4 Free agents the Philadelphia 76ers could regret not signing

2. A reunion Dario Saric simply made too much sense for the 76ers

I was really hoping to see Dario Saric back in Philadelphia this summer. He was coming off an excellent season with the Warriors, and the Sixers were one of the few teams to have the flexibility to sign him without losing any assets. Saric signed with the Denver Nuggets on a pretty cheap deal, and the 76ers remained without a valid backup option in the power forward position.

For the most part, Caleb Martin will likely play there, especially in closing lineups, but Dario Saric had all the tools to add a different dimension to the 76ers roster. His shooting ability would be able to open the floor for Joel Embiid, while Saric improved his playmaking and scoring inside during the past seasons. On top of that, the Sixers' fans love him after becoming one of the faces in the sacred Process a few years ago.

I'm almost certain that Daryl Morey remains poised to add a more polished option in the forward position, but Saric is off the table considering that he joined a fellow title contender in Denver. Morey should have explored ways to bring the Croatian star back to his beloved Philly. However, he can still make a strong addition with the current trade assets the team possesses.

In any case, the 76ers lack depth at forward, and they will need some additional firepower against the other contending rivals.
