Sixers’ road trip will reveal whether they’re rusty or stagnant

No disrespect to the rebuilding Chicago Bulls and Orlando Magic, but they aren't a barometer for the 76ers. So we won't know if, or how much, the Sixers improved this offseason at least until back-to-back road games against the Detroit Pistons and Milwaukee Bucks.

The Sixers (1-1) will visit the Pistons on Tuesday and the Bucks on Wednesday. They should beat the Magic on Saturday night at the Wells Fargo Center on talent alone. That's what they did Thursday night in a 127-108 victory over the Chicago Bulls in their home opener.

No Bulls players who dressed was better than Joel Embiid, Ben Simmons, and even arguably JJ Redick.
