Lowry, a native of Philadelphia, alumni Villanova, returns home.
The Sixers are currently first in the Eastern Conference, with a 17-7 record in the time of Doc Rivers and Daryl Morey, but no one on the NBA team has a stranglehold in this oddity of a season so far. Joel Embiid has shown himself to be an MVP leader, Tobias Harris should command All-Star’s attention at the absolute minimum, and Ben Simmons, for better or worse, still looks like the same guy he was as a debutant. While the team’s game could improve, Simmons averages 8.0 assists per game, but no matter how great Embiid was, working with Lowry would reduce his offensive workload, give the Sixers someone who would he could create a shot in the last two minutes of the game and give the list a leader he needs.
What people forget about the Embiid and Simmons association is that they were in the best condition in 2018-19 when Jimmy Butler was present to transport the cargo. You could see semifinal statistics against the Raptors that season for you. Lowry could have a similar impact and it looks like Embiid might be ready to take responsibility, but a real guard (who is willing to shoot from outside) would help. Playoff time will count, and Lowry is a proven champion.
As for a real deal, Sixers has several expirations, especially Danny Green’s $ 15.4 million. They have several young tracks, led by Matisse Thybulle, Tyrese Maxey and Shake Milton, each earning less than $ 3 million each this season and have most of the options in the first round in the future that were discussed in the Harden agreement. before leaving for Brooklyn.
They also have Ben Simmons at nearly $ 30 million, and he has peaked by 2025. Again, just saying.
