Podcasts about hinkie

The Word of the Day is Failure (0:00-7:56) Tyrone believes The Process with Sam Hinkie was a failure. The Sixers are no closer to an NBA championship now than they were almost a decade ago with Hinkie as GM. We as fans were led astray. (8:02 -15:50 ) We pay “Hoosiers” Actor Gene Hackman our respects. Tyrone is not a fan of Hoosiers. The Twitter poll for today asks: “Was the Process a failure?” 89% said Yes and 11% said No. The Sixers have had success, just not enough. (16:00-27:50) Tyrone and Ricky talk PG dropping 25 points last night in MSG. Maxey had lots of energy. Does the team deserve our cheer and applause? Ricky is bothered that Paul George finally decides to take things seriously with only 6 weeks left in the regular season. Tyrone calls for the removal of the Sam Hinkie jersey from Xfinity Live. (28:00-37:05) Ben Simmons was supposed to be the next LeBron James. Tyrone, Ricky and Sylvana recall more of Hinkie and his countless draft mistakes.

The Word of the Day is Failure (0:00-13:22) Tyrone calls on “Hinkie Truthers” to defend the originator of The Process. Tyrone asks Ricky if there was ever a member of the media he wanted to punch for something they asked or said to him during media sessions. (13:33-21: 34) Tyrone does not think Sam Hinkie was a good talent evaluator. Jahlil Okafor over Kristaps Porzingis. Ricky questions the Sixers effort overall, despite a very close near win against the Knicks last night in Madison Square Garden without Embiid. (21:45-34:24) Tyrone and Ricky react to the NFLPA Team Report Card for the Eagles, ranked 22nd out of 31st, all the way down from 4th last year. (34:26-42:30) Tyrone, Ricky and Sylvana discuss renting a forklift to remove the Sam Hinkie jersey from inside Xfinity Live. Return to the Twitter poll, 1600 votes. 87% of voters say The Process was a failure.

Alex is joined by Ben Landsee to discuss the origins and meaning of the phrase, "trust the process". Ben talks about Sam Hinke's unique approach he brought to the Philadelphia 76ers in 2013 (9:52), and the analytical pioneers who influenced him. Ben outlines the benefits and limitations of Hinkie's process (18:37), and how it affected the career trajectories of many highly touted draft picks (e.g. Jrue Holiday, Nerlens Noel, Michael Carter-Williams, Markelle Fultz, Ben Simmons, and superstar Joel Embiid). The guys discuss Hinkie's positive influence on the broader sports landscape including Sam Presti's version of the process in Oklahoma City (29:12). Ben criticizes 76ers' management for trading away an antidote to the poisonous effects of the process (23:48), and Alex finshes the show by giving shoutouts to the valued TSPeeps before he and Ben play Start-Bench Cut focused on the most infuriating athletes (45:20).This episode is brought to you by The Scotian Braider.Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100087254292578&mibextid=LQQJ4dInstagram: https://instagram.com/thescotianbraider?igshid=YmMyMTA2M2Y=TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@thescotianbraider?is_from_webapp=1&sender_device=

Adio Royster and Dave Early to the summer of 2014. This draft is incredibly important to Philadelphia 76ers fans and history. It is the draft when the Sixers took Joel Hans Embiid third overall. The Cleveland Cavaliers took Andrew Wiggins with the first overall pick. The Milwaukee Bucks drafted Duke forward Jabari Parker second overall. That left the Sixers and general manager Sam Hinkie to take Embiid with the third pick. There was a back injury. There was a face injury. There was a foot injury. None of that mattered. Hinkie and the Sixers were happy to take Embiid third, and Embiid was happy not to go to a 'corny' city (his words) like Milwaukee. What if things happened differently? What if David Griffin and the Cavaliers had the foresight to take Embiid and (maybe) pair him with Lebron James and Kyrie Irving down the line? What if the Bucks were patient with Embiid allowing them to pair him with Giannis Antetokounmpo? Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

I discuss how the Sixers would be if they never let Sam Hinkie go.

