I disagree.
From a GM standpoint, all you can do is assemble a roster that puts you in the conversation. It is up to the players and coaches to do the rest. There is a lot more work to be done in Philly, but Simmons and Embiid are for real. That means the process has absolutely worked even if it doesn't eventually lead to any championships.
The Sixers are in the conversation.
Even from the standpoint of roster, its too early to call.
People are making very understandable and fair projections about Embiid and Simmons. But at this point they are still projections that have yet to be proven.
