People remember how during the heart of ‘The Process’, Philadelphia 76ers general manager Sam Hinkie would whirl players on and off the roster, in search of ‘diamonds in the rough’ (like Robert Covington) and, most likely, making sure the team did not achieve a continuity that might get them some extra wins.
Coach Brett Brown used to joke how a player would show up one day, and he would be starting at point guard that night.
Current 76ers GM Elton Brand has shown since he took the job last fall that he feels the time to win is now.
