The 76ers unexpectedly aided the enemy thanks to Joel Embiid

6 days ago | thesixersense.com | Nicolas Kyle Pring

You probably didn’t foresee this one. The Philadelphia 76ers somehow managed to get spun together with some narratives in the playoffs despite them not having any sort of an active participation therein. While that may be far from the kind of relevance nearly everyone expected from the team when the season began, that at least gives fans something tangible to think of when watching the heated action in the postseason.
76ers have obvious free agency target as breakout player struggles

6 days ago | thesixersense.com | Nicolas Kyle Pring

Another team’s troubles could be gold for the 76ers. Thanks to a notably disappointing season, the Philadelphia 76ers are relegated to spectator duty in the thick of the action-packed 2025 NBA Playoffs. Only eight teams remain in the tight race for the rights to hoist the Larry O’Brien trophy in June, and just like in previous years, the postseason has become wildly unpredictable. Philly has its sights set on the upcoming offseason which, for them, will be kicked off by the draft lottery.
Steve Kerr’s sudden move gives 76ers a sneak peek at rumored target

1 week ago | thesixersense.com | Nicolas Kyle Pring

Thanks for the tease, Steve Kerr. With the 2025 NBA Playoffs already featuring a slew of contests that will end up being classics, even teams booted out of the postseason like the Philadelphia 76ers cannot afford to simply let the action fly past them. The remaining teams all tout players who could be plenty attractive for prospective buyers, and they are definitely one of them. As said multiple times before, it will be imperative for the 76ers to exhibit more resourcefulness this time around.
76ers can avoid another summer disaster by learning this free agency lesson

1 week ago | thesixersense.com | Nicolas Kyle Pring

Time for the 76ers to cast aside their old ways. In keeping with the disaster that struck the Philadelphia 76ers this season, the franchise is now operating with pretty slim margin of error. Their current footing as a ball club is far from enviable, and at this juncture, the front office has no other choice but to implement several changes to the roster if they want to construct a team with an actual shot at being relevant next season.
76ers blow once-in-a-lifetime opportunity as their impatience backfires

1 week ago | thesixersense.com | Nicolas Kyle Pring

The 76ers could have been in this position had they been more patient. At this point in time, the Philadelphia 76ers stand in an unenviable position. As this season pretty much proved, the franchise is clinging onto a defective nucleus, while their future remains a dicey proposition as most of their assets are dependent on things that are out of their control. This year’s draft pick will probably serve as their most valuable asset to improve the roster, yet that is also far from a safe bet.
Alarming 76ers crisis emerges as superstar gives them the cold shoulder

1 week ago | thesixersense.com | Nicolas Kyle Pring

This only fortifies an overlooked crisis the 76ers cannot gloss over. In keeping with their current ills, the Philadelphia 76ers would definitely benefit a lot from a huge shake-up. However, that is currently out of the realm of reality, as the franchise faces huge financial and situational constraints that prevent them from even going after a facelift this offseason. Frankly speaking, the 76ers will most likely look the same next season, at least when it comes to their core players.
76ers get out of their misery with this proposed Joel Embiid trade

1 week ago | thesixersense.com | Nicolas Kyle Pring

Would this be an ideal Hail Mary for the 76ers? Despite every maneuver the Philadelphia 76ers can take this offseason, nothing stands as more important for the franchise than to ensure the recovery of Joel Embiid from his lingering knee issue. The way this team is constructed, the superstar’s availability will still be the main determining factor if they tout a realistic shot at returning to relevance next season. For now, both camps remain in wait-and-see mode.
Daryl Morey makes a shameless comment as 76ers skate on thin ice

1 week ago | thesixersense.com | Nicolas Kyle Pring

Morey will surely get no love for this one. In just a week from now, the Philadelphia 76ers should get a lot more certainty as to how their offseason strategy would look like. After all, the draft lottery will soon give the franchise an idea if they will be in a position to add a young, solid prospect to enhance not only its present, but most importantly, its future.
76ers just took a massive leap forward without moving an inch

1 week ago | thesixersense.com | Nicolas Kyle Pring

They may be idle for now, but the 76ers have somehow made huge strides. With the 2025 NBA Playoffs still well underway — and the first-round having just finished — all the Philadelphia 76ers can do for now is to fully take in the action from afar. That is the consequence of them putting forth arguably their most disappointining single-season finishes in franchise history.
The Clippers are making a James Harden realization 76ers fans already knew

Vindication for the 76ers, perhaps. The Philadelphia 76ers are nowhere to been in the action-packed 2025 NBA Playoffs, but the team has remained a vivid adjunct in the background. Former players for the franchise, after all, have been at the crux of various narratives in the postseason, with some patterns from their prior stint with the team carrying over to their new squads, for better or for worse.
