I didn't say that at all. I pointed out that Hinske gathered assets while never putting together a team of pieces that fit. Which means that, either Okafor or Noel, or both, will have to go in order to get pieces that fit. Way too much positional redundancy. As it stands now, the centers are so incompatible that Okafor sits out one night while Embiid sits out the next night. And Noel may not fit at all. And they haven't had a point guard since MCW (and Jrue Holiday), both of whom Hinske traded. I was in favor of the radical makeover and Hinske. But at some point, it became questionable as to whether Hinske could ever orchestrate the putting together of a true team. Or whether the roster churn was an end, or process, unto itself.
Colangelo picked Simmons, which was not a no-brainer. And he's begun the necessary work of converting assets into a team that makes sense. Of course the jury's still out. But he's had success elsewhere and, granted some failure, but I think the Sixers need someone like him more than they need Hinske. I give Hinske credit for putting the Sixers into position to be successful, but his last year in particular raised legitimate doubts, IMHO. It's past time to put together a bleeping team.
