Hear me out, but I think the Sixers are basically prepping for 2019-2020 and 2020-2021 and I respect it. I say this because by 2020:
Zhaire Smith will return and have a year under his belt. I'm high on him.
We will finally know what Fultz is by then. Hopefully his shot will be under control. If so, it's looking scary for the east. If not, trade him
Embiid (if healthy) will be in his prime and on his Dream shyt
Simmons will be a stretched out jason kid
Dario will give the boost and scoring needed off the bench
And the sixers still have Miami draft pick in the tuck
Any success that occurs between then and now is icing on the cake for me
nobody said this process was finished
