Daily News | Sixers don’t need to win the offseason to win a post-LeBron Eastern Conference
The Eastern Conference is as open as it has ever been. Any discussion about the Sixers’ offseason needs to start there. It’s a good thing. A great thing, really. Desperation rarely leads to good decision making. The Sixers have an opportunity to make some immensely consequential decisions this offseason. Things are not nearly as desperate as they seem.
The question is different now. But the difference has yet to sink in. At least, that’s my theory. The LeBron years conditioned us to think about the NBA Finals as an all-or-nothing thing. It took a special kind of team to make the Finals. If a team didn’t come close, it wasn’t close to being a special kind of team. This year, the Sixers didn’t come any closer to the Finals than they did in their first year of this era, nor in the three years in between.
I’ve been steadily talking myself into something, and I think that I’m finally all the way there. The Sixers’ current straits may be bad for the psyche of their fan base, not to mention media members responsible for making sense of them. But they are good for the NBA, and the Eastern Conference, and the sport in general. And, in the long run, the Sixers’ current situation is good for themselves.
