Didn't you create the poll? I thought it was to see what posters' opinions are?

yes. I would like if they stated their opinion. I am hoping that voters would state their reasons aside from just voting.

I created the poll because I thought that perhaps there are some that are more blinded than I thought possible. So far only three blind mice so its not terrible.

I voted Philly but in the past sometimes I vote Knicks because I think the polls are focused on doom and gloom/hater topics so I just vote Knicks because I think the polls are bs. Also, there are legitimate concerns regarding Hinkie and taking the next step in team building.

all concerns are legitimate until it actually comes to fruition.

Morey had everyone killing him too before he pulled off the Harden trade.

Hinkie is waiting for that Harden type trade ... lets see if it pans out.

However, Hinkie has put himself in position to miss many times and still have enough chances to hit many times.

The knicks need to hit a 2 outer on the river.

This is on top of Noel, Embiid and some of their other shveds.

Yeah ... we got those sixers right where we want them.

I knew they had a few, but damn. the likely wont get the Lakers or the Thunders pick imo. Do they get a 2nd rounder in those cases?

No. There get a future number one.

Nice work for them, now all they need is someone to build it.

Following his graduation from Stanford, Hinkie joined the Houston Rockets in 2005 as a special assistant to general manager Carroll Dawson.[2][5] Hinkie was promoted to vice president in 2007, becoming the youngest vice president in the NBA; in that same year, Daryl Morey became the new Rockets general manager.[6] Hinkie was promoted to Executive Vice President in 2010.[4] In Houston, Hinkie promoted the use of advanced statistics in professional basketball while "second-in-command" to General Manager Daryl Morey, another widely known advocate of advanced basketball analytics.[7] While in Houston, Hinkie played a key role in acquiring future starting point guards Kyle Lowry and Patrick Beverley.[2]

Hinkie is a young stud who seems to know more than we think that we know that he knows.

Are there not concerns about Phil Jackson?

Still gotta put it together. Kind of like how folks just knew Brian Shaw would be a good coach for instance and he's trash. Hinkie has an owner that told him to pull triggers, me and you could have do the same thing. But building a team is hard, not too many have done it from scratch. Not saying Hinkie cant do it, just merely someone will have to. So far all Hinkie has done is stockpile.

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.

Just because a team has lots of picks cap space, it doesn't mean they will become sign great players. Just because they have cap space, it doesn't mean they will land great players. 76ers Knicks have very little in real terms- Noels is looking promising, but that's just about it nobody looks promising. They will struggle to sign any free agent, so they will be reliant on getting lucky with their picks.
