Philadelphia 76ers DVOA, Stats, & NBA Rankings

According to ESPN's Jonathan Givony, "some teams" around the NBA "expect the Sixers to be active in trade conversations" ahead of the 2025 Draft. Philly owns the No. 3 overall selection. However, the front office is rumored to dangle that pick in potential deals involving Phoenix Suns forward Kevin Durant or Utah Jazz forward Lauri Markkanen. Interestingly enough, a name mentioned in possible swaps with the aforementioned teams is Paul George. The 35-year-old signed a four-year, $212 million contract last offseason. Unfortunately, George struggled to stay healthy, logging only 41 games due to various ailments. He also took a step backward in terms of production, averaging 16.2 points, one of the worst marks of his career. It appears George isn't a lock to remain on the roster. Regardless, his days of playing at an All-Star level may be over, and his inability to stay on the floor makes him an even bigger risk for fantasy managers, no matter what uniform he's wearing in October.

Philadelphia 76ers guard Kyle Lowry just finished out the remaining year on his contract and will be a free agent this summer. When asked about his plans next season, the Villanova product said he'd like to play one more year. Whether that's in Philly or not remains to be seen. He appeared in 35 games this season and averaged 3.9 points, 2.7 assists, and 1.9 rebounds across 18.8 minutes per game. He played more of a veteran mentor type of role on the bench for Tyrese Maxey and Jared McCain. If he accepts the veteran minimum, head coach Nick Nurse may welcome that type of help from a player-coach, but his value doesn't go much higher than that.

Philadelphia 76ers forward Guerschon Yabusele made a huge impression during the 2024 Olympics, which turned into a contract offer from Daryl Morey and the Sixers' front office. In his first season back in the NBA since 2018-19, Yabusele delivered with averages of 11.0 points, 5.6 rebounds, 2.1 assists, and 1.5 threes per game. He played a solid complementary game to Joel Embiid when he was able to play, and filled a backup role that the team sorely missed. In a press conference, Daryl Morey said that they loved what Yabusele brought to the team and they would like to retain him this offseason.
