The Sixers are facing significant changes this season as they aim to build an NBA championship contender around Joel Embiid and Tyrese Maxey. With an expired contract for players like Kelly Oubre Jr., Kyle Lowry, and Nic Batum, Team president Daryl Morey has $65 million in salary cap space to work with. The focus is on acquiring the best players that fit with Embiid and Maxey for a championship run.

Despite a history of injuries limiting Embiid's playing time, including a season-ending knee surgery, the team is looking to improve depth and develop a stronger roster for a successful campaign. Tyrese Maxey emerged as a key player with an All-Star berth and the NBA's Most Improved Player award. The Sixers are preparing for the upcoming draft with the 16th overall pick while keeping all options open for potential trades and future prospects.

Embiid's involvement with USA Basketball at the Paris Olympics is on the horizon, reflecting his commitment and determination to represent the country. The Sixers are supportive of Embiid's aspirations and are focused on bringing the team closer to competing for championships in the upcoming season.
