Some of my favorite quotes from the Bible of Hinkie:
"We will not bat a thousand on every single draft pick. We also have them by the bushelful, in part, because of that. We don't have any hubris that we will get them all right. We're not certain that we have an enormous edge over anybody else. In some cases, we might not have an edge at all."
So maybe Hinkie missed on Okafor and Noel. He was right on Embiid and hopefully BC is right on Simmons and Fultz.
"What we look at is, how do we add to what we're doing in a way that gets us closer to our goal? We don't think that it will necessarily be linear — that every year you will add five wins and after 10 years you will get to 50. That's not the way we think about the world. We think that it comes at fits and starts, and you have to be prepared to put yourself in a position that you might be able to make big leaps."
Love it! Growth may not be linear. Hell we are on an exponential curve now.
When asked when he'll know when the rebuilding process is complete and he has the right players in place, Hinkie responded ominously, "We'll all know. We'll all know."
Possibly my favorite. I think we all know. The rebuilding may not be totally complete but we are close.
