Last year, he spent 400 million to raise two patients! He deceived Harden and left the team, but he wanted to win the championship but became the bottom of the Eastern Conference.

On August 4, many authoritative media recently updated the strength list. Now, the top teams on the strength list are mostly these teams: the Thunder, Nuggets, Rockets, Knicks, Cavaliers, Timberwolves, Lakers and Warriors. What is surprising is that the Mavericks did not enter the ranks of strong teams. If you think about it carefully, you can understand that Irving is absent most of the regular season. Under such circumstances, the Mavericks' strength is indeed not at the top.

The other one is the 76ers. The current situation in the East has changed drastically. The Celtics will recuperate and stay in the future because of Tatum's fall. The Pacers are also injured by Halliburton. Now Turner has left the team. It is very difficult for them to enter the playoffs in the new season. Under such circumstances, the Cavaliers and the Knicks have become the strongest in the division, followed by the Magic and the Hawks, and the 76ers are still not optimistic that they can play in the East.

76ers' paper strength and talent are at the forefront of the East. The team has three stars: Embiid, George and Maxi, among which Embiid is the top five levels in the league. In addition, the team also has several outstanding talents: McCowan, Edgecomb, Grimes, etc. If McCowan had not been injured, they could have won the league's best rookie last season. Edgecomb has the shadow of Wade, and he would be the future of the 76ers. Grimes averaged 20+ games after joining the 76ers last season, showing high potential. Why is such an excellent lineup not favored by

? I think it is because of injury. After all, it is hard to say whether George and Embiid can return to their peak after the return of the new season. Today, US media reporter Brett also gave the same concern. He said: The only news at present is that George will miss the initial stage of the new season training camp and may not participate in the preseason, but it is too early to draw a conclusion.

In addition, Embiid's knee condition is indeed worrying. Of course, the rumors about the 76ers give people a very optimistic feeling, but the league is not optimistic about Embiid's situation. Embiid was troubled by knee injuries. After surgery last season, it is hard to say whether he can recover from his peak after a big center's knee surgery, and the probability of injury is still very high. After all, Embiid is too heavy and his knees are under a lot of pressure.

Looking at Embiid and George now, I don’t know what the 76ers’ management thinks, I guess they are very depressed. The key is that they have a long-term contract. Last summer, George got a four-year, 210 million contract renewal contract for 76ers, while Embiid has 190 million in three years. The two have invested 400 million in total. As a result, the two have played a total of 60 games last season. George is 36 years old in the new season. He has always been a glass man, and the same is true for Embiid. Their attendance rate in the future cannot be guaranteed.

In the offseason last year, Embiid said that he might be like Leonard in the future, which also shows the severity of his knee injury. In fact, many knee injuries are repetitive, and Leonard is like this, which may accompany the player's entire career. Looking at the mess in my hand, I wonder if the 76ers would regret their decision. If they had not signed George and kept Harden, it might have been much better than now.

Facts have proved that it is very important to have an excellent general manager. Harden forced his palace to leave the Nets, and the 76ers traded him. Under Harden's leadership, the team reached the semi-finals twice. Once, he even played in tiebreak with the Celtics. Harden was willing to give up his absolute ball rights to assist Embiid. The combination of the two was also very good at that time. At that time, Harden also sincerely wanted to stay here for a long time.

The team's general manager tricked him into jumping out of the last year's big contract, choosing a two-year contract, asking Harden to cut his salary, helping the team sign up, and renewing his big contract the next year. Harden believed it and agreed. As a result, this happened in the second year. The general manager did not mention the big contract renewal. When Harden saw that he was being fooled, he chose to execute the contract and did not play for the team. In the end, the 76ers also compromised and chose to trade Harden to the Clippers.

Harden, who came to the Clippers, found a suitable team. Ballmer is not short of money and gave Harden enough ball rights to make him prove himself. Harden lived up to expectations. On the other hand, George, who left the team, made the 76ers suffer. Sometimes being too good at calculating may cause you to suffer, especially when you are not capable of doing so, you think you are excellent. More sincerity and trust may be the right way.

The team was third from the bottom in the Eastern Conference last season. If the two still couldn't stay healthy, the 76ers would probably be the bottom team. I think the 76ers should choose to rebuild. Focusing on Edgecom and Maxi, they will have a bright future. Speaking of which, what do you want to say about the current 76ers?
