The Philadelphia 76ers are in a great spot as they move forward with the offseason. They swung for the fences and hit a home run with the addition of Paul George, they kept Tyrese Maxey in tow, and they added bench pieces in Andre Drummond and Eric Gordon.
Gordon was brought in on a veteran’s minimum deal after a season with the Phoenix Suns and will look to be a helpful addition. The veteran shot 37.8% from deep in the 2023-24 season and averaged 11.0 points. His main role will be to provide spacing for the offense.
While competing internationally for the Bahamas, Gordon spoke with BasketNews and sent a message to Sixers fans after the moves:
“The Sixers fans should be happy. We’re going to be a team to be reckoned with. We look forward to trying to win the championship next year,” Gordon told BasketNews about the recent 76ers moves.
The Sixers will certainly be among the top contenders for the 2024-25 season. Led by George, Maxey, and Joel Embiid, Philadelphia will be in a great position throughout the season. It will come down to health and the depth they possess in order to break through and reach the finals. Gordon will help in that department.
