The Philadelphia 76ers dished out a five-year, $180 million contract to Tobias Harris, signed Al Horford to a four-year, $97 million deal, and locked up Ben Simmons with a five-year maximum extension. Joel Embiid also rests upon a maximum contract that he signed in 2017.
Despite all of this cash, returns on investment have not been promising, as the Sixers currently sit sixth in the Eastern Conference and are facing an uncertain offseason likely to be marred with significant changes. Orchestrating change could prove difficult, however, for the Sixers’ personnel, and their contracts, are becoming more unappealing by the day.