For the last several years Frank McKee has been teaching a course at La Salle University about William Penn, the founder of Pennsylvania, and Sam Hinkie, the former GM of the 76ers and the architect of what became known as The Process. McKee, the Director of the American studies program at La Salle, says the approach Hinkie took in building the Sixers has a lot of similarities to what Penn went through as the leader of Pennsylvania and the planner behind Philadelphia. We wanted to know everything about this so we asked Frank McKee to come on the podcast to talk about how Sam Hinkie and William Penn both learned to trust the process in Philadelphia.

It's just Jon and Dave this week as Matt serves a one pod suspension for being extremely "mad online." It's the best for all parties. Alex Rodriguez fires Minnesota's GM Gersson Rosas and promotes a Hinkie guy in his place. Could Elton Brand leave the Sixers for the Timberwolves? Would Jon nut too hard if that happens?

It's the playoffs baby! So Dave has to talk about the Knicks losing to Trae Young. Jon wasn't there at this part so he's lucky he missed it. Then the hoopers are joined by Jake Fischer to talk about his book, Built to Lose, and tell stories about meeting Sam Hinkie. Jon joins as well so that's when it gets good. We play Guess the Avi with Jake involving Pacer fans.

The Sixers swept the Celtics because their team is basically a disgrace (and Joel Embiid looked like himself again). We discuss the game, the five year anniversary of the Sam Hinkie resignation letter, what lineup will close playoff games, the Jrue Holiday contract, and what a shitty disgrace the Celtics are.   The Rights To Ricky Sanchez is presented by Draft Kings Sportsbook.   Sign up for Draft Kings Sportsbook and use promo code RTRS.

In the pod Dave Early interviews ESPN Insider, writer, reporter, host of the ESPN Daily Podcast, frequent quest or host on PTI, Highly Questionable, Around the Horn on ESPN. They get into: What bets did he place on the Superbowl, is our society headed for a "doink" economy? Who is the MVP today, is it Embiid? At one point Pablo says: “Guess whose over there? Joel fucking Embiid…. I’m trying to rub the Sixers success in the present into as many faces as possible….” And it’s glorious. He even works mashed potatoes and offers some half drank milk carton to us Process day 1’s. Generous, if gross. If Jeff Van Gundy still angry Pablo isn’t a doctor? How did Pablo convince Sam Hinkie to meet and talk to him when so few others could? What’s unique about Sam’s mind? If Pablo ran the Knicks would he fire Leon Rose and hire Hinkie? What did Sam Hinkie reveal he dreams about? Is an All-Star Game this season a bad idea with 20 of the best players in the world in one perhaps at risk-location? How will history look back on us for enjoying the NBA right now as we we learn more and more about this Pandemic? Is outdoor NBA feasible in the future? What made Pablo say this: “Those Sixers, they care about title contention so much more than the Jeanie Buss’ and all of the other owners and GMs who side-eyed them as [The Process] was happening.” What does Pablo think of Doc Rivers? Tobias Harris. Somehow there is a Joel Embiid having an orgy basketball metaphor that organically arises and Pablo says “yes it would be the Caligula of the NBA.” How would he woo a free agent if Daryl Morey hired him to personally make it happen? What’s his Mina Kimes’ Etch A Sketch talent? Would he have traded Ben for Harden? How about Ben for Beal? What would he offer for Zach LaVine? Learn more about your ad choices.

When the Philadelphia 76ers announced they were hiring Daryl Morey to be their president of basketball operations, it turned heads across the NBA. Not just because of Morey's track record with the Houston Rockets, but because of his close relationship with former 76ers GM Sam Hinkie. Hinkie's tenure with the 76ers was polarizing. With some accusing him of tanking and turning the team into a laughingstock, and others admiring his long-term vision for the team's success...a vision that has come to be embodied by the now ubiquitous phrase "Trust the Process." Hinkie, who was ousted from the franchise in 2016, now works not in basketball but in business, and has founded a venture capital firm called Eighty-Seven Capital. In a re-spin of an ESPN Daily bonus episode, Hinkie joins Pablo Torre for a rare, wide-ranging interview that covers his time with the Sixers, his exit from basketball, and his perspective on life away from the game.

Now that it's had some time to think in, we give our thoughts on how Daryl Morey will proceed in his first year as President of Basketball Operations for the Sixers. How close does he think they are to being a title contender? We discuss Sam Hinkie's appearance with Pablo Torre on ESPN Daily, and his thoughts on Simmons, how much time it will take Morey, and his potential NBA return. We also discuss disposable napkins, trading for Victor Oladipo, and whether Morey counts as an original piece of the Ship Of Theseus (Process edition).

