    A worrying sign for the Sixers (except insofar as their real intention is to tank) is that their defense is crap and right now they're winning on offense. Hands up if you expect THAT to last.

    Probably could have had Kobe Bryant as well although we didn't pass him up.

    lol. If we didn't pass him up, then it DOESN'T MATTER.

    Logic. Common Sense.

    Everyone forgot him because they confused Michael Carter-Williams with Michael Kidd-Gilchrist and Kentavious Caldwell-Pope.

    Multiple bad teams have given up on him. That's never a good sign (See: Robinson, Thomas). He was given the starting PG job in PHI and lost it. Was traded to MIL, where he was once again given the starting PG job, and lost it.

    He has had some sort of injury every year he's been in the league, and his scoring and many of his advanced stats have gone down every year.

    What's really kind of amazing, is that very first game is his best ever (if you go by the basketball-reference.com GmSc - single game equivalent of PER). He actually did get a couple triple doubles later in his rookie year, but the GmSc of 34.7 for that very first NBA game remains his highest, by far (second highest = 26.0). Talk about peaking too soon...

    All good defenders, none can shoot. Seems to be a theme with the Hyphens: Rondae Hollis-Jefferson, Al-Farouq Aminu, Willie Cauley-Stein...

    How are those Syracuse players and American born white centers working out?

    I like him a lot. I think he just needs to find his place. That first season with the Sixers they were so dependant on him to win that they benched him for most of the season so he doesn't interfere with their tanking

    Our team chemistry doesn't need speed, but could use a little dash in the drink.

    Incorrect. He started all 70 of 70 games that he played that year. The few games he didn't play where due to injuries and very early in the season.

    I'm an old man and I've killed a lot of brain cells over the years but am I the only one who remembers that EVERY scouting report said MCW couldn't hit the ocean while standing in the surf??? There's a reason he keeps getting traded, as in, EVERY scouting report was correct. He has "journeyman" tattooed on his forehead......
