Markelle Fultz and the Shawshanking of the Process

I believe The Process pre-dated Sam Hinkie and actually started with the Andrew Bynum trade of August 2012. I remember how I felt, because I blogged about it. Obviously, we remember how that turned out, but if you don’t, I blogged about it. The Bynum trade — made at a franchise crossroads months after beating an injury-ravaged Bulls team in the first round and nearly upsetting the Celtics in the second -- was the ultimate process over results decision. It’s what started the decimation of a mediocre, low-ceiling team and what ultimately attracted Sam Hinkie to the job.
