Anyone who thinks Hinkie is a genius must have an IQ of about 60. It doesn't take a genius to tank year after year and hope to get lucky in the lottery.
It may take guts because you'll be known as of the biggest losers of all time and it will cost you your job but it doesn't take smarts or talent. 4 top 3 picks the last 4 years and 5 top 6 picks in the last 5 years isn't genius. It's winning about 20 games a year and getting lucky in the lottery. It's again the product of being willing to lose a lot of games, including one of the top 3 worst seasons of all time (10-72, -10.5 point differential per game). It's then hoping that the lottery balls will go your way. Hinkie is no more a genius than someone who plays the PowerBall and somehow wins.
Two of those top picks are already gone which is a lousy record for such high picks. They've won one playoff series in six years. That's not the definition of success. Philly got their first taste of it this year but they haven't proven or done a thing except lose and lose constantly. This is somehow the work of a genius? If anyone thinks that, then I suggest they go root on the 76er forum and G.T.F.O. of here.
You know what "genius" is? It's rebuilding a team from scratch with few tangible assets and managing to do so with only ONE truly bad season. That's what Danny did. One bad year (2013) AND getting unlucky in the lottery that year - and yet here we are, another 50+ win season while missing our two best players, probably going to the ECF again, multiple great looking youngsters, great and still young All-Star veterans, multiple attractive draft picks and a FA destination. That's genius folks.
I suggest the OP learn the difference between hoping for luck and planning for success.
