PHILADELPHIA (CBS) --- Sixers fans created #RTArmageddon on Monday, as fans began retweeting old anti-Sam Hinkie takes when the team announced their trade for the No. 1 overall pick.

The best moment came on Monday evening, when Sixers center Joel Embiid got into the act, retweeting 94WIP's Howard Eskin.
Eskin, of course, responded.

And u have played meaningful minutes, but not enough. #sixers need u playing 70 games to win championship and more than 30 mins to win title https://t.co/tv2gIFw2jh

I will buy Shirley temples for @JoelEmbiid for a full season if he plans 70 games this season. I'm rooting for him. https://t.co/5dngxdaaYm

Eskin has been a Hinkie basher over the past five years, but supports new GM Bryan Colangelo. He joined the 94WIP Morning Show on Tuesday morning calling Hinkie fans "such pathetic losers."
