Official 2020 NBA Offseason - First Half Season Schedule Out

Seems like a lotta coaches wanna coach the Sixers, MDA/Donovan
 
Jokic has been the best guy on the floor this quarter
 
It's becoming clear that there's no unconventional front office or coaching strategy that will win NBA championships. Just need to draft and acquire the best players possible and the coaches need to put them in the best position to win. Keep doing that and you'll be a contender. Tanking like the Sixers or going all-in on small ball are just gimmicks.

Well this is the first year without a complete superteam in how many years? The whole cap fluke to get Durant to GSW and the whole Bosh/Wade/Lebron signings basically made the league relatively uncompetitive for a decade.

This seems like a bad gloss on the Process, imo.
 
The Process worked, but so did other rebuilding projects.
 
The Process worked if the goal was to not be the Hornets. The Process didn't work if the goal was to contend for a championship.

They purposefully didn't compete for four seasons and what do they have to show for it? Two EC semis and getting swept in the 1st round.

The process got interrupted by a dude who had a burner account to argue with twitter trolls who thought it might not be a good idea to go all in on Tobias Harris.
 
One of the stranger arguments is that the front office people who mastered losing on purpose didn't get a chance to try to win.

They took the champs to a game 7 and it took one of the most iconic shots in league history to beat them at the buzzer. Fairly safe to say they succeeded in contending for a championship.

So four seasons of losing on purpose to get close to making the EC Finals that one time. Gotcha.

Who was put in place by an NBA lead coup that resulted in Hinkie being fired

Their two best players are 26 and 24, the latter of which didn't play in this post season, and it seems like half the coaches in the league are quitting their jobs to try and coach them. Seems like it's a bit early to call this one.

A new ownership group that went all in to get Jimmy Butler, then followed up losing him due to lack of structure so he went to go lead a buncha white rookies to the ECF.

i agree the process was successful and blown up by ownership prematurely

but now that we've seen the ceiling of this team as a 2nd round exit (with jimmy butler) they should hire hinkie back, trade embiid and simmons and start over again. especially with Boston looking loaded for the next decade and Miami likely to get Giannis in FA

The NBA forced the firing of Hinkie. It was not a voluntary choice.
