As embarrassing as they are and have been, next year they are likely to put forward a team of Noel, Okafor, Saric, their own top 4 pick, and likely Lakers' top 4-9 pick. AND whatever they can salvage from Embiid.
I don't agree with all of their moves but any team who wasn't contending for real the last few years would kill to have the young talent they accumulated. You can talk about the stench of losing contaminating the team and how free agents would not sign there at the moment, but all it takes is one good year from all the young guns starting next season before Philly becomes attractive.
