The Philadelphia 76ers led by league MVP Joel Embiid are a real threat to the championship this season. The Game 7 loss to the Boston Celtics, ending their season, must still be fresh in their minds. With the 76ers, however, there is no shortage of drama.

James Harden was a free agent this offseason and had intentions of going elsewhere. The 76ers then asked Harden to opt into the final year of his deal and that they would find a suitable trade for him. After they couldn’t find a proper deal for him, the Sixers announced that they wouldn’t be trading Harden this season.

This caused an outraged Harden to call out the front office of the Sixers and openly call Daryl Morey a liar. This caused a lot of spark in the NBA community. There was no statement from the Sixers, however, regarding this.

Philadelphia 76ers Coach

Nick Nurse is the new head coach of the Philadelphia 76ers. After Doc Rivers spent three years with the team, the front office decided that it was time they headed in a different direction. After the loss to the Celtics, the Sixers and Rivers parted ways and Nick Nurse was announced as head coach in June 2023.

Prior to the Sixers, Nurse was head coach of the Toronto Raptors, where he helped the franchise win their first ever championship in 2019. Nurse is known for his defensive tactics and engages in team play. With a very interactive and player-first coaching style, he has a very strong repo with his players.

The Sixers front office fully believes that Nick Nurse will be the key to unlocking this team’s championship potential. It is a ride-or-die season for the Sixers and you best believe they’ll do everything in their power to lift that elusive trophy. If not, it will be Harden walking out the door first, and soon it will be Embiid, and ‘The Process’ would come to a screeching halt.

Who is the new assistant coach of the 76ers?

Nick Nurse’s coaching staff in Philly includes assistant coaches Bryan Gates, Bobby Jackson, Rico Hines, Matt Brase, Coby Karl, Mike Longabardi and Doug West. However, it is unclear as to who the new addition to this coaching staff is as it has not been announced by the Sixers.

With the roster composed of Joel Embiid, James Harden, Tobias Harris, and P.J. Tucker, the Sixers have the tools required to win the championship.
