If the Philadelphia 76ers stay relatively healthy in the upcoming season, they’ll be among the Eastern Conference’s finest. What could separate Philadelphia from the pack is possessing a reliable power forward that could iron out the flaws of its starting five. Currently, the 76ers don’t have a safe option at the four and there’s no clear-cut starter.
The 76ers tried to fill in the void
It’s not like Philadelphia didn’t attempt to address this issue throughout the summer. Its first free agency play was snagging Trendon Watford on a two-year/$5.3 million contract. Re-signing Guerschon Yabusele would’ve been the 76ers’ best path.
