If I were going to be consistent about this, I suppose I should give Sixers president of basketball operations/general manager Bryan Colangelo the same season and half I gave former Sixers president of basketball operations/general manager Sam Hinkie before turning a skeptical eye on what he was doing to build a credible NBA team.
The situations, however, are a little different.
While Hinkie was not as transparent about his plan to intentionally field some of the worst rosters in NBA history, to intentionally lose games in an effort to game the NBA’s lottery system, he did state from the beginning this was a rebuilding project.
