With the offseason dust beginning to settle, the realism of simply “running it back” is beginning to set in. The Sixers elected to bring back Danny Green and there still has been no Ben Simmons trade. While a deal may certainly still occur, the clock is ticking and Daryl Morey recently tweeted out some positive stats about last year’s lineup indicating it might be best to expect more of the same. For Doc Rivers, a change of heart is needed.
While Ben Simmons has rightfully been criticized greatly for his postseason performance, he is far from the only problem on the team.
