Philadelphia 76ers

Additions: Tobias Harris, James Ennis 

At the NBA Trade Deadline, there was probably not a more active team than the Philadelphia 76ers. The Sixers added Tobias Harris and James Ennis at the deadline, while cutting loose on Markelle Fultz at the buzzer.

The team is now led by the Big 4 of Ben Simmons, Joel Embiid, Jimmy Butler and Harris. Talent is no longer an issue, if it ever was, for this team. And that will no longer be something that the team can revert back to when cranking up the excuse machine.

The Sixers might have the most talented roster in the Eastern Conference, and it’s going to be interesting to see if this team can manage to bring it all together and translate it to on-the-court success over the next few weeks and into the playoffs.

Philly is no longer that young, talent team hoping to surprise teams in the playoffs. This team will now have to live up to expectations.
