We think mapping it out as best we can with quite a few options, maybe 8-to-12, we think can contribute and might be in the range of what we’re allowed to do. “The CBA constrains us in certain ways so sometimes you don’t get everyone you want because of that. “Josh and David are gonna let us spend whatever we need to spend,” Morey explained. Philadelphia will have to work within the confines of the CBA to figure things out in terms of helping them find the players they need to win a title.
76ERS ROSTER FREE
While Morey and the Sixers have a lot to sell to free agents, there are still money constraints. We’re optimistic about free agency, but we have no idea how that’s gonna play out.” “People love our team, people love playing with Joel, people love playing with James, love playing with Tobias (Harris). They know those two can take games over in the blink of an eye and that is what the Sixers can sell to players to play in Philadelphia. In terms of what they can sell to potential free agents, the Sixers have two stars in Joel Embiid and James Harden who are guys that players want to play with. That’s a little ways away and who knows how it’ll play out.” That includes trading players currently on the roster for draft picks or other players. “We don’t know how it’ll play out, but Josh (Harris) and David (Blitzer) have given us every ability to do whatever we need to do in free agency to make the team better now and hopefully another rotation piece. The NBA draft is just a few days away and the Philadelphia 76ers‘ front office has to consider every scenario.

That has them well over the $122 million soft cap, and a Thybulle trade alone wouldn't clear nearly enough cap space to sign Tucker. 23 overall pick, that would add around $2.5 million to the bill. If Harden opts into his $47.3 million player option for next season, the Sixers will have an active roster bill of $153.4 million with 13 players under contract, per Spotrac. What the Sixers don't have much of, however, is wiggle room on the cap sheet. Not to mention that his familiarity with former teammate James Harden, his proficient shooting from the perimeter (41.5 percent from three last year) and his postseason experience would make him a natural fit for a team in win-now mode. On Tuesday, Tucker reportedly opted out of his player option with the Miami Heat for the upcoming season, making him a free agent.įor the Sixers, he would add a dose of much-needed defensive acumen and toughness.
