2025 Sixers Depth Chart:
Maxey/Mccain/Butler
Grimes/Knueppel/Lowry
PG/Edwards/Counsil IV
Oubre/Lyles/Bryant
Embiid/Drummond/Bona
Reasoning for Offseason:
Ideally the sixers could trade PG, but I still think he has some good basketball left in him and it is not worth dumping him and costing us valuable assets. Its better to give him a chance to rebuild his value and he what he is able to do with a healthy season. I think the biggest issue with the sixers was injuries and lack of chemistry. If Joel and george can get healthy, I think this core could be really scary, especially with grimes next to Embiid, George, and Maxey. Chemistry is key here too. Another offseason to learn how to play together could result is a massive boost to the team. ideally, Mccain and Edwards make leaps in their sophmore season, Kneuppell is an instant bench contributer, Drummond has a bounce back season, and Lyles replaces some of what was lost with Yabusele.
