    So I just read Michael Barkan says a source told him Embied is 100% healthy and that Embied posted on Wrotens Instagram page how he can't wait for the season to start. Think we can breathe a little easier folks...

    some of us knew this was all bs from the get-go. Hinkie Magic at work

    I love all of the speculation created by Hinkie. No one has a clue what he's going to do tonight, which means he's already accomplished what he has been trying to do since the season ended.

    My best guess...I really think they end up with two picks in the top 10-12 (which could mean they trade back from three and the genius fans' heads all explode, which I'm kinda rooting for). I think they end up with some combo of russell or mudiay...herzonja (who is boys with saric) or winslow.

    I will be shocked if they come out of tonight with all four of their first round picks that should vest next year. I think we are all in for a wild ride tonight.

    Signed up for season tickets and got invited to the Sixers official draft party. Long week of work and I didn't have it in me to make it up there. But as I've said since day 1, I'm all in on the Hinkie bandwagon. I have a feeling that after tonight I'm going to have a lot more company than I previously did...mainly because philly fans are cavemen.

    Jim James sums up the Hinkie strategy perfectly..."Believe...Nobody Knows...."

    BEEEEELLLLIIEEEEEEEEEEVVVVVVVVEEEEE!!!!!!

    tanking and ending up with the 3rd pick and then trading back to 10-12 is asinine. wasn't the point of tanking to increase your chances of getting a superstar (yes yes it was). you aren't getting a superstar at 10-12 (have you seen who is predicted to go 10-12...blah). getting two picks at 10-12 will lead you back to the mediocre never good enough basketball that you so loved before. Don't get fucking cute and take Russell or Okafor.

    in general a couple of mid-round guys I really like: Kevon Looney from UCLA, RJ Hunter from Georgia State and Delon Wright from Utah.

    Hinkie may like herzonja, mudiay, porzingas, winslow, booker, etc more than russell. Also, there's a rumor that the lakers are taking russell at 2 (then going after love, aldridge, or cousins). And there are a handful of teams willing to pay a kings ransom for okafor if he falls to 3. No one knows what Hinkie is going to do. It's awesome...he's the best.

    You need to be correct about one or two things before people start to take you seriously. I'm not holding my breath.

    Here we go...regardless of this pick people will freak out. Even though the guy they take has about a 50/50 shot of being on the roster in an hour. haha

    2013 it was NO
    2014 it was Orlando

    I hear you and I agree. I just think it's insane to think this dude is a genius and its fail proof.

    a few hours ago you wanted to trade the pick to get two picks around 10-12. you all over the place man. I guess if you take every angle possible you are correct at least once.

    there were 3 really possible superstar type players in the draft and the Sixers got one. not the perimeter one and not my 1st choice but under the circumstances the right choice. just a shame that in a perimeter oriented league that two years in row tanking left the Sixers one pick away from the perimeter stud of the draft. going to suck to see Wiggins and Russell be stars in the league over the next decade or so and think what might have been.
