Sometimes things have to break, before you can fix it, but that is no guarantee here in Philly!

I agree johnny, blow the roof off, cause they have been stuck in stall for years, trade/dump big salaries, throw the season, get the best players in the draft. As Bob dylan said..when you got nothing, you’ve got nothing to lose! And my friends our once beloved 76′ers have NOTHING! Iguodala see ya! or he’s your #3 scorer and trade brand for some picks and retire AI. Then go out and spend money on an experience coach with a winning track record!

i feel like a sap saying this, but in order for this team to get to a championship caliber team, they MUST implode and lose out! They desperately need a VERY HIGH 1st, 2nd or 3rd pick in the first round. Trade Brand who DOES NOT fit this team. Give Allen the biggest retirement party ever that he deserves at the end of the season and move on! Enough of this 8th seed crap already!

neither does continuing to go to andre iguodala as your #1 scoring option. You need to get rid of some of the bad contracts so you can acquire a franchise type player. You can’t win without one in the nba right now.

How are they acquiring a great shooting guard without trading away some of the awful contracts, aka “blowing up” this team. They have no cap room.

Blowing it up guarantees nothing.

The Sixers NEED a lottery pick to turn this franchise around. That’s what happened when they drafted Iverson out of Georgetown. It changed the trajectory of the franchise for a little while. In the NBA, one player CAN make a team. Reference LeBron James, Kobe Bryant, Dwight Howard, et al.

I’d liketo see nothing better than a Sixer Championship after watching them ever since they moved here from Syracuse. Many say they will have to “blow it up” to get to be a contender. Unfortunately. There are few examples to support this. The data shows that you have to have great players- at least one star; Many teams have drafted at the top of the list, but won nothing and have not even contended for a championship. People cite Cleveland as an example. This might be the year, but they haven’t won anything yet. Portland selected Oden, but he can’t stay on the court. In truth, you have to get “lucky” in the draft. Greatplayers usually come from the top 5, but not always and the key point is that the majority of top 5 picks don’t become great players. It’s a crapshoot. The Sixers could contend if you added a great shooting guard- they need one player. If they “Blow it up”, it will be 10 or more years before they find a star and then assemble a supporting cast as good as the present one .

So refreshing to see a Sixers post or something other than the Phillies or Eagles boneheaded moves.
