“Tanking to the Top” offers clues as to why so many Sixers fans no longer trust the process

I finally got to reading Yaron Weitzman’s new book Tanking to the Top: The Philadelphia 76ers and the Most Audacious Process in the History of Professional Sports. In case you missed it our own Steve Lipman got the chance to interview Weitzman, a reporter for Bleacher Report, back in mid-March. The book was an awesome read. I may have originally opened it excited for juicy tidbits about Sam Hinkie and Joel Embiid. But one of the book’s most fascinating surprise themes is about the team’s Managing Partner, Josh Harris, and the braintrust he’s assembled for key b-ball decisions.
