Multi-year “Process” style tanking is exactly what the Lakers have done for the last three years. Just in case you missed it, the “Process” era began at the 2013 draft for Philadelphia. Here are the Sixers and Lakers pick positions in that time:
2013: Philly 11, LA 19
2014: Philly 3, LA 7
2015: Philly 3, LA 2
2016: Philly 1: LA 2

From 2014 to the current date, the Sixers have lost 234 games and compiled a .225 winning percentage. The Lakers have lost 220 games and compiled a .276 winning percentage.
