We already have an old school undersized big who cant shoot but is at least athletic in Bona. We werent the team that needed a flyer on Broome. We were a team who needed complementary pieces for a roster trying to compete now. We could have used the stretch 5, or the hyper athletic defensive wing that were available.Ace Bailey and an athletic wing certainly would have seemed to make more sense.

Morey said he wanted to be more athletic, so doubling up with the 2 most explosive athletes in the draft would have made some sense. At least he would be doing what he said he wanted to do.He appears to be like other past 6ers GMs at this point- without a plan. Or without the competence to carry it out.

June 27, 20251 yr Well, draft is over. Who are the UDFAs we should hope to see brought in for summer league? Other than Dixon, I know no one.Who is the elite recruit who fell by the wayside somehow a la Justin Edwards last year?

Being undersized and underathletic that becomes much tougher to do in the NBA.
June 27, 20251 yr My only hope for Broome before he is off this team fairly quickly is that he shows Joel Embiid where the hell the damn low post is.

That’s who I was hoping they’d take. These are the exact numbers Broome will put up in the g league next year.

June 27, 20251 yr Well, theyve signed a potential stretch 4/5 albeit a longshot. Milicic is pretty decent but seems to struggle with consistency.The signings so far. Hunter Sallis G Wake ForestIgor Milicic Jr. F TennesseeIzan Almansa F PerthSaint Thomas F USC
June 27, 20251 yr Sixers pickup Igor Milicic, PF/SF, Tennessee on Exhibit 10 deal.The 2025 draft is saved. (Morey still needs to go for the mess he has made.)Milicic is the steal of the year.We will follow Igor Milicic and Hunter Sallis, SG, Wake Forest closely in the Summer Leagues.Who else will the Sixers send?

Sallis and Milicic were 2 of them, and seem to be the only 2 worth watching so far. I want Milicic to stick. Hes a skilled player who looks decently athletic and has a really nice stroke. I dont know what plagued his consistency last year but the stroke should be a reliable one.
June 27, 20251 yr I would imagine they will also send Justin Edwards and Bona again. Not sure about McCain if he is ready to play yet.
June 27, 20251 yr Asking CoPilot AI:how can the sixers sign guershon yabusele?The Sixers can re-sign Guerschon Yabusele—but it won’t be easy. Here’s the situation:🧾 Contract Status Yabusele is now an unrestricted free agent after a strong season in Philly, where he averaged 11 points, 5.6 rebounds, and shot 38% from three. He signed a one-year minimum deal last summer, so the Sixers don’t have full Bird rights to offer him a big raise2.💰 Cap Constraints Philly is tight on cap space. They can only offer Yabusele the taxpayer mid-level exception—about $11.6 million over two years—without triggering a hard cap. If they want to offer more, they’d have to use the non-taxpayer MLE, which would limit their flexibility to re-sign other key players like Quentin Grimes.🧲 Competition The San Antonio Spurs are reportedly very interested. They have a clean cap sheet and could offer Yabusele a much bigger deal—potentially up to $60 million over four years. Plus, he has a strong connection with Spurs star Victor Wembanyama from their time on the French national team3.🗣️ Yabusele’s Take He’s open to staying in Philly, saying: > "If it’s with the 76ers, I’ll be more than happy… If you’ve got to be somewhere else, I’d be happy, too. I just want to be on a team where we compete and have the same goals”.So, for the Sixers to keep him, they’ll need to either:Convince him to take a smaller deal for continuity and role,Or clear cap space to make a more competitive offer.
June 27, 20251 yr More conversation with CoPilot AI:How can the sixers clear cap space?The Sixers are currently $29.7 million over the salary cap for the 2024–25 season, so clearing space to re-sign Guerschon Yabusele—or chase another free agent—would require some bold moves. Here’s how they could do it:🧹 1. Trade a Big ContractPaul George ($49.2M) or Joel Embiid ($51.4M) are massive cap hits, but trading either would be seismic and unlikely.More realistic: move Kelly Oubre Jr. ($7.98M) or Andre Drummond ($5M) to a team with cap space or a trade exception.They also hold three trade exceptions (up to $7.97M) that could help facilitate deals.🧾 2. Waive Non-Guaranteed or Minimum ContractsPlayers like Ricky Council IV, Jared Butler, and Justin Edwards are on partially or non-guaranteed deals. Waiving them could free up $3–4M.Two-way players and end-of-bench guys like David Roddy and Alex Reese could also be cut without penalty.🔁 3. Stretch ProvisionIf they waive a player with guaranteed money (like Eric Gordon), they could stretch his salary over multiple years to reduce the immediate cap hit.🧠 4. Renounce Free AgentsLetting go of cap holds for players like Kyle Lowry and Yabusele himself would open up room—but they’d lose the ability to re-sign them using exceptions.🧮 5. Use the Non-Taxpayer Mid-Level ExceptionIf they can get under the first apron, they unlock the non-taxpayer MLE (~$12.9M), which is more than the taxpayer MLE (~$5.2M). That could be enough to keep Yabusele.

June 27, 20251 yr Asking CoPilot AI:how can the sixers sign quentin grimes? and can they sign both grimes and yabusele?The Sixers can sign Quentin Grimes—and they’re making him their top priority—but signing both Grimes and Guerschon Yabusele will be a serious cap-balancing act.📝 Grimes’ SituationGrimes is a restricted free agent, so Philly can match any offer.He’s expected to command $14–15 million per year, possibly more than the mid-level exception.The Sixers own his Bird rights, meaning they can go over the cap to re-sign him—unless they trigger a hard cap at the first apron.💸 Yabusele’s SituationYabusele is unrestricted and played on a minimum deal last season.He’s projected to get offers up to $60 million over four years from teams like the Spurs.Philly only has non-Bird rights, so they’d need to use the mid-level exception to keep him—which could trigger a hard cap.⚖️ Can They Sign Both?Technically, yes—but it’s very difficult:If the Sixers trigger a hard cap (by using the non-taxpayer MLE or taking back more salary in a trade), they’ll be limited to ~$178 million in total salary.That would make it nearly impossible to re-sign both Grimes and Yabusele without shedding salary elsewhere.If they avoid the hard cap, they can re-sign Grimes using Bird rights and offer Yabusele the taxpayer MLE (~$5.2M/year)—but that’s likely not enough to keep him.🧠 Bottom LineGrimes is staying—the Sixers are committed to him.Yabusele is a maybe—they’d need to either:Convince him to take less money,Or clear cap space by trading players like Oubre or Drummond._____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________I guess I am catching up on what most of the smart folks on the board already know.
