The Philadelphia 76ers had their title hopes derailed by a relentless slew of injuries last season, but that came with a silver lining.

However, that would fly in the face of what 76ers president of basketball operations Daryl Morey has said on multiple occasions, including after the draft lottery when he said Philly’s “plan is to keep” the pick.

The 76ers have emerged as one of the top candidates to pull of a Kevin Durant trade, but an NBA analyst has advised them against such a move. The post 76ers Urged to ‘Avoid’ Kevin Durant Trade By NBA Veteran appeared first on Heavy Sports.
