9. Philadelphia 76ers

The Philadelphia 76ers have created a unit of multiple All-Star caliber players, but they still seem to be missing something. For whatever reason, the 76ers have not been playing at the elite level you would expect them to. Standing at fourth in the Eastern Conference, Kevin Durant would take this team to legendary status.

With a transcendent athlete such as Ben Simmons running the point guard, Durant would kill opposing teams. Not to mention the defensive impact of big man Joel Embiid and the work ethic of All-Star Jimmy Butler would push the 76ers into title contention.

This lineup would be star-studded and could compete with any team in the league. Attempting to keep everyone satisfied would likely be more difficult with this roster as they do not have a strong foundation in place, but hopefully, Durant has enough experience to implement a new culture.

Philadelphia is on the brink of turning into a dynasty. Perhaps Durant recognizes this and understands that he might be the missing key to unlocking their championship run. With most of their core under 25 years of age, the 76ers would sit on the throne for quite some time.
