Team Profile:

With MVP Joe Embiid, rising star Tyrese Maxey, James Harden and elite depth, the 76ers are in very nice shape this season. It appears that Harden will be there, which gives Philadelphia a chance to be an elite team. The 76ers may not be in the same league as Boston or Milwaukee, but no team in the conference is, but they are easily in next place.

Player Profile:

James Harden has asked for the most trades in history, which shows the type of teammate he is, which then shows you why he hasn’t won a ring. He’s easily a first-ballot Hall of Famer, but he’s 35, expensive and loud. He’s on what is to me the No. 3 team in the East, so he needs to earn his massive salary and stop whining.

Biggest Strength: Joel Embiid

Biggest Weakness: James Harden’s Whining

Record 56-26, Third in Eastern Conference
