Trading for butler and him walking was the nail in the coffin. They had it befor that


they didn't "let" him walk. He didnt want to play with the Sixers.

Instead they gave a guy named Tobias Harris a mega contract despite being with 5 previous teams, none of which wanted him long term.

He is a cancer on the court.

"The process" worked, as I've said a million times. What Hinkie did worked great, the Sixers were loaded and in as good position as any team in the league. That was the point of it all, to reload and give them an identity.

Its the decisions from management that took over once Hinkie was forced out that started to slowly burn everything.

So "The process" was about becoming a treadmill team? Ok makes sense now. I thought it was about bringing a chip back to Philly.

It put them in a position they could be a championship team if they made the right decisions, up to this point they've made a few bad ones that have been the difference between a championship contender and what they are now.

This.

The process gave the Sixers everything they needed to be a contender. Multiple All-Star franchise players (something they lacked before), flush with draft picks and a destination that players would want to play for.

All in all it worked, and did exactly what Hinkie set out to do. There's a reason the NBA forced him out AND changed the draft lottery format because of the Sixers. Its because Hinkie took the opportunity to tank and did it better and smarter than teams have done before, they were open about it. If the NBA did not step in and make changes other teams were going to follow suit (as they were already doing). It's bad for the league because its bad for revenue.

So when people say "the process" failed they couldn't be any more wrong lol. That changed over when Hinkie was forced out before he could finish his 4 year plan, and management since then has failed to fully utilize the pieces they gained during Hinkie's time as GM. Despite this the Sixers still have one of the more talented rosters around the league, its just a strange fit and now its a matter of finding a coach that can make it work.

Bruh, you guys drafted and traded fultz, noel, okafor for practically nothing and also in the "process" ruined their career.

You guys also didnt draft mpj? Like seriously. All that talk about drafting talent and "injury value" and they pass on mpj lmaooo.

Boston, raptors, heat, bucks didnt have to tank for 20 years to be contenders rofl.
