The Philadelphia 76ers are going to have to blow their star duo up if they can’t live up to their potential in 2020-21. Not only do the Sixers now have a new coach (Doc Rivers) that has playoff experience, they have a new president (Daryl Morey) that understands the importance of 3-point shooting and building around your stars.
Philadelphia will have a totally revamped roster as they attempt to make a deep run in the 2021 NBA Playoffs.
Sixers Roster Additions
| Player | Transaction |
| Tyrese Maxey | Draft (21st) |
| Isaiah Joe | Draft (49th) |
| Paul Reed | Draft (57th) |
| Danny Green | Trade (OKC) |
| Terrance Ferguson | Trade (OKC) |
| Tony Bradley | Trade (DET) |
| Seth Curry | Trade (DAL) |
| Dwight Howard | Free Agency (LAL) |
| Justin Anderson | Free Agency (BRK) |
| Derrick Walton Jr. | Free Agency (DET) |
Biggest Acquisitions
- Seth Curry: The Philadelphia 76ers have their primary playmaker and pure passer in Ben Simmons but they’ve long needed a modern-day point guard that can excel from the perimeter. Curry, a career .443 percent shooter from deep, fits that description.
- Danny Green: Danny Green is another superb sharpshooter that’ll space the floor for Simmons and Joel Embiid. He also replaced Josh Richardson as a dependable perimeter defender, while having the added benefit of being a three-time NBA champion that knows what it takes to win it all.
Sixers Roster Subtractions
| Player | Transaction |
| Al Horford | Trade (OKC) |
| Josh Richardson | Trade (DAL) |
| Zhaire Smith | Trade (DET) |
| Alec Burks | Free Agency (NYK) |
| Glenn Robinson III | Free Agency (SAC) |
| Raul Neto | Free Agency (WAS) |
| Norvel Pelle | Free Agency |
| Marial Shayok | Free Agency |
| Kyle O’Quinn | Free Agency |
Biggest Losses
- Al Horford: Al Horford didn’t work out in Philly, plain and simple. Despite being one of the most skilled big men in the league, and a two-way player who has made every team he was on prior to landing with the Sixers better, the fit was forced and Philadelphia failed to utilize his talents correctly.
- Josh Richardson: Josh Richardson was once seen as one of the up-and-coming 3-and-D wings and now that the Philadelphia 76ers have moved him, perhaps he’ll re-establish his strong reputation. However, Richardson did do fairly well in his time with the Sixers, averaging 13.7 points per game.
