Offseason Thoughts:
This one is hard because it feels incomplete. Maybe Simmons doesn't get moved this offseason, but what happens there will have a huge impact here. I'll assume he does not get traded for the sake of the exercise.
Biggest move is obviously extending Embiid, which is great for them.
Think they did well in free agency, Don't think they were getting better than Green with the MLE, Korkmaz provides shot creation for them at a fine price. Niang helps stretch the floor. Drummond is good value at that number, but is probably even worse of a fit with Ben than Dwight was. Wish they instead went after someone like Dieng or Dedmon, but maybe those dudes just weren't interested.
Like their draft relative to where they picked, Springer seems to be a good value there.
Grade:
B. Everything was around a c+ except for Embiid and the draft, which I don't give too much weight when you pick at 28 and the 50s.
2022 Prediction:
Top 3 seed in the east
Offseason in gif form

Offseason Thoughts
Well I'll just say it, this feels awkward. Feels like a team who's offseason is incomplete due to a lack of a Ben Simmons trade but if I'm the Sixers I'm not trading Simmons for anything less than what would hopefully be a star (yes assets would be added) as it's likely the last great chance to make a big addition to their roster. So kudos for not being reactionary. Now on to what did happen...
Getting Springer at 28 was pretty darn solid value, and moving on to free agency locking up Embiid was both smart and a big plus for the Sixers future. Having a high end star is crucial to compete and the Sixers keep theirs locked up.
The Drummond signing feels...whatever. He's not someone who should be playing with Simmons (stretch 5 would be really nice here) but he's a fine enough backup if Embiid misses a few games here or there. Korkmaz's contract feels entirely fair and Danny Green remains a very useful role player. Hill just didn't seem to work out in the playoffs at least though I'd admit I wouldn't have minded them keeping him either. And Niang remains an interesting shooting forward option. Nothing here groundbreaking but they were just the 1 seed and they really didn't have to just yet. Overall being patient was probably the right move to me given what they have and need.
