I’M da BOSS

In a classic Lonely Island video, Seth Rogen asks Andy Samberg if he’s, “in charge around here?” To which, Samberg replies, “I’m da boss.”

At the Philadelphia 76ers’ introductory press conference for new General Manager Sam Hinkie, Managing Owner Josh Harris might as well have said, “I’m da boss,” as well.

During a lovely affair at PCOM, Harris and Hinkie basically announced that the Sixers will be moving in a new direction, and that Josh is the man leading the pack.

At the presser Harris mentioned how similar he and Hinkie are in their philosophies towards building this franchise. Josh also made it clear that Hinkie will “diligently” make roster decisions, take “smart risks”, add a “championship-caliber coach” and be “aggressive and push (his) chips into the middle.”

Even further evidence that Harris is now the man TCB-ing for this franchise, was the fact that Adam Aron — the face of the franchise for the last year — took an deep backseat at yesterday’s press gathering. That only gave credit to the rumors that former NBA GM John Nash started on SportsRadio 94 WIP that Aron will also assume a more limited role on the business and basketball side of the franchise.

So, let’s put all of this information together.

A BULLISH DECISION

The Sixers have been abandoned again. It was another three seasons of wasted basketball instead of moving closer to the ultimate goal of a championship. There were risks taken, hearts broken and blood vessels busted.

Yet, taking a trip down memory lane, what if I told you that the Sixers’ woes began way before the Andrew Bynum trade last summer? What if I told you that if the Sixers had just taken my advice that they’d be in the hunt for an NBA Championship right now as you’re reading this?

Without tooting my own horn too much, I’ll just let you see for yourself…

HOW ABOUT PJ ??

One day after the Brooklyn Nets failed to defeat the Chicago Bulls on their home court in Game 7 of the Eastern Conference playoffs, Bill King and company announced they would not retain interim head coach P. J. Carlesimo.

Carlesimo took over the reigns of the Nets in their opening season at the Barclays Center after the team fired Avery Johnson on December 28. Brooklyn went just 3-10 in the final month of 2012 under Johnson. After assisting Johnson, Carlesimo came into the head coaching role and let his players play freely and their natural games. Brooklyn responded and finished the rest of the season 35-19.

Brooklyn’s improvement under PJ wasn’t completely due to his stellar coaching. A significant portion of Brooklyn’s success over the last 54 games was because the Nets finally got healthy and Deron Williams suddenly played the final 50 games of the season like a franchise point guard.

Still, Carlesimo does deserve some of the credit for the Net’s turn around and with the 76ers currently in need of a turn-around of epic proportions, shouldn’t Josh Harris, Adam Aron and Tony DiLeo at least explore the option of bringing in Carlesimo to fill the head coaching vacancy?

WHEELING & DEALING

Few could have imagined the season turned out the way it did. The 76ers were supposed to be this, that and the other thing. What came to pass was the realization that this past summer was one of the uglier summers in NBA history.

Now the Sixers are a team left with holes larger than just the void in the middle cause by Andrew Bynum’s knees. As I have mentioned ad nauseum, the 76ers are in a very bad place going forward with no clear path to anything.

After the jump, are some trade possibilities that can be a change for the better next year or the long run. The premise is to do all of these trades or none at all. Part 1 will be for the future, “Hello, 25% shot at Andrew Wiggins and the return of the Anti-Gravity Treadmill”. Part 2 will assume the future is now

On last note, while the ESPN.com trade machine says the salaries don’t work, once Jrue’s $9.2 million salary kicks in, these trades would work.

FORMER SIXERS UNITE

How good would a team comprised of former 76ers players currently active in the NBA be?

It’s an interesting question in what has been an interesting season to say the least. So, let’s take a look at the possibilities.

We will use the current salaries of every player and keep under $60,000,000. Elton Brand will not be included because he was amnestied and would prefer jail in Siberia to being on a hypothetical former 76ers roster. Each player would essentially be a clone of himself and injuries are a part of things in this exercise.

