What happened

NBA general managers voted Philadelphia the league’s best offseason mover, with the 76ers taking 73% of the vote in the league’s annual GM survey released Thursday. Miami was second at 10%, showing how far ahead Philadelphia finished in that category.

The same survey also made the Sixers the hardest team to project for 2026-27 at 27%, reflecting the adjustment needed after adding new stars and reshaping how the starting five fits together. Philadelphia’s first preseason game with all five starters produced 14 first-half misc2?

LINEUP CONTEXT

This points to a likely early-season chemistry and rotation adjustment period rather than a finished product. The preseason turnover issue suggests the main unknown is how quickly the new pieces settle into roles.
