This past NBA season was the dictionary definition of a see-saw experience for the 76ers. They underachieved throughout the regular season despite hitting big on rookie VJ Edgecombe as big-money veterans Joel Embiid and Paul George struggled to stay on the floor. In the playoffs Philadelphia exorcised demons by pulling off a remarkable 3–1 upset of the No. 2 seed Celtics before getting absolutely plastered by the Knicks in a non-competitive second-round sweep. It was, in typical Philly fashion, a wild ride of extreme emotions.
But now it’s over, and ownership wants off the ride.