Head Coach: Aaron McKie

Asst Coach: Eric Snow

PG: Lou Williams, Andre Miller; $10,000,000

SG: Thabo Sefolosha, Kyle Korver, Jodie Meeks; $10,100,000

SF: Andre Iguodala, Matt Barnes, Mo Harkless; $17,900,000

PF: Marreese Speights, Reggie Evans; $5,800,000

C: Nik Vucevic, Samuel Dalembert; $8,400,000

Philadelphia 76ers

	Thaddeus Young, SF 33 MIN \| 5-11 FG \| 4-6 FT \| 9 REB \| 4 AST \| 3 STL \| 0 BLK \| 2 TO \| 14 PTS \| +22Another game, more hustle and effectiveness out of Thad. This guy just competes every single night and every single play. While he’s undersized at the PF, his heart lets him play like he’s three inches taller. This guy should be a starter in Philadelphia until he retires.
	Evan Turner, SF 31 MIN \| 3-10 FG \| 0-0 FT \| 6 REB \| 4 AST \| 0 STL \| 1 BLK \| 1 TO \| 7 PTS \| +18Turner did a great job rebounding the ball today, but he again put up another dreadful shooting performance. At this point of the season, you would think Turner would be balling out to try and spark a contract extension discussion. But, that’s just not happening.
	Spencer Hawes, C 36 MIN \| 6-11 FG \| 1-2 FT \| 5 REB \| 6 AST \| 2 STL \| 4 BLK \| 2 TO \| 14 PTS \| +20Spence had a solid game offensively, but he was seemingly nowhere to be found on the glass. Of the 76ers’ 39 team rebounds, Hawes only had 5 and he’s by far the tallest on the roster.
	Jrue Holiday, PG 32 MIN \| 6-17 FG \| 1-1 FT \| 5 REB \| 4 AST \| 1 STL \| 0 BLK \| 2 TO \| 14 PTS \| +21Jrue continues to struggle shooting the ball, but I’m giving him an A+ for being the only Sixer to recognize the need to tank! With each missed shot, it’s as if Jrue is screaming, “I need some help! Give me a high pick!”
	Damien Wilkins, SG 30 MIN \| 5-9 FG \| 0-0 FT \| 4 REB \| 2 AST \| 1 STL \| 0 BLK \| 0 TO \| 11 PTS \| +10At 33 years old, for Wilkins to go out and play 30 min, shoot 56.5 percent from the field and hit the glass is phenomenal. We all know this Sixers team needs a veteran locker room presence with their large crop of young players. Adam Aron should really think about retaining this savvy vet.
	Arnett Moultrie, PF 24 MIN \| 5-6 FG \| 0-0 FT \| 6 REB \| 0 AST \| 0 STL \| 0 BLK \| 3 TO \| 10 PTS \| -10With more minutes comes more production from Moultrie. This young man knows how to play around the basket and plays hard. He had three offensive rebounds and also was extremely efficient. But, he does need to keep the turnovers down.
	Dorell Wright, SF 25 MIN \| 6-13 FG \| 0-0 FT \| 2 REB \| 4 AST \| 1 STL \| 1 BLK \| 1 TO \| 15 PTS \| -4Is Wright playing for a new contract? Over his last five games, the sharpshooter is averaging 11.8 points and 4.3 rebounds per game — both well above his season averages. This team needs efficient role players and he could potentially be one.
	Lavoy Allen, C 4 MIN \| 0-2 FG \| 0-0 FT \| 1 REB \| 0 AST \| 0 STL \| 1 BLK \| 0 TO \| 0 PTS \| -4He said he didn’t learn anything during his first two seasons under Doug Collins. Maybe he learned something while he was sitting on the bench.
	Justin Holiday, SG 26 MIN \| 2-7 FG \| 1-2 FT \| 1 REB \| 3 AST \| 1 STL \| 2 BLK \| 1 TO \| 6 PTS \| -3Justin went out there and had fun. You can tell he’s trying to make the most of his opportunity with this franchise and he’s bringing great energy. That’s all you could ask for from a guy in his situation.
	Kwame Brown, C DNP COACH’S DECISION MIN \| FG \| FT \| REB \| AST \| STL \| BLK \| TO \| PTS \| Great hustle out there, big guy!
	Charles Jenkins, PG DNP COACH’S DECISION MIN \| FG \| FT \| REB \| AST \| STL \| BLK \| TO \| PTS \| In a blowout game this late in the season, you would have liked to see Jenkins get some run here. But this is clearly a Holiday town.
	Royal Ivey, PG DNP COACH’S DECISION MIN \| FG \| FT \| REB \| AST \| STL \| BLK \| TO \| PTS \| Ivey has now played 3 minutes in the past 4 games. He’s come along way from throwing the game-ending turnover against Milwaukee back in February.
	Nick Young, SG DNP COACH’S DECISION MIN \| FG \| FT \| REB \| AST \| STL \| BLK \| TO \| PTS \| Swaggy P has just dealt with injuries all season long. Hopefully he can get healthy over this summer and prove to another team he’s worthy of a contract.
	Doug Collins He played both Moultrie and Holiday (the younger half) for at least half of the game. He also has handled the pressure and rumors of his fate with this team very well. For that, I’m giving old Collins his first A from me…. ever.

