After Harden left the 76ers, the team's ranking surprisingly climbed to fourth in the Eastern Conference. The collaboration between Embiid and Maxey has been exemplary. Is Harden a detriment to the team? Do you think the Lakers have a good chance of making the playoffs?

This gets said every year but I honestly believe this is the year where Sixers finally have a deep playoff run. I think Tyrese Maxey is going to be invaluable as the #2 option on the team and he seems like the kind of guy that would be a playoff riser

I still think they need 1 more player in the mix. In the playoffs teams are still going to double Embiid. Which puts the pressure on Maxey & Harris. Harris has a history of not showing up, and it's hard to expect Maxey to go crazy every game.

And Boston is still a bad matchup for them. Double Embiid, Jrue on Maxey. They can't depend on Harris & Melton to bail them out.

I think they need one more piece in there for when Harris or Maxey have an off scoring night.
