The Philadelphia 76ers have been tanking for multiple seasons to get a look at a better draft pick, that has been no secret. General manager Sam Hinkie has made it clear that they haven’t been in a position the past few seasons to pursue a trade for a good player or be active in getting the offseason’s biggest free agents. Instead fans have had to watch less-than-average NBA players suit up with “PHILA” across their chest, something that was ironically once an honor only the highest-tier of NBA players had. Over the course of examining this rebuilding process, it’s become clear to me that Sixers fans play a pivotal role in how the rebuilding effort is seen around the league by fans of other teams, and fans of basketball in general.