On this episode of “No Particular Hurry” we get a former Liberty Baller! The Athletic’s superstar, Rich Hofmann to weigh in on the state of the Sixers, and discuss the new report that they’re offering a 5 year deal to former Rockets’ GM, and former colleague of Sam Hinkie (!?!), Daryl Morey! Was Daryl the puppet master behind the hirings of Doc Rivers, Peter Dinwiddie, and Prosper Karangwa? Or was this a perfectly Sixers unorthodox hire the most important person last move? Is Elton going to stay on? Might he be devastated with this hiring? Could it be awkward between him and Daryl once Daryl sees the cap sheet? Jam packed with opinions from someone who knows the Sixers better than anyone else in the game. Is this a tacit mea culpa from Josh and Blitz going back to Hinkie's roots?

In are Peter Dinwiddie and Prosper Karangwa to the Sixers front office, out are the Hinkie guys, moved to the back closet are Alex Rucker and Ned Cohen, and sitting at home having never been called is Daryl Morey. We talk about the Sixers insistence on not bringing in a real executive, discuss the hirings of Dinwiddie and Karangwa, read passages from Scott O'Neil's 2005 book about the rat race, dissect a trade for each Sixers player, and once again give great (??) relationship advice.  The Rights To Ricky Sanchez is presented by Draft Kings Sportsbook.

When a group of private equity bigwigs purchased the Philadelphia 76ers in 2011, the team was both bad and boring. Attendance was down. So were ratings. The Sixers had an aging coach, an antiquated front office, and a group of players that could best be described as mediocre. Enter Sam Hinkie — a man with a plan straight out of the PE playbook, one that violated professional sports’ Golden Rule: You play to win the game. In Hinkie’s view, the best way to reach first was to embrace becoming the worst — to sacrifice wins in the present in order to capture championships in the future. And to those dubious, Hinkie had a response: Trust The Process, and the results will follow. The plan, dubbed “The Process,” seems to have worked. More than six years after handing Hinkie the keys, the Sixers have transformed into one of the most exciting teams in the NBA. They’ve emerged as a championship contender with a roster full of stars, none bigger than Joel Embiid, a captivating seven-footer known for both brutalizing opponents on the court and taunting them off of it. Beneath the surface, though, lies a different story, one of infighting, dueling egos, and competing agendas. Hinkie, pushed out less than three years into his reign by a demoralized owner, a jealous CEO, and an embarrassed NBA, was the first casualty of The Process. He’d be far from the last.

We spend time with Will Griffith diving into another often mentioned potential GM candidate, Sam Hinkie. We break down the process, what Hinkie does, and doesn't deserve credit for, if he can be versatile, and more.

No Dave this week so Matt and Jon talk actual hoops. Lakers in trouble? Raptors best story this year? Sixers disaster? Will the Sixers fire Brett Brown and trade Simmons? One of us thinks so. Take a guess! 

The Sixers are going to win it all again. This decision is made after their first Bubble scrimmage against Memphis. We discuss Simmons' shooting, Milton's playmaking and zombie optimism.

Author of "Tanking to the Top", Yaron Weitzman, calls in to give his reasons why Sam Hinkie was a good GM.

WIP Program Director, Spike Eskin, calls in to give his counter argument towards Howard Eskin's Sam Hinkie hate.

Sam Hinkie has a new company that has nothing to do with sports, and Mark Eversley of the Sixers Front Office Collaborators got new jobs, and we talk about them both. We discuss the anxiety of news and not going outside, who Ben Simmons should watch, and Mike gives some early draft takes. Then Alyssa Litman and Taylor Misiak from The Table Flipping Podcast join us to talk Reality TV, The Bachelor, 90 Day Fiance, realty vs. game shows, and the season finale of Taylor’s TV show with Lil Dickey, Dave. Also Taylor likes JJ Redick.

