The Philadelphia 76ers have not been shy about taking NBA rebuilding to its extremes. General manager Sam Hinkie has selected several first-round draft picks who were unable to play for the franchise immediately (or sometimes even within a season or two), hasn't even offered contracts to established free agents, and kept the total team salary on the edge of the league-mandated floor, all while maintaining the utmost secrecy. The result is that the Sixers don't always resemble a normal NBA team so much as a thought experiment designed to see if it's possible to undergo a successful rebuilding process without fielding the full roster until the last possible moment.
