With the start of the NBA season a week away, the Sixers still have to make final cuts before they play the Oklahoma City Thunder on Oct. 26.
Even though rookie Ben Simmons, the No. 1 overall pick, will miss at least the first few months while recovering from foot surgery, the long-awaited debuts of 2014 draft lottery mates Joel Embiid and Dario Saric assures that the Sixers will begin with a better overall roster than they have had in the previous two seasons.
Still, from a balance stand point, this roster is full of gaps and as other teams start the process of finalizing their rosters it is interesting to talk about what fringe players on other teams might make sense for the Sixers to acquire as part of their continued growing process.
