76ers not a bargain, even at 9,999-1 odds

LAS VEGAS (AP) — It’s no secret things figure to be bad in Philadelphia this season for a 76ers team doing little but masquerading as an NBA franchise.

Leave it to the oddsmakers in Las Vegas to show just how bad things could be for a team contending for nothing but the NBA’s next top draft pick.

As the NBA season tips off, the over-under for total wins for the 76ers this year is 16.5, the lowest of any team and the lowest that LVH sports book oddsmaker Jeff Sherman can remember putting up on any NBA team in the last decade or so.

Like the 76ers to win it all? The sports book will give you astronomical odds of 9,999-1 on that happening.
