Offseason review: Well, Philadelphia’s offseason had good, great and downright terrible moments. First, they drafted Okafor as their potential franchise center. Then they humbled Sacramento by orchestrating one of the most lopsided trades in recent NBA history.Relatively speaking, things looked great for a team not interested in, you know, signing free agents or winning basketball games. Then it was announced that Joel Embiid (a crucial puzzle piece) will miss the entire 2015-16 season thanks to yet another surgery. That’s a tough pill to swallow.

Offseason grade: B

2015-16 season outlook: The Sixers once again will be one of the worst teams in the league. They sat out free agency, instead using their cap space as a dumping ground to take unwanted contracts from other teams. For their trouble, Philly picked up Stauskas, a top-10 protected first-round pick and draft swap rights down the line, but none of those assets will help them win games next season.

Prediction: Eastern conference – 15th
