Ever since Sam Hinkie left the Philadelphia 76ers, the front office has made one misstep after another, taking the Sixers from a team filled with assets and flexibility to one locked into two of the NBA’s worst contracts. In just the last year, the Sixers went from taking the eventual NBA champion Toronto Raptors to the buzzer of Game 7 to getting swept in the first round by their biggest rival (albeit without their All-Star forward). My colleague Harrison Grimm recently wrote in-depth on how this disgrace of an organization self-imploded over the past five years.
The front office has decided to take no accountability for their failings and instead assign blame to others through leaks to the media.
