David Murphy: Forget The Process: Blowing it up not an option for Sixers as free agency and Harden’s decision loom

PHILADELPHIA — I will not relitigate The Process. I will not relitigate The Process. I will not relitigate The Process.

Oh, hey there. Pay no attention to the mantra at the beginning. It’s for everyone’s own good. I’m not even going to talk about The Process. Then again, that’s what everyone starts out thinking.

The topic du jour is more Process-adjacent than anything. “Blowing it up” is how I’ve heard it referred to. It’s the offseason strategy of choice of a surprising number of Sixers fans. What does that mean? Well, it isn’t always clear. Probably because the clearer it gets, the dumber it sounds. The Cliffs Notes version goes something like this: 1) Say goodbye to James Harden. 2) Trade Joel Embiid. 3) Turn the page.
