Looking back, was Hinkie the right choice to carry out the rebuild?

[Arsenal]

Being a Hinkie hater myself, I never understood why he was ripped for drafting MCW, he was what 10th or 11th? Obviously MCW didn't improve his game enough but I don't put that all on Hinkie either.

I still hate the Embiid pick and hope he proves me wrong but the MCW pick, and the Okafor pick I like and really liked at the time.

I would think a lot of people aren't going around owning this like they may have a couple of years ago.

How about that whole post?

Likes the Okafor and MCW picks.

Hates Hinkie and the Embiid pick.

Dude needs to pull a Costanza and start doing the opposite of all of his natural instincts.

LOL. Actually all you need is to hear that someone is a Hinkie hater to know that they likely aren't very intelligent. No additional evidence needed.

Morey was asked in his AMA today whether Hinkie would get another shot managing a team:

“For sure, Sam is one of the top General Managers available, he will get another chance in not too long”

Also responded “yes” when he was asked whether most league executives agree that Hinkie has a place in the league.

That's actually scary, considering he won't be with us..

According to this dude: [Hinkie] was essentially demoted and chose to quit rather than endure the indignity.

It's really hard to eat crows.

what a weird, sloppy, unenjoyable column. Yeah, playoffs are back and that's great... but "thank you Josh Harris?" WTF?

Totally true. Really all you need to hear. Bringing morality into this conversation that's based on a BUSINESS (you should never lose on purpose!) is a crutch that has been kicked out time after time by now by anyone on the other pro-process side. Sold out season tickets already for next year, with a 10k person waiting list. Just absolutely dreadful logos to not sacrifice the "now" 4-5 years ago for the unlimited upside of what we are currently experiencing.
