After a disappointing end to the season last year, as they were swept by the Boston Celtics in the first-round of the NBA playoffs, the Philadelphia 76ers made some massive changes with their management and their roster and now find themselves at the top of the standings in the Eastern Conference.

With Joel Embiid being the MVP front-runner this season and with both Tobias Harris and Ben Simmons improving this year, the Philadelphia 76ers may have their best chance to win a title this season. However, the 76ers still have some room to grow as a team and could be in the market to make one more move to solidify themselves as the team to beat in the Eastern Conference. 

With the Brooklyn Nets being the hottest team in the league right now and with their superstar trio in James Harden, Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving, the Philadelphia 76ers could have to make one final move to be able to compete with the Nets. 

The only problem is that the Sixers are currently $34.9M over the salary cap and $11.4M over the tax threshold for this season. This team does not have a lot of wiggle room in terms of acquiring any big contracts near the trade deadline, unless they are willing to part ways with Danny Green and Seth Curry, who they just acquired this past offseason.
