http://www.yardbarker.com/nba/teams/philadelphia_76ers/66 Recent articles about Philadelphia 76ers en-us via Sixers Dish Centers are like high-risk stock in the NBA. Their value changes rapidly, and they can make your team a sudden contender or blow you right into rebuilding mode. Andrew Bynum developed into a top 5 center in the NBA at a very young age, and became an integral part of the Lakers’ back to back title run. However, nagging injuries and episodes of instability have made Bynum a beast of burden for the Sixers, physically and financially.  The Sixers front office is looking for the “undo’ button..but there is none.   per Sixers Dish   With a quizzical look on his face, Josh Harris tried to understand the question being lobbed his way. And find a way to answer it. The query was about Andrew Bynum, so Harris had to approach this one delicately. Harris was being asked whether there was anything the Sixers could reclaim from the Bynum situation, the one in which they spent $16.5 million for zero minutes played from the big man. “Sunk cost,” Harris said. “That’s all sunk cost....

One of the main reasons for the Sixers disappointing season was the season-long injury to star center Andrew Bynum. Bynum, who was acquired by the Sixers in the four-team Dwight Howard trade, has been criticized widely for his carefree attitude on and off the court. Many have since questioned the Sixers decision to make the trade for Bynum, and new GM Sam Hinkie agrees that not only the criticism is legitimate, but even told the Philadelphia media it is fair to call the Bynum trade ‘a failure’: Here is a tweet courtesy of BleacherReport from Christopher Vito, who covers the Sixers for the Delaware County Daily Times   Hinkie said it’s fair to call the Sixers’ trade for Andrew Bynum “a failure.” — Christopher A.

A member of the All-NBA Second Team, the 7-foot, 285 pound Bynum averaged 18.7 points and 11.8 rebounds over 60 games in 2012.

Hinkie will replace Tony DiLeo with the 76ers and assume full control of basketball operations. Hinkie is a big believer in basketball analytics, a movement in the NBA that has been embraced big-time by the Houston Rockets. Sam Hinkie believes strongly in the new movement which emphasizes analytic efforts, using data to improve decision-making in the draft, free agency, trades, and game strategy. Hinkie will provide day-to-day management of basketball operations, manages the team’s salary cap. Hinkie also places great value in the Developmental League.

The person spoke Friday on condition of anonymity because the deal is not official. Hinkie, a former Houston Rockets assistant general manager, was the top choice by owner Joshua Harris to oversee the rebuilding of the beleaguered franchise. Tony DiLeo is out after one full season as Sixers general manager. He was with the organization for 22 years, and was widely credited - and now blamed - for orchestrating the botched deal for center Andrew Bynum. Hinkie must now hire a coach after Doug Collins resigned following three seasons. Philadelphia went to the playoffs in Collins' first two seasons, and advanced to the Eastern Conference semifinals last season. But with Bynum injured all season, the 76ers stumbled to a 34-48 finish this season. Collins has remained with the franchise as an adviser, and has one year left on his original four-year deal worth $4.5 Fri, 10 May 2013 18:04:46 -0400 http://network.yardbarker.com/nba/article_external/report_76ers_hire_hinkie_as_prez_gm/13592834 http://network.yardbarker.com/nba/article_external/report_76ers_hire_hinkie_as_prez_gm/13592834 Report: 76ers hire Hinkie as prez, GM http://www.yardbarker.com/nba/articles/report_76ers_hire_hinkie_as_prez_gm/13592834 http://www.yardbarker.com/media/a/e/ae9e9031b5a04ab8a298d935cc9311ddf389d12f/mini/6853876.jpg Jrue Holiday has recommended the Philadelphia 76ers hire Michael Curry as head coach. Curry has been associate head coach of the 76ers, where he has been largely responsible for Holiday's development. "I've known him for the last three years," Holiday said Wednesday. "He's somebody I trust, and somebody I'd love as a head coach." Curry often served as a communicator between Doug Collins and the players. "I think he was the glue to our team last year," Holiday said of Curry. "Obviously we were defensive-based, which is big for us. That was our calling card, and Mike was responsible for that." Evan Turner also would like to see Curry get consideration. "We really don't have a lot of room to start all over again when you look at us," said Turner. "I think it would be great for the organization. We respect Mike." Curry was head coach of the Detroit Pistons for one season.

It is generating some solid conversation, so I figured I should share with ATA.--"The enigma” seems to be a fitting nickname for Evan Turner, because after three seasons with the 76ers it is still difficult for the franchise and its fans to figure him out. Despite displaying flashes of excellence, including his 2012 playoff performance, Turner has struggled to fit in and find a role with the team. In three NBA season he has been a consistent starter and has also been relegated to a reserve, and this fluctuation has been extremely frustrating. It seems that as far as the fan base is concerned, Turner has run out of time. The results of Philly.com's Sixers Stay or Go survey illustrated that the majority of fans feel it is finally time to trade Turner, and the respondents may be right.

But just because he’s physically incapable of playing basketball, it doesn’t mean he’s physically incapable of salsa dancing, right? Bynum was recently seen dancing at some sort of club in Madrid, Spain, showing off his surprisingly nimble moves. He’s also wearing a jacket with the Ferrari logo on the back, which is probably some sort of fashion misstep. In any case, Bynum shows no ill effects of the knee injuries which kept him sidelined all year — which is sure to draw the ire of some Philly fans — so check out the image and video below to see the big center in action.

Legendary Sixer, Julius Erving, weighs in. “But I think if he’s not here you are going to free up a lot of money and money talks in the NBA,”Erving said.“Washington and Lincoln can’t play the corners for you but they can get you somebody that can play the corners. We need somebody to play the corner and the middle for us. It’s going to be costly but the Bynum situation is going to be one of total uncertainty for another year.” Erving’s vote looks to be casted, and like many fans in Philadelphia, he looks forward to a Bynum-less future in the city of brotherly love. Jrue Holiday and company offer the 76ers an opportunity to build with youth, although keeping names like Nikola Vucevic and Moe Harlkess would have been ideal for this type of situation.
