In case you hadn’t heard, the Philadelphia 76ers have quite the decision on their hands as the NBA calendar whirls towards free agency. The team is once again faced with the decision to try to run back a squad that fizzled out in the playoffs, or re-tool around Joel Embiid with limited assets.
The first domino of the summer will be the decision of James Harden, who will likely opt out of the second year of his $68 million contract in search of a long-term deal. The Houston Rockets are the only other suitor who seems to be assuredly in on Harden at the moment, as rumors of him returning have been swirling since Christmas Day.
