I mean, the Knicks deserved ridicule the same way the Redskins did. The Sixers were just an also ran in the world of ridiculous professional franchises.

But he participated in shooting drills! Lol, well we don't know "what now." We finally blew up the sustained mediocrity to take a chance and move forward. Now look what happened. I guess this is a repeat of the Brand fiasco and so many others before it. History says cut ties with Bynum's ass via sign and trade or just let him walk and start scrapping other bad contracts if that works out better. The team has an OK amount of flexibility, outside of Jrue and maybe Thad Young, no one has more than two years on their deal I don't think.

Collins won't get fired, he couldn't be expected to do much better with this bunch and, more tellingly, he just signed an extension. Teams make fires a lot more easily when it doesnt cost them a big pile of money.

Now, Bynum is still a unique talent and I think the Sixers will re-sign him. As I said above, the pattern dictates a future of injury, woe and regret, but they still seem like they will do it. When healthy, he would be the best center in the East.

>Honest question is what's the next move? What is Philly
>missing to get back in the playoff picture?

I don't give a shit about the playoffs, really. If the team is not going to host a series--which they are obviously not--I'd rather go into the lotto. I think the pick we moved for Moultrie was lotto protected, no?

That's the thing that pisses me off the most. We moved FOUR first rounders this offseason with the russian kid, harkless, the pick for moultrie and yet another future pick (right?). This is getting back to Billy King's way of doing business lol.

And you will know MY JACKET IS GOLD when I lay my vengeance upon thee.
