While the appeal of acquiring a star-caliber player via trade is one that’s tough to ignore, it seems not everyone is entirely buying into the idea that the 76ers should go that route. Most recently, former guard Lou Williams made the pitch for Philadelphia not to “shake that tree” by bringing in another star.
Interestingly, Williams also made the argument that the 76ers already have a third star in Tobias Harris, which has been a hot-button topic in recent years.
“Philadelphia’s right there in the mix of being a top-three, top-four team in the East, I think they’re going to stay pat right there, so with that said, you don’t really want to shake that tree. You don’t really want to create too much difference in the locker room by trying to bring in another guy,” Williams said on FanDuel TV’s Run It Back show.