IS the WIZ’S FUTURE BRIGHTER??

Posted by: Steve Toll
04/12/13 5:22 pm EST

Heading into tonight’s game, the 76ers face a Washington Wizards team that has a similar record and future outlook going forward, if you are only looking at things on the surface.

As you peek down the rabbit hole, that judgement seems wrong. It also depends on how you are looking at things as well as your opinion on what you want out of a bright future.

Since it seems obvious that the 76ers aren’t going to tank in 2013-14 for Wiggins, there is no doubt that Washington is right now in a better place than the 76ers.

AN EYE ON J-SMOOVE

Posted by: Jake Fischer
04/05/13 1:53 pm EST

When the 76ers and the Atlanta Hawks square off in Phillips Arena tonight, the Sixers organization and Philadunkia nation will have their second to last view of Hawks forward Josh Smith before he hits free agency. Ironically enough, the skill set that Smith possess which makes him an attractive free agent prospect for the Sixers makes him a dangerous opponent this evening.

While Spencer Hawes has been very productive as of late for head coach Doug Collins, defensively, he will likely be taken out of the game by Atlanta center Al Horford’s size and skill. With that in mind, Thad Young, Lavoy Allen and sometimes Arnett Moultrie will be left to cover the polarizing Smith.

Unfortunately for Collins, Smith is a mismatch for all three of those bigs.

