Before the 2024-25 season, the Philadelphia 76ers had a relatively successful offseason by luring Paul George to Philly in free agency.

To say the Philadelphia 76ers’ 2024-25 season has been disappointing is a massive understatement.

PHILADELPHIA — A championship has been out of the 2024-25 Philadelphia 76ers’ reach for some time now.

Stephen A. Smith hasn’t been a stranger to criticizing the Philadelphia 76ers. This time, his criticism is pointed at 76ers general manager Daryl Morey.
