Why the First Game After a Grueling Road Trip Could Be the Biggest Upset of the Season
The 76ers are almost comical with what they’ve been through over the past decade. At one point they had Ben Simmons and Joel Embiid leading the team. They were young and a rising duo that were expected to carry Philadelphia to the promised land. They have added a bunch of pieces to try and find the right combination, which is what you should do when you have a centerpiece like Embiid. There is no question now that moving on from Simmons made sense. Tyrese Maxey is clearly a better point guard, and definitely a better scorer. They at one point have had Tobias Harris, Jimmy Butler, and James Harden, and none of them could work out. In fairness, a lot of that has to do with Embiid being injured. That’s a lot of star power and very little success. Now, they have Paul George, and after a disaster of a first season with them, he is suspended for 25 games for drug violations. Only the 76ers… Yesterday, Philadelphia traded away Jared McCain, arguably the best rookie from last year before he got injured. Did they sell too soon? They seem to have hit on VJ Edgecombe from this year, so maybe it won’t be noticed, but on the surface it is an odd trade.Â
