Below is a list of the draft picks the 76ers made during the tank process....
Out of the below list --- two play for Philadelphia currently - one is a bit/role player in Korkmaz , the other is Embiid
Most of these picks never panned out to be anything even closely resembling a useful basketball player
Worst of all is 9 years later --- despite all the picks - they've never made it out of the second round of the playoffs
Quote
"The Sixers swung and missed far more than they succeeded over the eventful last four seasons. Fultz was a disaster, and so was Okafor. Simmons, while an All-Star and All-NBA defender, may be ill-suited for a max contract and second fiddle status on a contending team.
An injury to Embiid — one that plummeted his draft stock just enough for the Sixers to gamble on him at third-overall back in 2014 — is probably the only thing Process advocates can hang their hats on. Nearly every subsequent draft pick and big time transaction did not succeed or was shipped out of town for one reason or another.
While the right pieces around Embiid, like Tyrese Maxey and Matisse Thybulle, could set the Sixers up for playoff runs for years to come — and perhaps the right Morey moves to flank those three pieces in subsequent seasons may get the Sixers over the hump — the team admitting that Simmons, the No. 1 overall pick the year after the 10-72 humiliation, is a failure all but assures The Process will not be remembered as a success."
Elfrid Payton - Bust/shit
Michael Carter-Williams - Bust/shit
Joel Embiid - Injury prone flopping choke artist
Jahlil Okafor Bust/Shit
Ben Simmons - Not even sure what Philly did to break this human this badly
Markelle Fultz - Bust/Shit
I believe it was Sean daddy who said, the plan was to build a perennial contender ....
Homie your dogshit franchise can't even sniff the Conference Finals much less be a "Perennial Contender" for the Chip
But it's all love <3 I just enjoy shitting on your team

Bro they are fighting for first with 5 games left in the season going into a playoffs where they are near the top of the betting to win it all this year. Based on right this second. That is a success.
If they get to a Finals I will call that a win. If they achieve The Indiana Pacers in 2000 or the Knicks in 1999 that means Embiid can still be as good as Miller/Ewing and that would be success for Philly IMO.
I want them to win it though. But right now with where they are, coming through all this Drama. The Process is 100% a success. And again, if they can get to a finals and not get swept then I would say the process achieved enough.

It still could be a success but I think they need to channel their inner Masai and make a very daring trade. Something like Harden + Maxey for Beal + ?
If they stay on course maxing Harden it is headed for disaster IMHO. They’d peak at maybe ECF or Finals but never win it all in the next few years then be stuck paying max money to a Westbrick type player
The fuck are you talking about Morey just pulled off the best trade Since the Kawhi summer 2018. Actually probably one of the best trades in NBA history ngl.
They don't need a daring trade they literally just pulled off the best trade in 2 fucking years in the NBA.
If you really think about it Morey fucked the entire league and world with that trade. In a world of UnevilManiacs Daryl Morey Traded a primadonna 200 million dollar paper weight with Herniated discs for James Fucking Harden. mLIKE HELLO? DO YOU WATCH BASKETBALL??

Yes, obviously they have their flaws, but the talent is there, which is what the process was all about

They’re a championship contender that hasn’t shown the ability to overcome their backs against the wall. Harden, Embiid, Maxey, Tobias, etc none of their main core have ever displayed that playoff grit to pull out a series win with their backs against the wall. It absolutely doesn’t help that their coach embodies that. Doc got one title with the first super team of this era but they basically cruised to the finish line. That being said there is always a fresh start when the playoffs begin
Calm down mr "We have the literal Super Human for basketball on my fucking Shit ass Cream State team so my opinion matters". No. Giannis is the exception to every rukle in basketball. You being a Bucks fan instatntly nulls you of your opinions on anything regarding basketball and what other teams have achieved.
