The Philadelphia 76ers have a lot of decisions to make in the coming months. Nick Nurse’s team has been decimated by injuries this season. Both Joel Embiid and Paul George have been shut down for the remainder of the season.
According to former champion Danny Green, the Sixers should avoid the temptation to hit the reset button in the summer. Green believes the trio of George, Embiid and Tyrese Maxey is worth persevering with. He also noted and that George and Embiid could potentially remain healthy next season.
“I think we will (see a healthy trio) early in the season next year,” Green said. “If they don’t get it right, there will be something. But I think they have a lot of time from now to the beginning of next season where Joel can get right, PG can get right.
Daryl Morey may want to tweak the supporting cast before he decides to move on from one or more of his star players. However, the injury history of both Embiid and George can’t be ignored. If Morey, or anyone in the front office, isn’t sold on their ability to stay healthy, it may be time to pivot.
Sixers Could Explore Paul George Trade
According to Keith Pompey of The Philadelphia Inquirer, Philadelphia should explore a George trade during the summer.
The 76ers could erase a mistake this summer,” Pompey wrote on March 16. “The move that could help them rediscover their fight, their future, and the hearts of their fans. A team clogged in salary cap misery could find hope, again. A team that became too old after acquiring a 34-year-old superstar could return to being one of the league’s young and emerging teams”
