Former NBA all-star Gilbert Arenas discussed the state of the 76ers amid the James Harden drama recently, along with where the franchise is headed under new coach Nick Nurse.
While the focus has been pointed at Harden, Arenas believes that Joel Embiid isn’t blameless in Philadelphia’s struggles to make it to the Eastern Conference Finals and beyond.
