straight up brolic posted:well then you're buying into being actively terrible for 5 years as a strategy, which no owner would sign up for. They literally refused to sign a pg last year on purpose to get Simmons . It worked.

They had vets they had no point guards. That's how you tank. Have no point guard in the NBA.

Tony wroten came back healthy and lost his jobs to Ghost Roster Spot in December on team that won 10 games Marshall lost his job to an Extra from the movie the Hoosiers.

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.

MourningView posted:"Consensus" is kinda pushing it. He was consensus top 2 in a draft no one liked. And also that other stuff is important! One of the criticism of The Process is that it can "work" in the "getting high draft picks" sense without actually working in terms of "getting great players who contribute to a winning team" sense, which is presumably the actual goal The goal of every team is to win . 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.

Best strategy to win a ring still seems to get three really good players and a versatile bench. Bored sports bloggers talk a lot about a certain style taking over the league but I see teams playing lots of styles every night and in the playoffs. You have to be versatile and have dudes who can win one on one matchups.
