i’m left with a similar question after reading anything Redford writes

Surely it’s closer to the back end of the 5-7 year time frame, given their horrendous injury luck the past few seasons.

...the goal was to be bad for multiple years and get a bunch of high draft picks.

...he didn’t brand it as “the process”

So you’re going to choose the most obscure draft picks you can find, incorrectly state who is on the roster (seriously, thanks for paying attention! and you’re still wrong after editing your comment), ignore the fact he flipped many of those picks for better value (two of those guys you mentioned were flipped for Nik…

Hinkie was “bad” in his first 3 years as GM, just as Ruben Amaro was “good” when he won the division his first 3 years as GM

Ownership agreed to a 5-7 year plan at the beginning of Hinkie’s tenure...Hinkie was forced out before he even finished his third year

he won pretty much every trade he made, and his draft picks have been fine with the exception of Okafor.

Prepare for Knicks fans to tell you that the process, whose goal was to lose many games over multiple seasons, failed because they lost many games over multiple seasons

the writer comes off more pretentious than Hinkie 

he wasn’t playing the Rangers

I think it’s 8mil now, but the point stands. General rule of thumb — believe the opposite of Deadspin’s baseball analysis.

I’m not homeless.

Oh no! 4-13???? How will all zero Sixers fans who predicted a playoff run this year survive???????

Here come the Knicks fans who can’t stand a single positive mention about the Sixers

except, mathematically, punting in that situation is incorrect. Kubiak, when you consider the AFC East tiebreakers, would have been better off playing for the tie rather than the win (something Petchesky missed. Some things never change).

...Reid called the timeouts to stop the clock, which obviously helped the game-tying drive. Not exactly “burning” them

remember what Anna Merlan wrote about the UVA Jackie story? oh man that was funny

“We don’t want a recount, we just want our jobs to be easier over the next two months”

Youngest NBA starting lineup in the league...their GM should be forced out for not surrounding the young roster with enough veterans.
