The Philadelphia 76ers have recently updated their uniforms and unlike their organization tactics, they’re beautiful. Which brings me to their absolutely God awful front office.
After the news of the Lakers and Sixers being into European prospect Kristaps Porzingis, the Sixers have gone daydreaming and are reportedly “leaning towards” getting Kristaps.
We’ve been hearing both Mudiay and Russell’s name here for months. But over the past few weeks multiple sources around the league suspect that Sam Hinkie may actually be leaning toward Porzingis. He’s an odd fit given the Sixers abundance of big men (though news that Joel Embiid‘s foot hasn’t healed may change the fit analysis). But Hinkie has always drafted based on the best player available strategy. He doesn’t draft for need. So while the team needs Mudiay or Russell more, if he believes Porzingis is the best player on the board, so be it. Or, as one rival GM opined, this Porzingis intel is all a smoke screen to get Orlando (who loves Porzingis) to trade up to three and give Hinkie another coveted asset.
Now I think this would be a good fit believe it or not. I know right, me an Sam Hinkie on the same wavelength, maybe my dog will poop gold tomorrow.
Yes they already have Noel and Embiid, but with the skill Porzingis has, they can easily start him at 3 and use him as a de facto stretch 4. But I think they need Mudiay or D’Angelo. Shame Sam Hinkie is clinically insane and drafts whoever makes him clap the most.
