Angst seems to be at an all-time high on Sixers Twitter as of late. Between recent losses to the Boston Celtics, Miami Heat and Dallas Mavericks and the steady stream of rumors suggesting James Harden might leave this summer to sign with the Houston Rockets in free agency, it’s hard to blame any fan for feeling frustrated.
This season is likely to end with another second-round playoff exit (at best), which would raise some existential questions about the long-term viability of this core. Harden’s future might not be the only painful decision that the Sixers have to confront this offseason.
