The Sixers’ second-round exit spurred Daryl Morey into action this summer. He traded for De’Anthony Melton on draft night before acquiring three former Rockets in free agency: P.J. Tucker, Danuel House Jr., and Montrezl Harrell. All four players are expected to play significant roles next season. That said, Morey isn’t one to sit idly while […] Could the Sixers trade for Alec Burks? - The Sixer Sense - The Sixer Sense - A Philadelphia 76ers Fan Site - News, Blogs, Opinion and More

The Sixers officially went all-in last season, mortgaging an arm and a leg to acquire James Harden at the trade deadline. It resulted in another second-round exit in the playoffs — not explicitly Harden’s fault, but disappointing all the same.

Joel Embiid is one of the NBA’s premier superstars. Consecutive runner-up finishes in the MVP race have only cemented that fact.
