Philadelphia needed to keep pace with the likes of the Boston Celtics and New York Knicks this summer, basically overhauling the roster around their superstar tandem of Joel Embiid and Tyrese Maxey to boost their overall stock and inch closer towards that elusive title. 

There was arguably no greater acquisition across the entire Association than the Sixers luring nine-time All-Star Paul George away from the Los Angeles Clippers to establish a new powerhouse Big Three and provide insurance when Embiid inevitably needs to miss some outings. It's the type of move that proves how serious the organization is about becoming champions, and perhaps the final bullet in the chamber to make this all work. 

Best Bet: Philadelphia 76ers To Win NBA Championship, +1000

It's quite the leap from having not gotten out of the Eastern Conference semifinals since the beginning of "The Process" to suddenly hoisting the Larry O'Brien Trophy, but the moves Philadelphia's front office has made beyond even just landing George bolstered what was already a formidable squad and created one of the strongest depth charts going today.

The Sixers are now loaded at each of their primary positions, with Maxey running the point, George at the wing, and Embiid the man in the middle, with notable backups behind each of them. Ultimately, though, Philly's success rests on the health of Embiid, because even the inclusion of George doesn't boost the team's ceiling enough to compensate for the 7-footer being absent or even hobbled if that turns out to be the case. It's a machine that needs all of its parts functioning to operate effectively. 

If they're all out there on the hardwood, they'll be hard to knock off in a seven-game series. All an optimist does is hope for the best, and the Sixers are just too stacked to not make positive strides. With a unique champion being crowned six years running, who says Philadelphia can't be next up?

Last season's 47-35 win was a seven-win decline from the year prior, with Philly going 16-27 when Embiid was sidelined. A 53-win season, at least, would result in a winning percentage of .648, and the Sixers have toppled that in two of the last four seasons.

Best Bet: OVER 52.5 Wins, +108

Yes, Philadelphia isn't winning a title without Embiid, but it can still be a top-four team in the Eastern Conference vying for home-court advantage with George serving as a contingency plan.

New veterans like Eric Gordon and Andre Drummond still have more than enough gas in the tank, Caleb Martin and Reggie Jackson have partook in significant postseason runs as of late and know how to win, and the world just witnessed Guerschon Yabusele put on a show in Paris during the Olympic games.

Best Bet: Joel Embiid For NBA Most Valuable Player, +750

Embiid is a former recipient of the award in 2023 and could have very easily found himself being a back-to-back winner had he met the 65-game threshold to be eligible for end-of-season recognition. 

He averaged more points per game during both the regular (34.7) and postseason (33) than any other player, but again, didn't meet the criteria to be credited as such. When hovering around 100 percent health, Embiid is arguably the most unstoppable force in all of basketball, mixing an outside game with elite dribbling and post work for a man of his size. 

Such a bet comes with risk, though, as Embiid would need to play enough times to put himself in the conversation, and that's easier said than done. For now, at 7.5-to-1 odds, sprinkling even a little on an MVP win could pay off down the road. The field is deep, and injuries will continue to remain in the back of everyone's mind, but if all checks out, this wager could be a slam dunk.
