Trust the process. That’s the mantra that the Philadelphia 76ers brass would put out there while they were one of the worst teams in the league. The group led by Josh Harris and David Blitzer bought the 76ers back in 2011. The team was toiling in playoff contention, but they were nowhere near actual championship contenders. So, some changes were made.
It all started when the 76ers traded away Jrue Holiday for Nerlens Noel and a 1st-round pick. It was the first push to get younger as they looked towards the future.
