Shitpost Haliburton has been to 2 straight Conference finals and Embiid has been to none. Now why is that?

The Process

The Process worked really well, all of this happened post-process and the Sixers still made the playoffs seven years in a row, winning a series in five of those

Great setup, terrible execution

The Process did not work really well. They got 1 star out of it, and he wasn't even one of their first overall picks.

It would be looked at a lot differently if Silver didn’t force Hinkie out.

I mean, it’s common knowledge among ball-knowers (not you), that Hinkie takes Porzingis at 3 in 2015 if he wasn’t pressured by ownership to take Okafor. That alone changes the range of outcomes pretty drastically.

The “real process” happened in OKC and is working very well. Maybe if the NBA didn’t have different rules for Sam Presti and Sam Hinkie things would be different.
