meanwhile, back on planet earth, nerlens hasn't played an nba minute, MCW spent half the year regressing, and mirotic would be a top 10 pick this june.
yeah i know, i know... "the future"
lulz.
gimme a holla when that "future" manifests _anything_ of actual consequence, even if it's "only", you know, a measly ol' 4 yr run like the bulls just had.

i'd prefer chicago's situation pretty easily -- having the 16 & 20 in a loaded draft in addition to owning the rights to a guy who'd be a top 10 pick, $10+ mil upcoming in boozerless cap space, plus, you know, ALREADY BEING A 50 WIN TEAM, with a mostly under-30 core (noah, gibson, augustin, butler) -- to whatever you seem to think philly's future is.
you can pooh-pooh, and party vicariously thru bron, and be as dismissive as you like, but if the MCW + nerlens + whoever sixers can put together a 4 yr stretch like the bulls just had (.660 winning %, 3 playoff series wins and counting, league's best defense, league's best record twice, MVP, coach of the year, all-nba, all-defense) sometime in the next decade, they'd be damn lucky and 6er fans would be ecstatic.
shit, y'all bammas would be dancing like chead dogg in that winbush jawnt : http://youtu.be/J4IyDoVGAU0?t=3m45s
i mean, i get it. you don't want the sixers to be the bulls, you want them to be the heat. well, everybody wants to be the heat. there's only one bron tho. y'all might find the next one in this draft. prolly not. but even if you "only" end up being the bulls, it really ain't so bad.
btw: for the record, i actually do hope y'all get it together, the league's def better when the traditional east powers (philly, boston, new york, detroit) are all contending at the same time and it sucks that they're all terrible right now. i'm rooting for all those teams to come up.

it is a capital mistake to theorize before one has data. insensibly one begins to twist facts to suit theories, instead of theories to suit facts. - sherlock holmes
