From management to coaching, the Philadelphia 76ers<\/a> made wholesale changes this off-season hiring Doc Rivers<\/a><\/strong> as its new Head Coach and Daryl Morey as President of Basketball Operations. The Sixers have been very disappointing the past two seasons after a promising run in 2018 behind Joel Embiid<\/a><\/strong> and Ben Simmons<\/a><\/strong>. Since then, Philadelphia lost in the second round to the Toronto Raptors<\/strong> <\/a>(2019) and first-round to the Boston Celtics<\/strong><\/a> (2020).<\/p>\n

With Morey now in Philadelphia’s front office, the Sixers were very aggressive this Free Agency. The franchise had two goals this off-season: move Al Horford<\/a><\/strong>‘s contract and acquire three-point shooting for spacing around Embiid and Simmons<\/p>\n

After two mediocre off-seasons by General Manager Elton Brand<\/a><\/strong>, the Sixers were much more intentional with their signings. Did Philadelphia achieve its goals? Let’s take a look.<\/p>\n
