It is far from a secret that the Philadelphia 76ers' previous campaign was nothing less than a catastrophe -- winning just 24 games in the entirety of the season. The franchise's loyal fanbase would have been happy to take a flamethrower to the whole roster sheet and start from fresh, with very few exceptions.
The Sixers may have witnessed a leap in the development of players such as Tyrese Maxey, Jared McCain, and Adem Bona. Yet, the rest of their roster showed little resilience down the stretch of a gruelling schedule, succumbing to injuries and downright awful performances.
