But we are still in this. The Philadelphia 76ers still have a chance to show the world what they can do as a team. So let's get hyped and enjoy the ride!

Everyone is focused on James's madness. However, with James's trade stock dropping to Zero and him not being on the team mentally or physically next year, the 2024 season is already over. Joel will be 30 with a poor team around him. The 76ers need to hit reset regardless of how the James situation ends. Three young players and WAS 2024 first-round pick is respectable. They can probably get more from another team, but this would do right by Joel, and you can pick up extra picks for the young core shipping off TB and PJ.
