While that is true, what do they have to show for it after all these years? They are now looking to trade their lottery pick players AGAIN. It's a re-run of the same shyt.

they have a better long term future than what they had with Bynum/Holiday/and Thad Young....The 76ers have enough assets to do whatever it is they want to do. And thats on top of the 1st pick in this draft. Being a treadmill team like the Hawks means nothing. As a franchise going forward they are currently far more attractive than they were.

The future looks bright for alot of squads but you can't say they are better off until they actually surpass where they were before the process. There's no guarantee that they'll be more than that.
I'm not saying that it's championship or failure for them but if they don't become more than a 2nd round exit team all the tanking was pointless. So you can't say they're better off until they actually get somewhere on the court cause they could become a treadmill team all over again.

I understand Noel didn't really pan out, probably cause of that injury in Kentucky but Okafor had a solid 17/7 rookie year. Why they wanna get rid of him?

I can't agree with this. But I can say that I see why they did what they did and that they have better long term prospects.

You serious? They're so much better off right now than their past life as a bottom tier playoff team

Rebuilding (partially or full) isn't pointless. The "process" the 76ers took to rebuild was basically a waste of time though. The only two pieces going forward they have is a 7fter they drafted two years ago who hasn't seen the court and whose health status is unknown and a 22yo Euro product whose value in the league is unknown. That is not a stable foundation going forward after you've been tanking for the last three seasons.
