I know, I know, I know... the Sixers can't even tank right! I've heard the joke several times, and I get it. The Sixers were supposed to lose as much as possible this year in an attempt to get a great draft pick and (maybe) Andrew Wiggins. And here they are, 3-0, screwing it all up.

The Sixers cut their roster down to 16 by cutting four players, including Royce White and Khalif Wyatt.
