If there’s anything that fans can unanimously agree on, it’s that the Philadelphia 76ers have undoubtedly been one of the more underwhelming teams this offseason. From star guard James Harden trying to pull all pullable strings for an impending exit to the front office making some head-scratching moves and missing out on opportunities, the franchise hasn’t really done anything to strengthen its footing among the league’s upper echelon.
In fact, while the East continues to get stronger across the board, penciling the Sixers in as a candidate for a decline next season is certainly within the realm of possibility and not sheer pessimism.
