Let's play a little What Would Hinkie Do

In an alternate universe, Josh Harris has balls and stands up to the wicked witch of the West Dave Silver and says "No, I will not hire Jerry Coangelo, we started something, we have a plan, and we are going to see this through" Hinkie never has to quite and is still our GM. What do you think the roster looks like on this date in that alternate universe? How did we get here? Let's play a little WWHD(What would Hinkie do), What would Hinkie have done? My roster looks like this

Donovan Mitchell
Ben Simmons
Jimmy Butler
Nemanja Bjelica(had to copy and paste that one  )
Joel Embiid
Jon Isaac
J.J. Redick
Josh Hart
Amir Johnson
T.J. McConnell
Wilson Chandler
Mitchell Robinson
Zaire Smith
Furkan Korkmaz
Justin Patton
Landry Shamet

So obviously a few things stand out. #1 being that we didn't trade up for Fultz. Why? Because Hinkie doesn't trade up for Fultz, he trades down for more swings at a home run. Would Hinkie trade two swings, actually, 3 swings, at a home run for one after noticing that Danny Ainge didn't think the so called can't miss pick was as such? No. He trades down to suck on the supple lifeblood of the Sacramento Kings, his wellspring of success. Not only do we get the #5 and #10 picks of the 2017 draft we keep their pick unprotected for this year lining up what will be(in this alternate universe) the #1 pick leaving us to add a Zion Williamson or Cam Reddish to this roster next year . Fultz lives out his drama in Sacramento because in this Universe Hinkie stays, and the Sixers are not the most ridiculous drama filled NBA franchise in history. They're Kings, they're literally Kings because of the Kings(bad pun "shrugs"). Replacing Fox with Fultz keeps the Kings as the laughing-stock they rightfully were and brings us the joy we deserve(although, some question taking Isaac over Markkanen). How did we land Josh Hart? Well, Hinkie doesn't trade draft picks for money, he takes two second rounders and trades into the late first to land a valuable rotation player. Yes, he still drafts Kormaz, and very likely TLC for that matter. This was Coagelo trying to be Hinkie because he knew the guy was smarter than he was. Here's a guy that has inherited everything and he inherits the best GM situation of all time, he's a chameleon and does his best to steal some Hinkie aura but still fucks it up by signing Bayless for a year to long because.. well, he's a fucking idiot. Anyway, I could go on about how we get here but I just thought it'd be fun to see what the community thinks. I think about this way to much, can't I just be happy that we're finally where we are? I can't.. I just can't. I dream of Hinkie. I dream of a world where the Billboard never happens but the Hinkie statue does.
I'll continue with my roster. Everyone loves Amir so Hinkie signs him at the minimum, however Robinson plays him out of a job until he comes down with an injury. Even though Bjelica doesn't back out this time we still make the Wilson Chandler trade because... We also get a second round pick. This is an obvious Hinkie move. Also trading down for Zaire. Robinson? We do the same, trading up to snag our future backup center... Omg I can't wait for the draft. ESPN does a full feature on the potential scariest team in the history of sports with Zion as the cover boy. We lose to the Warriors is six in 2019 and Kevin Durant leaves the Warriors to join the Sixers. He is still not beloved... he retires after back to back titles with the Sixers to make an award winning film titled "The man who will never be Loved" The Sixers continue their title dominance winning 3 of the next four and a total of 5 out of 6 overall leaving Durant to be one of the most curious athletes of all time. Was he even good? or did he just piggyback the two greatest teams of all time?
