by

What do you do when you are a GM and are underwhelmed by the options for the top pick?  For an object lesson on what not to do, let’s turn back time to the 1986 draft and talk about the dilemma faced by the 76ers.  This draft is best remembered for the tragic death of second pick Len Bias of a drug overdose the night after the draft.  That sad story has been well told but, before the draft, the big story was what Philly would do with the top overall pick.  Let’s review this … [Read more...] about Revisiting Philly’s Roy Hinson/Brad Daugherty Trade
