Philadelphia 76ers 2015-16 Season Preview

Last Year's Record: 18-64 (3rd worst in NBA)

1. What significant moves were made during the off-season?

Just like 2013-14, the entire 2014-15 season for the 76ers was a forward-looking exercise. Player development took precedent over win/loss records, and Sixers paid more attention to the draft than the last 50 games.

This off-season was no different. The Sixers continued to eschew short-term improvement for long-term gains. The team added Jahlil Okafor in the draft, a poor fit with the current roster, because he had the biggest long-term upside. The team let productive veterans like Luc Mbah a Moute and Ish Smith leave without even attempting to woo them back.
