Not to sound like a broken record, but considering all that has been said at this juncture, the trade hammer actually evading the Philadelphia 76ers in the waning moments of the offseason will be quite the surprise. From the immovable James Harden saga to the idle Damian Lillard sweepstakes, the team should remain at the core of newsstands moving forward.
That being said, the 76ers brass should be more calculated than ever before as the franchise will be met by some degree of uncertainty heading into the upcoming season. Following yet another disappointing finish to the postseason, the team should feel a stronger sense of urgency for the results to match the process.
