Joe Giglio says the Philadelphia 76ers should "avoid the trap" of trying to win the NBA Championship in 2025-26 and plan for the future.
"I hope the Sixers avoid the trap of trying to go win the title next year," Giglio said on Monday's 94WIP Midday Show with Hugh Douglas. "The best way the Sixers can win a championship is to stop trying to win a championship. If they go all in on Embiid and George again—I mean come on, guys. It's not going to work. It's not."
With key injuries in the Eastern Conference to star players like Jayson Tatum of the Celtics, Damian Lillard of the Bucks and Tyrese Haliburton of the Pacers affecting their status for next season, the East is wide open.
FanDuel Sportsbook lists the Sixers at 33-1 to win the 2025-26 NBA Championship.
The Sixers have the No. 3 overall pick in the NBA Draft on Wednesday.
