For a pleasant change, the Philadelphia 76ers entered training camp this year without any major distractions. No mercurial point guards were sulking their way through trade demands. Instead, they were riding the wave of good vibes that came from an active offseason.
The Sixers turned over a majority of their roster this summer—have fun in Detroit, Tobias!—but their biggest move by far was signing Paul George in free agency. The nine-time All-Star is already drawing rave reviews from head coach Nick Nurse, who was bubbling over with excitement at media day about his versatile new forward.
