The Philadelphia 76ers drew a lot of flak last year when they went on a largesse in free agency. Of course, there is definitely credence behind those criticisms, but people have completely forgotten about the other part of that spending spree, which was the decision to part ways with a lot of their own free agents at that time.
Turns out, the 76ers made the right call about most, if not all of them. One player whom the front office did not even seriously attempt to retain was Buddy Hield, who had only spent a few months with the team at that juncture.
