What is Philadelphia 76ers GM, Sam Hinke, doing?

[PleezeBelieve]

Got raped twice in 5 hours by trading proven expiring assets for less talented expiring assets and second round picks.

What he's doing is getting picks that he can package in the future. Trading an expirer for and expirer and picks is a win. Hinkie is doing just fine. You have to realize that the Sixers had no leverage w Turner because the whole league knew the Sixers weren't going to resign him. They made smart moves not bad ones.

He's an idiot, has anyone ever thought otherwise?

Tanking. I commend him for trying to out tank the bucks.

[Twiens]

Hardcore tanking

[Meticode]

They're tanking to try to get that top #1 pick next year. They have Noel. Not sure the future of Young. My assumption is they're not going for Embiid since they have Noel unless that doesn't work out. So I'm guessing they're shooting for Parker, Wiggins or Randle.

[PleezeBelieve]

They were "tanking" before he essentially gave away assets 25 cents on the dollar

Sounds like amateurs hour to me.

Problem is the Bucks aren't even trying to tank. They're just that bad

Yeah, pretty much this. I would have liked to see them get more for Turner but they clearly couldn't if this is the trade they executed. It is going to be a really ugly second half of the season tho.

Noel, MCW, + top 3 pick this year = future

Who cares about Hawes and Turner?

Yes, but this is a whole new level. IF you're going to tank, you might as well try to get the most ping pong balls.

Young could still be a big part of that. He's still only 25.

[PleezeBelieve]

Again, these moves appear to me to be less about tanking than a GM who is in over his head. He hit on the Pelicans trade that got him MCW, but even then, in the moment the move was made it looked very questionable on paper.

They were on track for a top 3 pick with Hawes and Turner. Why do you people keep talking about a tank?

So he made a good move, despite the fact that it went against conventional wisdom? Doesn't sound like someone in over their head to me.

+ the Pelicans lotto pick (or just outside lotto) too.
