Quote:I would be surprised if Hinkle either lasts until the end of the season, or still makes personnel decisions.

 

Hinkie (from Wikipedia) -- quite honestly, I don't know what to say about the transactions below BUT check out their 2016 Daft .....

 

2016 Draft

Sixers Pick (Lottery)

Lakers 1st round Pick (Protected if Lakers pick 1-3)

Heat 1st round Pick (Protected if Heat pick 1-10)

Thunder 1st round Pick (Protected if Thunder pick 1-15)

 

Best case scenario Sixers pick #1, #4, #11, #16 ---- add Saric the #12 pick from last year (who is coming to the US in a couple years) and they may have something in 3 years.   OH WAIT, BY THAT TIME Nerlens Noel will be hitting free agency...... 

 

 

Hinkie's first major move took place during the 2013 NBA Draft, when Hinkie traded All-Star point guard Jrue Holiday to the New Orleans Pelicans for the Pelicans' top-5 protected 2014 pick and Nerlens Noel. Hinkie also selected future Rookie of the Year Michael Carter-Williams and Arsalan Kazemi in the draft.^[12] In August 2013, Hinkie hired former Spurs assistant Brett Brown as the new Sixers coach, replacing Doug Collins, who had stepped down before Hinkie's hiring.^[13] Hinkie's first year was marked with accusations that Philadelphia was "tanking" in order to get a high pick in the 2014 NBA Draft, and the Sixers tied the NBA record for longest losing streak.^[14]^[15] In two trades at the 2014 NBA trade deadline, Hinkie traded veteran Sixers Evan Turner, Spencer Hawes, and Lavoy Allen, acquiring five second round picks and Henry Sims.^[16] After the season, Hinkie traded long-time Sixer Thaddeus Young to the Minnesota Timberwolves for the Miami Heat's top-10 protected 2015 first round pick, Luc Richard Mbah a Moute, and Alexey Shved.^[17]

 

During the 2014 NBA Draft, Hinkie selected Joel Embiid, Dario Šarić (after a trade that sent Elfrid Payton to the Magic), K.J. McDaniels, Jerami Grant, Vasilije Micic, and Jordan McRae; Hinkie also traded the 47th pick in the draft for NBA Developmental League veteran Pierre Jackson.^[18] During the 2014-2015 season, Hinkie signed D-League veteran Robert Covington to a four-year contract; alongside Noel and Carter-Williams, Covington was selected to participate in the 2015 Rising Stars Challenge.^[19] In three separate deals at the 2015 trade deadline, Hinkie traded Carter-Williams and McDaniels for Javale McGee, Isaiah Canaan, protected 2015 first round picks originally owned by the Lakers and the Thunder, and a second round pick.^[20]^[21] In the 2015 NBA draft, Hinkie selected Jahlil Okafor with the third overall pick, along with Richaun Holmes and J. P. Tokoto in the second round.^[22] During the 2015 off-season, Hinkie traded two second round picks for Nik Stauskas, Jason Thompson, Carl Landry, a future first round pick, and the right to swap first round picks with Sacramento in 2016 and 2017.^[23]
