NBA Free Agency: Philadelphia 76ers Have Evan Turner, Now What?

Surprising no one, the Philadelphia 76ers used their No. 2 pick to scoop up Ohio State shooting guard Evan Turner.

In doing this, the 76ers pretty much cemented their back court for the next 10 or so years. Turner will be paired with rising 76ers point guard Jrue Holiday, who proved his skill last season for the team.

Together, Turner and Holiday are expected to enhance the 76ers back court, something the team is currently lacking.

Next up for the 76ers? Improving their front court, of course.

The 76ers' weaknesses are mostly rebounding and defense. The addition of Turner will help with both, but the fact is that they need to make some moves to improve their front court if they want a serious shot at the playoffs next season.

The first move they already made to improve was trading Samuel Dalembert.

Dalembert was only ever full of negativity, and it's been clear that he has wanted out of Philly for a while now. With the trade of Dalembert, the 76ers acquired Spencer Hawes and Andres Nocioni.

Hawes and Nocioni will both provide more front court depth. Hawes is a seven-foot center who brings versatility to the center position, and had an average of 6.1 rebounds last season. Nocioni offers his veteran experience and knowledge to the 76ers' game.

To make up for the trade of Dalembert, the 76ers should look at possible free agents Channing Frye and Udonis Haslem. Both power forwards, the two would provide further depth to the 76ers' front court.

The 76ers might also want to keep an eye on free agent Drew Gooden, whose strength comes in blocking shots.

No matter what the 76ers end up doing in the rest of the offseason, we know that in order to have a serious shot at reclaiming their top spot in the league they have some serious improvements to make. How they decide to accomplish this will be interesting indeed.
