It’s really not that complicated. I’m saying Philly has failed spectacularly
2nd round ceiling after multiple years of blatant tanking. Nice
Teams have been tanking like the Sixers did for years and had a lot less success, that's nothing new. The only difference is the Sixers were more public and open about it, and Hinkie was just straight up honest with people about it lmao (which is why it cost him his job). A big market team not making money was a problem so the league had to intervene.
76ers went from a 10 win team in 2015-16, to a 52 win team in 2017-18. In the past 4 years they've won 50+ games in 3 of them, and they've achieved the #3 seed twice and the #1 seed once.
The process was undeniably a success, even with some major flops at top picks and terrible management in the years to follow Hinkie (Colangelo). They're in a great spot right now and for years to come and much of that is because of what Hinkie did in those 3 years. Thankfully we have a competent front office guy running the show now in Morey and not Colangelo anymore.
