<\/a><\/p>\nSeems rather innocuous on the surface, but the wording in there talks about building a “foundation for the future.” They haven’t previously called this a “rebuild” or “rebuilding year” or anything like that, so the introduction of the R word here is a shift in messaging. There’s also the admission that they aren’t “there yet,” which I think we all know.<\/p>\n
There’s some practicality here in assuaging the concerns of fans who think this team is somewhere in purgatory. The “aggressive retool” has you somewhere close to the 2007-2012 Sixers, where you’re not great but not terrible either, and essentially just treading water. Obviously a portion of fans want to blow the whole thing up and dedicate to the rebuild, especially since they’re playing themselves out of the Connor Bedard sweepstakes.<\/p>\n
