As a Heat fan, I think your stance makes sense. You guys have won the title a few times recently. I’ve never seen the 76ers win a title. Outside of the Iverson years, they’ve been pretty bad during most of my prime fandom years. I totally supported the process. But maybe if the 76ers had a few titles under their belt, maybe I’d feel differently.
Yep. I agree with what @tlance said...if your team isn't a destination city, what the Sixers did is the best way to build a contender. Just be as open as you can to make sure your fans are on board and then tank hard so you can get "homegrown" talent.
Eventually, those players will all have to be paid, so the Sixers cap situation will get a lot more complicated in a few years. But even then, they can trade guys for younger, less expensive talent if they need to.
