His name is Wiggins and hes the best prospect to come out since Lebron. Supposedly the top 3 are can't miss. Best NBA draft in 10 years

you have to admire their plan....Not unlike the flyers.

The difference between surgeons and hockey players, is that hockey players' performance is inconsequential in the scheme of things... they don't get paid a ton of money because they hold the balance of life and death in their hands... they're merely entertainers in a society that places way too much value on entertainment.

Actors, musicians and other entertainers are hardly expected to not enjoy the trappings of fame... why the double-standard when it comes to athletes? As long as they show up to work in a reasonably functional state, and their bosses don't have any complaints about their performance, we as fans should be fine with whatever they choose to do with their free time.

Perfectly said Hawk. I think athletes are held to a double standard due to one thing. Fans. Short for fanatics. An actor or singer makes a mistake, no problem just gets edited. An athlete makes a mistake and he can be a goat for life. Buckner, Bill.

and that said, the Sixers will probably lose the lottery.

Its real simple. Become a freeloader like me. Don't go to the games (unless you get a free ticket), don't buy the overpriced merchandise, etc. Just watch it at home and win or lose, understand it basically boils down to the above.

I don't think not going to the games, or buying the merchandise makes you a freeloader.

Maybe, but you can't fault the thinking because that is the only shot you have in the NBA. Actually in most sports that's the winning philosophy.

Unlike the Flyers luck.. this year the top 2 are near cant miss star players... Andrew Wiggins and Jabari Parker are both freaks....

and that said, the Sixers will probably lose the lottery.

Don't know much about this Wiggins kid. Will people care if the Sixers lose the lottery?

i don't like hartnell any more

The Sixers, unlike other Philly teams, have a pretty good track record with the lottery drawings.

In their last 14 lottery selections, they've never dropped down, and have bettered their position 7 times.

He must be heartbroken.

If that's the case, probability says they're due for some disappointment soon.

All 5 of their fans will be heartbroken.

I don't like basketball so honestly I have no clue. I just hope they do well because they are a philly team

I'd be more worried Starbucks being out of Hazelnut than the Sixers landing Wiggins. I could care less. But I don't like basketball so that's just me.

And plus, the Sixers owner, owns the Devils. So (frank) him. I hope they don't get Wiggins.

He isnt Lebron, but he has serious elite potential. Parker is a close second.

Are the 76ers expected to be that bad? Looks like they're middle of the pack standings-wise right now.

If the Sixers moved out of town, the only thing I'd notice would be a massive amount of focus on the Sixers for about a week, followed by an extra 1-2 minutes of hockey coverage every day.

Depends. If Barkley can stay healthy, they might surprise.

The over under for wins was set at 16.5... they play 82 games like the Flyers.

my wife wants to marry him told she gets me season tickets she can go

yes, by about 8 wins.

One "expert" had them at 9 wins.


EDIT: Sorry missed one other team (the Suns) who were at 21...

Well that's good. It'd suck just to be the 4th or 5th worst team if the top 2 picks are so good.
