I've always been anti-tanking. I'll let ltg handle this.
Yeah Philly (As I predicted) blew all of you out of the water. Shoutout to my guy 312 for being down from day 1. Now I will let the other naysayers and doubters explain how "The Process" has been a failure. They can have the proverbial fight to the bottom on how it was a stupid idea.
They were THE major joke of all of pro sports for like half a decade, and still haven’t accomplished a damn thing. And all the teams that are better than them did so without tanking. Ridiculous example.
These were what passed for non "ridiculous' thoughts not too long ago.

And best collection of young talent in the league is by far the T Wolves.
That was two years ago and we are talking about a league that changes drastically every season. Terrible gotcha attempt.

They won 52 games during the first year that their two main guys got going. Going into last season Simmons and Embiid had only participated in 31 games combined. Simmons had never played in an NBA game at that point.

They have a very long ways to go in terms of filling out that roster but yeah I agree, if you draft in the top 3 for 8 straight years you should eventually be good.

Noel is good though. He's good at almost everything except scoring. He's definitely a useful player and probably a starting caliber center, and they gave him away.
I hope you're not serious about pumping up a guy winning rookie of the month. He's shown some promise but he's also a rookie averaging 11 ppg and shooting just 40%.
"A healthy Embiid" is starting to sound like an oxymoron.

And this.

If he's healthy Noel will play for another 12+ years in the league and start most of them.
I will simply stop at this point.

Your franchise superstar has to play in more than 10% of his career games. That's a bit more important than free throw shooting.
Simmons is the key to this whole thing. Embiid is a luxury that probably won't be available most years. Starting this upcoming offseason they need to retool the roster around Simmons. They'll have some flexibility even with Embiid's contract to make some moves.
