This was not the season the Philadelphia 76ers wanted, and they’d rather forget it as quickly as possible.
The team ended the season as the 13th squad in the East with a 24-58 record.
Because of a number of nagging injuries, the Sixers never got it together and didn’t even come close to the playoffs.
President of basketball operations Daryl Morey knows how bad things were and has vowed to make it right.
“I’ll just say, personally, I will spend every waking hour figuring out how to turn this team around going into next season,” Morey said, per Keith Pompey.

Morey has his work cut out for him.
To be fair, a lot of the problems with the team weren’t his fault, such as the injuries.
Joel Embiid wasn’t healthy all year, rookie Jared McCain got hurt early on, and Paul George faced a lot of problems, too.
The team definitely had bad luck this year, and Morey had little control over that.
But there are changes he could make that could bolster their chances next season.
Will we see a shakeup with the coaching staff or some smart trades that can give them more reliable stars?
There are whispers of the team attempting to cut ties with Embiid or perhaps finally put an end to his medical problems.
Morey knows he has talent on the team and wants to capitalize on it.
He will do whatever it takes to avoid another season like this one, but it’s not clear just how much control he has over his team’s fate right now.
He now has a long summer break to figure out Philadelphia’s next moves.
