Whether or not Simmons actually is a star is irrelevant to whether the process worked. The point was to get players like Simmons (consensus 1.1s). Process is over. It worked. Now it's player development and injury luck and finding supporting players. But that is different and normal and mundane . That can still fail.

Please remind me that the process worked after our 4th straight year of 2nd round playoff exits. Also lol at KD.

Spacebump posted:If the Mavs had paid Parsons instead of Barnes, they would have been blown out instead of losing in OT. Barnes had a good but not great game and his basket to send it to OT was sweet. I like how Parsons plays but it should be troubling that he is on a max deal and went from could be back in round 2 of the playoffs to missing opening night months later. A bit late on my reply, but thanks for the insight. Yeah Parsons have really had some bad injury luck and it could be pretty cool if Barnes panned out. It might be the angle/lighting, but man Rondo looks more buff than usual:

Obviously it's only two games but I'm pretty concerned with Aldridge. His defensive effort seems pretty spotty at best. Gasol hasn't been good defensively but I expect him to improve, it seems like he's having a lot of communication issues. Aldridge just looks lazy at times. That's my hot take. He's going to be traded for AD and the Spurs aren't going to lose another game.

Gasol hasn't been good defensively but I expect him to improve, it seems like he's having a lot of communication issues. Aldridge just looks lazy at times. Aldrige is a sneaky good defender. He isn't going to coming leaping in on the weak side or anything but he rebounds really well, he doesn't commit fouls (a hugely underrated aspect to defending) and he generally keeps position. He is a good "Bend, don't break" defender. That said, I do think the Spurs frontcourt will suffer against teams that move the ball and try to make opposing frontcourts stay super mobile. In theory when both Kawhi and Green are out there it should be fine. Aldridge's DRPM has always been good (not great, but good) even before he landed on the Spurs.

The goal to the process was how to transform the roster that was garbage post Bynum into one with superstar assets ( because super stars win in the NBA). This is what happened. Whether they actually turn into superstars is just regular team building . The Sixers are a normal team now.

euphronius posted:The goal of every team is to win . I feel like people are arguing in circles. Obviously "The Process" was an attempt to get high draft picks and keep as many players early on rookie contracts as possible. I think, also obviously, other GMs probably won't do it again because for better or worse Hinkie lost his job. It's a thing they did, I think they are pretty happy with where they are now, I don't think anyone is going to do it again because GMs like their jobs.

This is probably just a bunch of premature stuff but he just doesn't look as focused right now. Lee has been pretty surprising, actually. I know I'm just blowing a tiny sample size out of proportion. Pretty happy with Kyle Anderson's play too. I'm hoping the Spurs just had a little come down versus the Kings because they did not look particularly good.

Fast Luck posted:No, because he didn't get pushed out because the pieces didn't fit. He got pushed out because parts of ownership got shook and the league applied pressure. Porzingis would've been a really really good fit to have, but from what I've heard ownership actually was against picking him although Hinkie was interested. Zingis avoided the 76ers like LeBron's avoiding Khloe Kardashian.
