This post originally appeared at circleofhope.net. I jokingly posted to our Share Board last week that the Philadelphia 76ers were looking for a new general manager and president of operations. This was after Sam Hinkie, who has become notorious in Philadelphia for the unconventional way he has led our basketball team, announced his resignation. I joked that almost anyone would do better than Hinkie who has, without apology, created a basketball team that specializes in losing. Of course, this was something of a tongue-in-cheek statement, since most people know that Hinkie was trying to game the NBA lottery system to collect good draft picks and assets. The system is broken and Hinkie was simply exploiting it. Many people do this, but usually not as obviously as Hinkie and his 76ers did.
