Can the Sixers afford a super team? Acquiring Kawhi Leonard could be a start | David Murphy

Projecting the NBA offseason is notoriously difficult to do, primarily because so much of what a team is able to accomplish depends on the internal motivations of the individual players involved. We know the maximum amount of money that a player such as LeBron James can sign for, and we know that he will get it if he asks for it.
