The Sixers current slogan is "together we build." The team traded its best player in the offseason, and are building with youth and the draft. It may mean wins in the future, but for now, it means a lot of losses, and a lots of empty seats.

You won't see him in the Sixers starting lineup any time soon, but first round pick Nerlens Noel is going to be doing more on the court.
Young hit the final big shot in a fourth quarter loaded with back-and-forth baskets, a contested jumper from the left of the arc off a feed from Michael-Carter Williams.
The 76ers will look to get back on track tonight as they welcome the Charlotte Bobcats to South Philadelphia.
The Sixers could be adding a lottery pick to the lineup, and sooner than next season.
