The Philadelphia 76ers started the season with rookie T.J. McConnell and sophomore Isaiah Canaan sharing the role of point guard for majority of the Sixers first 31 games. This resulted in a single victory, but countless of articles, tweets, and angry rants about the pathetic disgrace the Sixers have become. When the Sixers traded their 2016 second round pick from the Denver Nuggets and their own 2017 second round pick to the New Orleans Pelicans for point guard Ish Smith on December 24, 2015, the Sixers went from the worst team in history of all professional American sports up to merely a bad NBA team.
