There probably isn’t anything comparable in sports to a few thousand beleaguered 76ers fans packing into a downtown bar to cathartically cheer moving up a few spots in the NBA Draft Lottery. And yet, the euphoria is real (and infectious!) when the collective bloodlust for a pick swap is sated:
I got chills and I think tanking is immoral! So now that the Sixers will pick in the top-three for the fourth straight year, is The Process finally over? Are short-term moves and a playoff push finally at hand? Can the currency of hope be exchanged for actually winning games?
To help answer these questions, Philadelphia fan and true believer Max Rappaport (@maxrappaport) joins the latest episode of Fastbreak Breakfast. Max is a writer for Liberty Ballers and hosts the Stepover Podcast and creates novelty Sixers t-shirts. So how does he feel about getting the third pick in the draft? How confident is he in the direction of the franchise? And what will it take to declare The Process a success?
Also covered:
- What are the benefits of not ending up with the Lakers pick this year?
- Is Bryan Colangelo in a thankless position? What can he do to step out of the shadow of Hinkie?
- Should the Sixers trade the #3 pick and future assets to try and acquire a veteran star?
- How does the Sixers current management feel about the “Trust the Process” religion and the cult of Hinkie?
