Bullfighting terminology describes the upcoming season for the Philadelphia 76ers as either achieving great success or ending in disappointment. Last season was a complete disaster due to the injuries of Paul George and, especially, Joel Embiid. The Cameroonian doesn't inspire great confidence, but there are reasons for hope.

It is clear that the fate of the Philadelphia 76ers next season will depend on Joel Embiid. The current forecasts are not favorable, and the likely scenario is that the project will fall apart if they cannot get the African center to compete in full condition. However, everything built around him is exciting. Paul George seeks to regain good form, Tyrese Maxey has what it takes to make a quality leap, Jared McCain showed sublime form last year, and VJ Edjecombe possesses amazing potential talent.

Considering how fragile the Eastern Conference is, it would not be unreasonable for them to secure a playoff spot even with a somewhat compromised Joel Embiid, if all these supporting players deliver their best performance. Should the Cameroonian not even be able to compete, unrest could lead the team to a total collapse in search of a comprehensive rebuild looking towards the future, with solid foundations already in place to build upon.
