That was a good team .... Unfortunately they did not win more championships
That team didn't win any championships. The one in '83 was before Barkley got drafted. It's a real shame they wasted that window. Should have kept that team together and drafted Brad Daugherty instead of blowing it all up and getting nothing in return.
Yep. Harold Katz.... idiot
Had he not given up that draft choice, then the Sixers would have been in a position to continue their run after the '83 Championship,
I think you are mistaken on the Olajuwon pick. That was the same draft as Barkley.
They got Barkley and Leon Wood with top 10 picks in ‘84. It’s a shame Wood didn’t pan out as a player. And they still had the pick that ended up being number one overall in ‘86.
They should have drafted Daugherty to pair with Barkley.
The '84 draft was the infamous one. The Rockets again had the #1 pick in the draft, and picked Hakeem. The Trailblazers had the #2 pick (having lost the flip for the #1 pick), and took Sam Bowie. The Bulls had the #3 pick, and took MJ. The Mavericks had the #4 pick (from Cleveland), and took Sam Perkins. The Sixers had the #5 pick (from a '78 trade of World B. Free to the Clippers), and took Sir Charles. The Sixers also had the #10 pick in the draft (which they had received as part of the McGinnis trade with Denver in '78).

Yeah, he was otherworldly when he was in the ABA. Connie Hawkins was the same way, an All-NBA player who was much, much better before he entered the league.I was at Dr J's 2nd home game as a 76er. At the time, he played the game at another level. We left the Spectrum that night with high hopes for the 76ers that season and into the future.
Somewhat the same for David Thompson; started in the ABA and came over when the merger happened, after one pro year. He had a few spectacular years, but drugs quickly took their toll.Yeah, he was otherworldly when he was in the ABA.

I don’t know how much help Johnson would be now but at his best he was a wonderful player with one of the smoothest jump shots ever, a beautiful player.Former NBA All-Star Joe Johnson is in Philadelphia preparing for a workout Thursday with the 76ers, a source told ESPN's The Undefeated.
Johnson, 38, also is receiving interest for potential workouts from the LA Clippers, the Milwaukee Bucks, the Denver Nuggets and the New Orleans Pelicans. Pelicans head coach Alvin Gentry and vice president David Griffin watched Johnson play in the Big3 league in New Orleans last week.
Johnson was a seven-time NBA All-Star who averaged 16 points, 4.0 rebounds and 3.9 assists per game from 2001 to 2018, playing for seven teams.
Johnson most recently played in the NBA during the 2017-18 season with the Utah Jazz and Houston Rockets.
Johnson returning to the NBA through the Big3 would be huge for the three-year-old league, because it has not previously had a player sign with the NBA.
