Honestly, I doubt that the 76ers can contend for a title in the upcoming regular season. Even if Paul George finds the right rhythm with his new team and the George-Embiid duo performs well, it will hardly be enough to compete with teams like the Celtics and Bucks in the playoffs.
I wouldn't count the Bucks in anymore, as they struggled significantly last season and were in decline even after Lillard came in, especially with a new coach. I think the real challenge for the 76ers is the Boston Celtics. If the 76ers can face them in the ECF, I believe they have a chance of beating the defending champions. However, Embiid's health is crucial; without him, things will remain the same, even with PG already on board with the team.
as we can see here, 76ers are mostly at the top 3 in the NBA futures.
