I believe there is a scenario where the 76ers could realistically create about 20 million in space without giving many assets.
1 Harden opts in immediately following the season.
2. Trade Tobias Harris to the Spurs for McDermott, then trade McDermott into OKC/Ind/POR's capspace, with 2nd round picks
3. Cut Danny Green before his salary becomes guaranteed.
4 Give Korkmaz away to someone with cap space.
Harden 47m, Embiid 34m, Niang 4m, Thybulle 4m, Maxey 3m, Springer 2m, Milton 2m, Joe 2m, Reed 2m, Bassey 2m,
Total= 102 million.
Projected cap 121 million.
But even with all of that, now you have to replace Harris and Green with 19 million dollars. So all of that work would be to just save luxury tax.
Listen to some podcast (i didnt know if it was zach lowe or windy) but there are talks that executives are monitoring the situation and maybe interested to trade Tobi (very possibly we need to hand the team picks or young players for cap absorption)
Yeah that's through Windy.

I think it's going to depend on who our trading partner is and what they're looking for. Some examples:
Dallas: Win-now team, would see him as a contributor and not solely a salary dump. Harris/Shake or Kork for THJ/Powell?
Houston: Absolutely asks for a pick/prospect. Maybe Harris/Springer/2023 ATL/CHA SRP for Gordon/Wood?
Oklahoma City: Sam Presti /
Portland: Could potentially absorb his contract if they strike out on other free agents
San Antonio: Likely ask for a minor asset in a Harris-McDermott swap. Likely fewer assets attached than OKC/HOU.
Utah: See Dallas. Most feasible package is Bojan/Clarkson.
