It is probably a tad too generous to say that the Philadelphia 76ers have averted some sort of a disaster here and there given the not-so-enviable position they currently find themselves in as a franchise, but with respect to this particular matter, the front office definitely dodged a ticking bomb.
As some fans know (and some have already forgotten), at some point in time last season, the 76ers expressed interest in trading for Warriors forward Jonathan Kuminga. Back then, he was coming off an impressive season where he averaged more than 16 points per game on nearly 53 percent shooting from the field despite playing just around 26 minutes per contest for Golden State.
