Inserts a #process post in a Kings-Pelicans trade discussion.
Complains that we are talking about the #process.

hinkie wanted zingis
guess I was wrong...
As sixers fans, how do you feel about your franchise relative to these other franchises that found themselves in a similar situation as the Sixers pre-hinkie (mediocre with no superstar and no realistic chance to sign a top 15 player in free agency) during a similar time period?:
Bucks
Pistons
Hornets
Jazz
Suns
Nuggets
Not a sixers fan, only Hinkie, but quite clearly the best future of this bunch. The sixers have by far the best future of any not currently elite team.

I'd take the Bucks for sure and maybe the Nuggets. I'd certainly take Giannis and Jokic over Embiid to build a franchise around.

Interestingly I find the righteous indignation from outsiders on behalf of non-fans to dwarf the actually anger of fans. Most (not all) Sixers' fans recognized this was a preferable route to the fight for a 7/8 seed in perpetuity path that they were on. Enthusiasm is high, and it was 3 years. I'm not a huge Colangelo fan so I am skeptical about that, but I'm very happy with the track (and I actually think the team is fun to watch this year - last year was a mess).
The person asked which franchise is best positioned. That answer is the Sixers, clearly. We don't need to get into if the lean years were worth it, that's been discussed a million times.
Also quite hilarious with the haters like "one potential star who is injured all the time." Okay maybe, but Embiid has a good chunk of equity to be the stone cold #1 player in the NBA in a few years. You guys can take KAT or whatever and I'll roll the dice with the higher ceiling.
You'd be making a mistake. This top 10 in this year's draft is too loaded.
For the 22 and unders, Giannis > Embiid > Joker > KAT for me. But the Bucks don't have enough else going on to have a better outlook than Philly
