    Reading that letter makes you realize that nothing he did was done irrationally - everything he does/did was well thought out and had a very sound explanation.

    Now it's all going to A) be reaped by a bunch of dipshits so other dipshits can be like, "SEE IT DIDN'T WORK YOU IDIOTS THIS IS REAL BASKETBALL", or B ) be totally torn apart.

    Can't wait to trade away Saric's rights, Embiid, and one of our 1st round picks for Jeff Teague!

    Exactly dude. Best comp I have for all of this is when I used to live in the city and it would snow. Spend hours digging out a parking spot for my car. Then when I move my car some dipshit takes my spot.

    I loved the abe lincoln quote as well. 'give me six hours to chop down a tree and I will spend the first four hours sharpening my axe.' Perfect summary of The Process.

    Haha, I cannot get down with that comparison, though, as a full-fledge resident of the city on a tiny street - if you're my neighbor and you shovel out that spot, you've gone to work, and there's isn't anything else available for me on the block - go pound sand (this all went down this past winter with the storm we had). And if you key my car the war is on. Luckily, my neighbors are reasonable people - I helped shovel your walk so go fuck yourself.

    Absolutely - I think he went a little overboard with the, "this great person said this quote once" thing, but it helped drive home his points.

    except Sam would want 6 years instead of 6 hours, and to keep trading that axe until he had 3 of the same axe, with the hope that in 6 years a better axe would exist and he could leverage those 3 similar axes to maybe get that better axe.

    so are you advocating keeping 3 centers who can't play together?

    Arguing/debating with certain people is like playing video games on the novice level. You win every time but it's boring because it's so easy. (no I don't play video games anymore and haven't in about 15 years)

    some of the things he has done will no doubt benefit the franchise in the future BUT didn't have a lot of faith that he would leverage those picks into actually building a quality team. If agents won't let their free agents and draft-eligible players even talk to the franchise because of Hinkie how can you possible say he should have stayed on?

    This ownership group is a disaster. Whoever leaked that letter is a scumbag.

    Read Hinkie leaked it. Don't know if that's true, but wouldn't be surprised.

    Yep. Fans should revolt.

    This offseason will be terrifying.

    Depressing. Really can't think of another time as a philly fan where I went from being super excited about the future of a team to feeling like it ended before it even started.

    I disagree, though I will say I guess it depends on how much snow you have to shovel. If I spend a few hours shoveling out a spot I will fight to the death if someone ganks my spot.

    This is one of the few things I don't miss about city living.

    Thing is, it's not "your" spot. Nothing on the street is a driveway

    I know, but if someone spends hours shoveling out a spot they should have temporary ownership of the area that they shoveled out. It's common courtesy

    Man, the years prior to Hinkie must have been really bad for you 76ers fans if his concept of "the process" was a viable path forward. Hinkie basically tried to do on purpose what the Cleveland Browns have been doing, for what seems like, my entire life.

    He was hired to do a job.
    He did that job to perfection.
    Now, right when the job is all but over with the next phase literally weeks away, he's basically forced out in favor of Collangelo's son.

    I take back any good words I had about this ownership group.

    This team is in such a good spot to succeed right now. Probably better than at any point in the last 30 years. It's a shame Hinkie won't be around to enjoy the spoils of 3 years worth of his grunt work.

    And fuck Collangelo for leaking his letter to the investors. What a snake.

    Gonna have to disagree - once you leave that spot you accept that that spot may not be there when you get back. It's also the downfall of this city are people "owning" spots. Thank god I don't have a car anymore - so much less hassle.
