76ers 5th in East? No chance unless Embiid is out for the season

Or Simmons becomes a distraction.
At the moment I would have them 3, over Atlanta.

76ers 5th in East? No chance unless Embiid is out for the season

naw

76ers are a mess with Ben Simmons.  Also unrealistic to believe Embiid will be healthy for more than 65/70 percent of the season.  Maybe even less

did they add anybody good in the offseason?

76ers were the 1-seed with Embiid and Simmons. That's also playing with Brooklyn and Milwaukee who've had superstars/all-stars in them.

I think they'll be a top 3 team in the East, again.

Have no idea about the East with all the changes. Feels like Nets and Bucks are still the top two with bucks the 1 seed record wise. Nets likely 3 seed record wise as they don't try too hard. Everyone else can go from 3-10 (as in end up anywhere).

West is likely Nuggets, Jazz, Clippers, and Suns fighting it out. Lakers, Warriors, Blazers and Mavs rounding things out. Order is up to health.

Health has played a huge part in records of teams. The more teams are defined by their stars the less chance of surviving injuries. Older teams worry me for records but in playoffs it's different, the experience helps.
