Philadelphia 76ers
No team can say they collapsed as bad as the Philadelphia 76ers did in this year’s playoffs. It was all smiles for the 76ers as they entered the postseason as the No. 1 seed in the Eastern Conference.
Philadelphia ousted the Washington Wizards with ease in the first round, but ran into a brick wall in the Atlanta Hawks.
Despite having the superior team, the 76ers were unable to overcome the Hawks, largely due to the inconsistent play from Ben Simmons and Tobias Harris.
After seeing Simmons performances in the playoffs, Daryl Morey has to realize that Simmons and Embiid can’t coexist, especially if Simmons refuses to improve on offense.

With Philadelphia ready for a deep playoff run, getting a new running mate for Embiid would be ideal. The 76ers understand that it’s not going to be easy shaking off the collapse they had this season, making them a team that could be extremely aggressive on the trade market.
