Why The Philadelphia 76ers Do The Deal
The answer is obviously a resounding yes. The 76ers would have to do this deal if it was on the table.
After all, Wiggins is a perfect addition to the rest of this core. His 3-and-D skill set complements everyone, while his ability to generate offense when needed is a huge bonus for the Sixers.
It’s worth noting that James Harden appears to be in decline. It would behoove this Sixers team to surround him with players who can lighten his offensive burden through the regular season. After all, they’ll need him in peak form in the postseason.
Realistically, that’s the only priority for this Sixers team. They’ll be hoping to find themselves exactly where the Warriors did this season: hoisting the Larry O’Brien Trophy when it’s over.
