Lol, were they Phoenix all-star jerseys? Looks like it.

Has the NBA made a decent all-star jersey in the last 20 years? May have an idea who is supplying them...
Yeah they are.

Haha yeah they sure don't have a good strike rate with them in recent years. 2011 was probably the best recent one in my opinion. Simple doesn't try to hard, doesn't have mother******* sleeves.



Would like to see them try the own team jersey's in home and away flavour again to be honest.

Maybe Washington if Pierce & Porter can replace Ariza's output. Their depth is much better than it was 12 months ago.

I thought they should have won 50 games last season, their playoff performances bore that out.
I think they are the best of the rest, but not a serious challenger. Would do well to force Cleveland to 6 in a series.

It's probably the most blatant example of tanking in sports history.

Imagine the outcry here if Carlton did that.
There were tears over here when Carlton kept finishing bottom of the ladder though...

Tears of laughter ;)

Hey Bennett could actually put up some good numbers this year (on the stat-sheet, not the scale)

I predict 16 and 10

Yeah then tears of anger when we went up the ladder temporarily. :drunk:

Good luck to the Sixers if it works I guess. But gee, they're another franchise going in circles since their star left. While I never thought that Holiday, Turner, Young, Hawes etc would get them a title, I thought they would at least try to build around Holiday and Turner. Turner impressed me in the 2012 playoffs but never went anywhere.

Holiday, Turner, Iggy, Vucevic and Young versus Embiid, Bennett, Noel and Carter-Williams. Look obviously they didn't know what they had in Vucevic so we'll ignore him. I doubt Carter-Williams will come close to challenging a healthy Jrue Holiday, but I think Philly are definitely big winners in the long term with their big men, and in particular, Embiid and Noel. If both stay healthy and live up to the hype they could make Philly very formidable. If they don't work as a duo I'm sure they could land something worthwhile.

So they've basically taken a high risk, high reward approach over the same old low risk, low reward approach that surely would have left them treading water like Atlanta did with Joe Johnson and Josh Smith. I voiced my displeasure at teams treading water a month or so ago, so I won't criticise Philly. It's just blatant that's all. :p
