Hinkie would have traded Melo, Tyson, THJ and Shump along time ago and he would have sold high and gotten a sh1t load of assets for them.

We wait until they are worth scraps or have dipped into negative value territory.

Trading Jrue and MCW early allows you to get high value for them when you believe that they may not be as good as they are worth.

He didnt get much for Hawes or turner. I don't remember the particulars of his other trades but I think if you compared either of those deals to Phil's Pablo trade you would say Phil did better. I do think he needed Granger's salary added to prevent the sixers from having to pay their players for being so far under the cap.

Of course he can't and didn't hit on every trade.

If you read about him and what he says and believes, you would see how he works. He believes that statistically, you will fail a lot or even most of the time. Therefore, you need to compile numerous chances so that you can afford the misses and possibly hit the big ones.

I have read about him.

and you think that he is less capable than others? You think that Phil is a better GM?

I think there is a legitimate concern that he is always looking at moves as providing the opportunity to have a better future without thinking about winning in the present. In regards to comparing Hinkie and Phil I am not sure who ends up being better. Would Hinkie have traded JR and Shump for a second, and six mil in cap space?

Hinkie would have traded shump while he still could get good value for him.

He would have dumped Tyson, Melo, Shump and Lil Timmy a long long time ago.

So far, Hinkie's moves have been mostly looked at as excellent ones.

so far has shown he can get cap space which is nice but is no guarantee free agents will sign. If he was able to get a couple first round picks then i probably would reconsider my answer to the poll

not sure what you are saying??

Yea if Hinkie pulls it off, drafts some studs and signs a Harden type, there will be books written about him and how to successfully trade players in professional sports.

Hinkie is the kind of young stud GM I've been clamoring for Phil to hire. Not Steve Mills!
Hinkie knows how the current nba operates. He understands the current CBA

Just because a team has lots of picks, it doesn't mean they will become great players. Just because they have cap space, it doesn't mean they will land great players. 76ers have very little in real terms- Noels is looking promising, but that's just about it. They will struggle to sign any free agent, so they will be reliant on getting lucky with their picks. The drafted MCW, and then moved him because ehe sucks. They drafted Embiid and then had doubts due to his foot injury and work ethic.

They don't even have that many extra no 1 picks- the OKC one will likely be late 1st round, as will the Miami one. We drafted Tim Jr and Shumpert with late 1st's. Mavs drafted Larkin with the 18th.

You're not winning anything without usage of the draft and having superior talent evaluators. it's hardly fools gold. You can name examples all day but look at your champions....they all have top drafted players, mixed in with mid drafts and some gems.

Been arguing this with boneheads for 15yrs

And if he drafts stinkers his legacy will suck. People just have blind faith in him, his actual record is not good.

you seem to just post things at times strictly out of emotion.
