They have 13 after Reggie. One more to go. Will almost certainly be a PF type.
I'm not saying we're not getting a PF. I'm saying it's not happening now. It's an open roster spot that will be used on a need basis for flexibility. I.E they aren't going to go sign a PF right now like people were hoping.

7. Gordon 1.9M (cap hit)
8. Council 1.9M
9. Lowry 2M (cap hit)
10. McCain 4M
11. Reggie Jackson 1.9M (cap hit)
12. Martin 8.1M
13. Minimum contact 1.9M (cap hit)
14. Minimum contact 1.9M (cap hit)
15. Bona ~1.2M
16. David Jones Two-way

Reggie Jackson is the 13th player on the roster. While that's technically the minimum, league rules do state you have to carry at least 14 for most of the season.
They will sign one more vet min guy before camp.
I see, didn't know that. So why is Daryl saying it's open then. Along with the other stuff he said?

If not, then get Morris, Hayward, or Osman.
They need to remake the Hangover with best friends Morey, Gordon, Nurse and Lowrykriss73 wrote:https://www.facebook.com/RachelNicholsTV/videos/report-on-the-friendship-between-paul-george-and-reggie-jackson-even-in-tough-ti/540627303968014/
Expected.
To sum up:
Morey "best friend" -> Gordon
PG "best friend" -> Reggie Jackson
Nurse "best friend" -> Lowry
Maxey "best friend" -> he is too young to have best friends on minimum contract LOL
Embiid "best friend" -> I predict Lord Cov

Similar to the draft, I guess you take best player available for these league minimum options, then sort it out later. If they see a guy who is a traditional PF, but they know that he isn’t good enough to get on the floor for them, then sign a guard that they might actually play.
However, if they don’t sign Morris, Cov, etc, they will be somewhat backed into the corner. Kevin McHale isn’t walking through that door. They might not have the best options via trade during the season.
Often when this stuff happens, GMs already know what their plan is. He may have his eye on a particular player that he knows he can acquire in January, so he isn’t very concerned at the moment. Meanwhile, we are concerned he doesn’t notice the obvious hole on his roster.
You might be right and at this point I'd probably just sign Morris.sixers hoops wrote:Covi_Marsh wrote:[x] ?s=46[/x]

I would imagine McCain is definitely trade bait if the right deal is there.ProcessDoctor wrote:sixers hoops wrote:Covi_Marsh wrote:[x] ?s=46[/x]

Yea they’re giving themselves one shot only, and that one shot isn’t even that good because they signed KJ to only $8 mil. We’d have to couple 4 vet mins to KJ to get someone making $15-16 mil. Alternatively, you trade McCain or one of Drummond, Oubre, or Caleb. Hopefully they know something we don’t.

But that being said, they have a lot of draft capital and should be able to easily get a better option than Morris or Covington. Here are three ideas in a wide range.
1. Throw all your draft picks and swaps for Herb Jones.
2. Throw medium amount of picks for Tari Eason.
3. Throw a low number of picks for Corey Kispert.
There are other options out there and I'm guessing it won't be one of these three, but if they are serious about winning this year, I don't think it'll be too hard for them to acquire someone better than Morris or Cov.
The problem with Murphy is his contract. He only has one year left and I would imagine you would have to max him or something close to that which would cause a lot issues going into next year.the_process wrote:zaz102 wrote:You might be right and at this point I'd probably just sign Morris.sixers hoops wrote:

I'll take Trey Murphy out of NO, please and thank you.
