The Philadelphia 76ers are in some trouble. They cannot seem to find any rhythm since their two stars, Joel Embiid and Paul George, can’t seem to stay healthy.

Former NBA champion, turned ESPN analyst, Kendrick Perkins, believes the 76ers should “hit the reset button.”

“I would hit the reset button all across the board,” Perkins said. “It’s not just trading Joel Embiid and Paul George. I’m also hitting the reset button on who actually paid those guys and jumped the gun.

“It’s time to clean the front office,” Perkins continued. “Let’s be real here. Daryl Morey has not done a great job. Morey knew about these injuries and what Joel Embiid was dealing with, yet he gave Embiid an extension.”

The 76ers may need to listen to Perkins as their current “Process” hasn’t worked. A rebuild is likely to occur in Philadelphia, and that could eventually turn the franchise around.