It’s especially impressive that it came on the 2nd night of a road, then home back-to-back set and that it was an efficient shooting night on a rough schedule. His 4 straight points in the 4th Q were huge.
	Evan Turner, SF 39 MIN \| 6-18 FG \| 3-4 FT \| 7 REB \| 4 AST \| 0 STL \| 0 BLK \| 1 TO \| 16 PTS \| +7 This was a much better night for “The Enigma”, but still far from great. 16 points on 18 FGAs is not an efficient night and 1-5 from deep is not good. He also made several plays in the 4th Q, including a FT lane violation and an ill-advised jumper early in the shot clock, that made me cringe. However, he had a decent 1st Q and the 3-pointer he buried in the 4th Q was clutch. Plus the board he grabbed at :48 mark of the 4th was key to sealing the win.
	Spencer Hawes, C 34 MIN \| 10-15 FG \| 4-6 FT \| 10 REB \| 7 AST \| 0 STL \| 2 BLK \| 1 TO \| 24 PTS \| +5 I have said this numerous times over the 2012-13 season…It’s really a shame that Hawes is sooo bad defensively. Lopez absolutely killed Spencer last night, especially in the 1st Q (14 pts.) and that happens too often for me. I don’t love his “soft” offensive game and some of his decisions, but when Spence decides he wants to play, there is no doubt he can score the ball. Like in the 3rd Q when he went off for 10 points. He also threw in a block during the 3rd Q. If he could just give us 14 & 10 every night, this team would be a lot better.
	Jrue Holiday, PG 38 MIN \| 4-8 FG \| 6-8 FT \| 0 REB \| 11 AST \| 1 STL \| 0 BLK \| 1 TO \| 15 PTS \| +1 It was obvious that Holiday chose to get others involved early on in this one and then picked his spots to score. Hopefully this is the end of his shooting slump. He did a great job on penetrating the Nets defense in the 4th Q. FYI…including last night Jrue has attempted 8 or more FTs in a game only 4 times this season.
	Damien Wilkins, SG 26 MIN \| 5-8 FG \| 1-1 FT \| 0 REB \| 2 AST \| 0 STL \| 2 BLK \| 1 TO \| 13 PTS \| +1 I tip my hat to Wilkins for his recent stretch of stellar play and the block he had on Lopez last night was tremendous. However I ask you, “What good does it do the Sixers to give a 9 year veteran who likely won’t be on the roster next year 26 minutes in a lost season?”
	Arnett Moultrie, PF 10 MIN \| 1-3 FG \| 0-0 FT \| 2 REB \| 0 AST \| 0 STL \| 0 BLK \| 0 TO \| 2 PTS \| +1 A great dive to the rim by #5 in the early 2nd Q for a hoop earned him nothing in the minutes department. Someone needs to have a talk with coach.
	Dorell Wright, SF 20 MIN \| 6-10 FG \| 0-0 FT \| 1 REB \| 2 AST \| 1 STL \| 0 BLK \| 2 TO \| 15 PTS \| +6 A very nice 2nd Q by Wright — 13 pts. & a charge drawn — helped the Sixers grab the lead in this one. So where was he for the rest of the game and where has Wright been for most of the season?
	Lavoy Allen, C 15 MIN \| 1-2 FG \| 0-0 FT \| 2 REB \| 0 AST \| 0 STL \| 0 BLK \| 0 TO \| 2 PTS \| +7 Given that I expected him to receive a DNP-CD last night, Allen played well in his limited run.
	Charles Jenkins, PG 15 MIN \| 0-2 FG \| 0-0 FT \| 2 REB \| 2 AST \| 1 STL \| 0 BLK \| 0 TO \| 0 PTS \| +7 Jenkins took two awful 18+ foot jumpers in the 2nd Q. I threw the remote after his second FGA and cried out for Pargo.
	Royal Ivey, PG 7 MIN \| 1-1 FG \| 0-0 FT \| 1 REB \| 0 AST \| 1 STL \| 0 BLK \| 0 TO \| 3 PTS \| +5 7 minutes well played.
	Kwame Brown, C DNP COACH’S DECISION MIN \| FG \| FT \| REB \| AST \| STL \| BLK \| TO \| PTS \| Did he make it back from Florida?

	Doug Collins I’m sorry, I know the Sixers got the W last night and that’s great (sort of), but this season is over and Collins needs to get on board with playing the kids who could possibly be on this roster next year. No offense to Ivey and Wilkins because they are playing well, but they need to take a seat.

TANK x 2

This is a stone cold fact: Every win the 76ers bring home over these last 20 games of this year and into the 2013-14 season is a net negative, at least until they have secured the worst record in the NBA.

The new CBA has changed the landscape of the NBA. James Harden and the most recent trade deadline are obvious products of that fact. The 76ers seem to be a team oblivious to that fact. It is why I hated the Bynum trade when it happened and has hilariously turned into the best case scenario for the 76ers. The lottery is where the 76ers MUST be this year and next, or people in the area might as well not turn on a game for the next 5 years.

Critics of mine will argue that the BCS of the Bynum trade was/is an NBA Championship. Truth is, I have a better shot of being the next GM of the 76ers than Bynum does of leading this team to championship glory. The average team in the NBA Finals wins about 57 regular season games, give or take. Nobody should argue that the 76ers are close to that level even with a healthy Bynum in the lineup.

	Thaddeus Young, SF 33 MIN \| 5-11 FG \| 4-6 FT \| 9 REB \| 4 AST \| 3 STL \| 0 BLK \| 2 TO \| 14 PTS \| +22Another game, more hustle and effectiveness out of Thad.
