Fair to say, it has been an underwhelming offseason for the Philadelphia 76ers thus far. Sure, Jaden Springer seems like a great value pick at 28th overall. And Georges Niang could be a helpful bench piece. But the blockbuster Ben Simmons trade has yet to happen, and the team looks to be losing leverage by the day. Waiving George Hill when he could have been at least a helpful matching contract in a trade was a bit puzzling, and who knows what’s going on with Danny Green.
So Sixers fans are thirsting for any positive news, even if something is largely innocuous.
