The Philadelphia 76ers, for the past three years, have been defined by the successes and failures of "The Process". One of the biggest trades of Sam Hinkie's tenure with the Sixers was one that sent 2013-14 Rookie of the Year Michael Carter-Williams to the Milwaukee Bucks for the protected first-round pick from the Lakers, which is being sent to Boston in the deal for the No. 1 pick in this year's draft.
Why is this relevant right now? The Bucks held a press conference on Monday to introduce their new general manager, John Horst. Prior to introducing him, Bucks owner Wes Edens took a shot at Philadelphia and their process.

It's a somewhat confusing comment from Edens, who would rather talk about his teams' results, which haven't been that impressive. Both teams have a good young core of players, but have built them in different ways.
Let's start off with the results of the trade that kicked "The Process" into the next gear. Philadelphia sent Michael Carter-Williams to the Bucks, the Sixers got the Lakers protected first rounder from Phoenix and the Suns got Brandon Knight from Milwaukee. The Bucks also acquired Tyler Ennis and Miles Plumlee in the deal, both of whom are no longer on the team after vastly under-performing.
Since that trade, the Bucks have made the playoffs twice, but have been eliminated in the first round both times. Sure, they have gotten better results than the Sixers during the rough years of the process, but we're talking about Andre Iguodala era Sixers results – a team that slips into the playoffs just to get eliminated pretty quickly.
MCW was a let down in Milwaukee, plagued by injuries in his two seasons there. He played 79 games, averaged 12.4 points and 5.3 assists, which was much lower than his numbers in Philadelphia that earned him Rookie of the Year honors. As MCW tries to find a new home, the Sixers will use the pick they got in the three-team trade with the Bucks and Suns to acquire the No. 1 pick and select Washington Huskies guard Markelle Fultz.
