The Philadelphia 76ers are at an interesting crossroads this offseason with James Harden expected to hit the free-agent market, and ESPN analyst Kendrick Perkins had some strong thoughts when asked about Philadelphia’s direction on Monday’s episode of First Take.
Perkins criticized how the Sixers seem to be focused on retaining Harden and even floated a potential replacement that he believes would improve Philly’s chances of winning a championship.
“We don’t even know who the most important player to that franchise is,” Perkins said. “The way the Philadelphia 76ers are moving, they’re acting like James Harden is their top priority, and that’s not it. They have other options and other players that would love to come and play with Joel Embiid.”
