After Sam Hinkie's resignation, the Sixers owners can only blame themselves if the rebuild goes wrong.
When the Philadelphia 76ers held a press conference to introduce Jerry Colangelo as the chairman of basketball operations in December, majority owner Josh Harris insisted that his hiring would not mean the demise of former general manager Sam Hinkie.
"We're still committed to the process," Harris told reporters, preaching a "collaborative" relationship between Colangelo and Hinkie. "I don't expect radical changes to what we're doing. We're committed to Sam. We're committed to the process."
What fools we were to believe him.
