Message: [QUOTE="Dogdeacon, post: 2073617, member: 1026"] And I still could not disagree more. On Hinkie it is done, whether 'the process' cult still has believers or adherents remains relevant but clearly no one is going to try exactly what he did b/c its suicide. He got fired and to this point is a pariah. And that's why I also don't buy in. How is this different from a company selling at a massive loss to gain market share and then declaring them a winner even before they've made a profit from the market share? You cannot discount the loss of $, reputation etc, THEN they have to succeed (WIN) before declaring success and its still 50-50 to occur. In that situation its not worth it if the profits don't outweigh the losses by math - here its more subjective, but I'd still apply the math of wins-losses, track attendance & create some measurable playoff barometer. I maintain that 5 years of losing isn't worth it UNTIL you win and even then its a Faustian bargain. A. Very difficult to redirect to a winning culture (Jury absolutely still out, + cleaning house of coaches/GM seems necessary) B. Have to be LUCKY in the draft and draft exceedingly well and this is still inexact science. Simply put you are sacrificing seasons & committing all resources to a process that by its very definition is massively uncertain (lottery balls and pick success) C. They've inexplicably frocked themselves with the injured player drafting compounding the risks. Noel has already yielded next-to-nothing and Embid return paltry to this point. Going forward it pretty much all hinges on Embid (title contention wise) and to assume its a success cuz he looked phenomenal in 31 games but then got hurt again is ignoring RESULTS for intangible non-facts.
