I think Sixers will get to the finals this year since with butler, Simmons, Harris, Embiid they are really unstoppable and have a lot of all-star level talent. Of course they will lose against warriors for sure but at least they will get to finals.
There are lots of the team on the East which can give them a difficult path to finals.
I see the recent trade favored the Sixers as it will give more firepower to the current roster, including the bench revamp because of the addition of giant Boban Marjanovic, but still I can't see a clear chances for them to reached the finals
"100%". For the record and I will give some examples, Boston Celtics, Toronto Raptors and Milwaukee Bucks are playing in a different level during season and playoffs. These teams also have a changed in rosters (
e.gnow w/Kyrie, now w/Leonard, w/ improved Giannis) so expect that it's not the same team before during the last playoffs.
But of course, let's not closed the book. Surely Sixers is one of the strong contenders in the East. Joel Embiid is doing well in their recent games. He is really pushing his goal this season
(if you guys remember) that he wants to win the season MVP title this year.
