76ers Tortoise Versus NBA Hare

The path of the Philadelphia 76ers forced bravery to make decisions which might not pan out. Rather than focus on wrong decisions, the team strove to make right ones. And while other teams jumped ahead in wins because they added expensive veterans, the Philadelphia 76ers continued the regiment of “slow and steady wins the race”.

    • Now, don’t be shocked at the statement that these Philadelphia 76ers have won nothing yet. Well, besides 10 games, that is.  But examine where teams are today, teams which had fallen upon scorched earth.

    Rapid Improvement

    At this moment, the Philadelphia 76ers are rapidly improving, and for good reason. The team on-boarded three starters to star-caliber NBA players in the forms of Dario Saric, Ben Simmons, and Joel Embiid.

    In order to accomplish that level of talent coming on simultaneously, an NBA team would need the first, the second, and a top 10 pick in the NBA Draft on a good draft year. The “tanking” reputation of the team is a misnomer. The team never tried to lose. Instead, the focus was bringing significant talent online simultaneously.
