The 76ers are coming off a season where they went 54-28 and were the third seed in the Eastern Conference.

They swept the Brooklyn Nets in the first round of the NBA Playoffs but lost to the Boston Celtics in Game 7 of the second round.

Despite having Harden and 2023 MVP Joel Embiid for two seasons, the team has been unable to get out of the second round.

Harden's future with the franchise is unclear, but if he were to stay on the 76ers, the team would still be among the contenders in the Eastern Conference in 2024.

As for Booker, he has spent his entire career with Phoenix and is coming off another sensational year. 

The former Kentucky star averaged 27.8 points, 4.5 rebounds, 5.5 assists and 1.0 steals per contest while shooting 49.4% from the field and 35.1% from the three-point range. 

Just like Harden and the 76ers, the Suns have lost in the second round of the Playoffs for two straight seasons.
