The 76ers are at yet another crossroads.
This summer, Daryl Morey must decide what to do with James Harden, the 2018 MVP with a confounding playoff résumé who has requested a trade. Morey is steadfast in his position not to trade Harden for anything less than a star or a package that can help the team acquire one.
Generally, that would be a reasonable position for the head of a front office to take. But the problem is the clock is ticking on Joel Embiid in more ways than one. Can the Sixers really afford to drag out the Harden saga like they did with Ben Simmons two summers ago? I have my doubts.
