That happened early in the, with Brand as the GM because the 6ers had already lost to the Celtics, Milwaukee, and some other Eastern conference contender and Brand said it was clear right away that the team wasnt good enough. If they had Kawhi, playing, they probably dont lose to 3 other eastern conference playoff teams within the first like 16 games, and Brand doesnt go make a bold move.
July 8, 20232 yr I think they're just going to let someone make an offer for Reed and either match or let him walk.

July 8, 20232 yr Guys like Saric and Wood are going to be playing on minimum contracts and we sign Pat Bev and Montrezl Harrell......

July 8, 20232 yr 8 mill seems reasonable for Reed. Landale got around 7.5 mill and I think Holmes contract is 12 mill. However looking at those extra terms there is no way they sign Reed to that extension. With Embiid on the team you don't want to screw yourself down the road paying a back up C.

July 8, 20232 yr Wait, reading that back, does that mean the contract is fully guaranteed at 15.7 mill per season or 15.7 mill for both? For both that's actually not bad, but it also depends on how it lets them attack FA and contracts next season

For both that's actually not bad, but it also depends on how it lets them attack FA and contracts next season It’s 8 million fully guaranteed in 2023-24. If the sixers match and make the second round next year then the final two years are guaranteed. But really because the Sixers are gonna be over the luxury tax his $8 million for Joshua Harris is really more like he is paying $22 million because paying him 8 million means have to pay $14 million in Luxury tax. That said the Sixers were going to go over the luxury tax regardless of whether or not, they sign Paul Reed. To be honest if Paul Reed is a good back up center then $8 million each year for three years isn’t all that bad especially if you believe nurse can get more out of him. biggest issue is Joshua Harris not wanting to pay $14 mil in luxury tax. Another issue is the Sixers might not want his $8 million on the books heading into the 2024 off-season as it may prohibit them from having 2 max players slots. And he can’t be traded without his approval for a year which means when free agency starts and if you want to move him you’d need his blessing

I think the 6ers knew this was happening, which is why they signed Bamba and Harrell. But its a good point about who they sign as their backup options, and points to the fact that Daryl is washed.
July 8, 20232 yr They can match this offer sheet and trade someone like Kork or Melton to get under the tax, or whatever happens in a Harden or potential Harris trade.
July 8, 20232 yr 6 minutes ago, HazletonEagle said: No clue who that guy is. However, if the Sixers really are worried about the luxury tax, they can do something where they move Korkmaz’s expiring and a second round pick for like a future second round pick to a team that wants an expiring contract off the books in 2024. And it lowers what they would pay. (Team Like the wizards could do this) Paul Reid at $8 million for a back up center who is competent when the Sixers have had horrific back up centers over the years is really not a bad deal. especially when he’s 24. If you believe Nick nurse could get more out of him but it’s an even better contract. besides Joshua Harris being cheap, I think the biggest issue with this is that I don’t think the Sixers want anybody on the books besides Maxey’s cap hold and Embiid’s contract going into the 2024 off-season. They want close to 2 max money slots. The issue is you don’t really need 2 max players and there might not be two players worth that. You really only want to get one more max money type player and then use the rest of the money to build the rest of the roster around maxey, embiid, and that other max money player.

I mentioned this before free agency that I wouldn’t make moves that hinder my ability to have the massive cap and flexibility in the 2024 off-season. Never thought the sixers would actually abide by that thinking. The Sixers are not better than the bucks, they’re not better than Miami once they get dame (probably not prior either) and they’re not better than the Celtics even before free agency. The fact that they didn’t give harden a long-term contract or even a two-year contract is the biggest win they’ve had this offseason I look at it this way the Sixers could have made moves this off-season, but none of them were gonna put them over the top of those teams (went 7 and that series could’ve been way different without two game winning shots and smart hitting a shot 0.1 after the buzzer) unless they got a star level talent. they’d likely be getting into contracts that hinder their ability in 2024 to just get them to come here to Philly. The 2024 off-season might be absolutely horrific but it also do the opposite. We just don’t know the answer to that right now. Likely ends horrifically cause it’s the sixers. But if I was gonna take my chances on either putting more players on this team that I know isn’t good enough or having that flexibility and cap in 2024 I’m taking the 2024. that’s my only hope in thinking they can win a title is ability to completely turnover the roster and have the cap.

Murray would have been a great signing that would have fitted beside Maxey and he is off the board now. Siakam isn't enough of a playmaker to give the max in my opinion. After those two it's a massive drop off to DeRozen, Fultz, and that is about it. https://www.spotrac.com/nba/free-agents/2024/ufa/?ref=trending-pages Aka team is Fed and just blow it up.
