Divisive veteran has probably played his last game for the 76ers
Finally, a huge relief for the 76ers.
The Philadelphia 76ers do not have the means to make a wholesale change to the roster in the offseason. Despite a well-pronounced need to do just that, the ample financial ammo they enjoyed last year will be no more. At most, the front office will be restricted to keeping those players who have proven themselves, aside from the usual minimum signings.
Having said that, a change or two is guaranteed at this point. The 76ers have very little reason to cling onto the same roster for the most part, and that is especially true for some of the veterans on the team who have been patently disappointing on all fronts this season.
A point of emphasis for the front office in the offseason is to try and get younger in all positions. Injuries have derailed them time and time again, and going out to sign older commodities is probably a counterproductive thing to do. The teams needs an infusion of young blood, and there are numerous players eager to prove themselves.
Hence, that should spell the end for this divisive veteran.
Kyle Lowry should have already played his last game with the 76ers
Kyle Lowry, whom the 76ers managed to convince to come back for another go-round after turning in a solid short stint last season, has drastically declined in this campaign. While far from unprecedented given his age, there really should not be any more reason for the front office to want him back next season.
