As everyone knows, the Philadelphia 76ers remain entrenched in their ambitious track to win a championship and snap a title drought lasting more than four decades. Put more simply, the franchise is still firmly on its win-now disposition, and there is nothing stopping them from going full throttle with their current direction despite the utter lack of encouraging returns in recent years.
True enough, the 76ers have a top-heavy roster with most of their cap space already occupied by and earmarked for their troika of All-Stars in Joel Embiid, Tyrese Maxey, and Paul George. In effect, one might say that the team has actually handcuffed itself into settling with this nucleus, even though the initial results have been flat-out ugly.
