen A and all your jerk buddies.

Until the NBA makes real mobility possible, and stops glamour cites like LA from scooping up superstar players, the only alternative is to tank. All this crap about “the right way” is BULLSHIT.

See.. When the Sixers tanked, you knew what you were getting so you had a choice. Because Hinkie was upfront. “We will stink on purpose and stink until the time is ready.” Cavedat Emptor.” He didn’t pull this trash of screwing his fan base with bait and switch.

Tim Tebow certainly thinks so.

One of the greatest games ever invented. There are lots of dicks in every sport. Trump is lucky he is physically able to PLAY it. He’s gonna play football? At 70?.

I think you underestimate the deceiving treacherous nature of the course, especially the greens. It ate the golfers alive yesterday, except for a few. However I agree a lot of its stature is inflated. Has a huge racist misogynistic shadow.
