For some reason, the Philadelphia 76ers felt the need to “reinforce” the backcourt this offseason right when they already had an abundance of talented guards. Now, that is actually a good, self-aware team given the current trends in the league, but the way they did it definitely puzzled a lot of people. After all, their depth pieces came in the form of two, washed veterans.
Both Kyle Lowry and Eric Gordon have given the 76ers absolutely nothing this season. They are way past their primes even if you stretch it, and the coaching staff has already recognized the fact that they are nothing more than mere bench sweeteners at this point.
