If that's the story you want to tell, go for it -- personally loved that angle too (and, man, what a harsh Day 1 lesson for the rookie). I feel the 76ers gambled for a pick that might end up being anything; Bridges was the more proven player, IMO. He was the better go to take, especially with their core, in the short and long term but whatever.
The "Start in Offseason" version of ML is great for these types of things.
