Message: [QUOTE="Walker11, post: 2421509, member: 380"] Your hate for Philly is real. I hated the process as well but IMO it worked out terrifically. To win a ship you need a top 5 talent and Embiid looks the part. As for development guys, look at Covington. Highly valuable player and they just locked him up at a very favorable rate. And they still have intriguing assets like the LAL/SAC pick. You can argue that Embiid is a wildcard and that's fair. You can point to Okafor but Hinkie's premise was that it is extremely hard to predict draft picks so you should aquire as many as possible. Noel was a misstep, no doubt. But they have an very high ceiling and I see no reason to judge the organization as low quality. Look at what vets like Brand had to say about the professionalism of the operation, even during the most trying of times. [/QUOTE]