A Liberty Ballers Columnist turned Rights to Ricky Sanchez writer and an OG member of the Mike Scott Hive and now Temple University's own @SixersAdam comes on the pod and shines a light on life from the press box and how NBA commissioner Dave Silver got his credentials taken away. What starts out as a school project about Mike Scott Hive turns into closet fandoms being outed, dog masks torn to shreds, sweating profusely due to Hinkie arguments, and of course a few minutes to praise the greatest Sixer of our generation, Robert Covington. This 5 star high school prospect did NOT go to the G-League!

They've emerged as a championship contender with a roster full of stars, none bigger than Joel Embiid, a captivating seven-footer known for both brutalizing opponents on the court and taunting them off of it. Beneath the surface, though, lies a different story, one of infighting, dueling egos, and competing agendas. Hinkie, pushed out less than three years into his reign by a demoralized owner, a jealous CEO, and an embarrassed NBA, was the first casualty of The Process. He'd be far from the last. Drawing from interviews with nearly 175 people, Yaron Weitzman's Tanking to the Top: The Philadelphia 76ers and the Most Audacious Process in the History of Professional Sports (Grand Central Publishing, 2020) brings to life the palace intrigue incited by Hinkie's proposal, taking readers into the boardroom where the Sixers laid out their plans, and onto the courts where those plans met reality. Full of uplifting, rags-to-riches stories, backroom dealings, mysterious injuries, and burner Twitter accounts, Tanking to the Top is the definitive, inside story of the Sixers' Process and a fun and lively behind-the-scenes look at one of America's most transgressive teams. Paul Knepper is an attorney and writer who was born and raised in New York and currently resides in Austin. He used to cover basketball for Bleacher Report and his first book about the New York Knicks Teams of the 1990s is due out this year.

Are the Sixers a dumpster fire? A successful front office? Do you trust ownership? Yes, No, No in that order and on this podcast we tell you why. Join Vick and I as we take a stroll down memory lane to better understand what's gone wrong.

Want a blast from the past? This week, Matt reviews Yaron Weitzman's book on Sam Hinkie and the Sixers, "Tanking to the Top." Most of it is him as he tries to explain why drafting Jahlil Okafor was actually a good decision. Apologies to everyone. Then an exciting Get @ Me Dawg staring Jamal Crawford. 2015 nerds should get excited!

After a long hiatus where the whole world seemed like it was ending, we are back! Yes, it is great timing with the NBA also being on hiatus, we know. So, we're bringing back a nice little episode on Sam Hinkie. This episode was originally posted way back on April 7, 2016! An emergency pod was recorded because Sam Hinkie stepped down as the Philadelphia 76ers General Manager which eventually became the seat that Bryan Colangelo filled. Sixers fans were split down the middle on whether this was a good move or not, but at this point, a lot of fans may want Hinkie back. Without further ado, let's get into the episode that still breaks my heart to this day. Yes, I recorded this episode right after a college class where I was not paying attention because I was fuming over the fact Hinkie was not the GM anymore and 'The Process' felt like it was ending.

After a loss in Golden State to a G-League team, we discuss why we have an influx of emails, tweets, and reviews talking about how much people hate the Sixers. Mike gives his theory about why we’re going to be watching them for a long time this season, update the status of the OKC pick, we analyze audio from the owners and CEO, decide on who the kinkiest Sixers player is, talk about the firing of Kenny Atkinson, find joy in Shake Milton and the need for him to be the 5th starter, and whether you’ll get a refund for your Al Horford Appreciator shirt.

We’ve relitigated The Process on podcast a thousand times, but it’s finally relitigated in book form. The first book about Sam Hinkie’s controversial Sixers rebuild has been written by Yaron Weitzman is called Tanking To The Top, and it’s out March 17th (pre-order here). Yaron joined us to talk about the behind the scenes stories he was able to uncover about Sam Hinkie, Brett Brown, Joel Embiid, and even the Rights To Ricky Sanchez, as well as the backstabbing, controversy, and intrigue.

Pete Toal and I got into everything from NBA awards changes, Hinkie rumours to the Kings, plans for the NBA's bottom-dwellers, rookie takes and more.

Part two of our 76ers dicsussion where Jonathan Levy joins Zaire, Matt Ignal, and Evan Valenti to debate the two different styles of rebuilding and what the future holds for both teams. Then, we transition to the Celtics best path towards contention. Follow us on Twitter: @CLNSRoundtable
