Sixers Offseason Thread Part 3

[Stanford]

Feels so good to still have those picks

[kriss73]

I'm not a capologist but:

https://sixers.wiki/Salary+Cap/Philadelphia+76ers+Salary+Cap+Overview

Remove Oubre from the equation: he will be our last signing.

BBPaul +2.3M in cap space = at least 11M salary incoming
Then you sign Maxey (35) and Oubre (8) and then you're hardcapped at the first apron with about 172M in salaries.

But I'm not sure if my math is right LOL

Kinda long, so I'll spoiler it:

Spoiler:

Take out Maxey, Reed, and the Incomplete Roster amounts from his total salary amount:

145.8 - 13.0 - 7.7 - 3.5 = 121.6

Now add back Maxey's max:

121.6 + 35.1 = 156.7

That's for 8 players. Minimum roster size is 14, so let's add 5 minimum contracts before the final larger one:

156.7 + 5*2.1 = 167.2

Now subtract that from the first apron:

178.1 - 167.2 = 10.9

Now, the numbers aren't perfectly precise, but it gives a pretty good sense of things. I'm not sure if the Sixers would be willing to go into the season with only 14 contracts and no space to work with. If so, then an $11M guy might be possible while keeping McCain. At that point, the exact numbers start to matter.

I can see something like this if they don't want to exceed the first apron


with a max vet contract to use at the trade deadline for a prized buyout.

The core is in place - let’s get some connectors!

Possibly, if that $11M guy is clearly the best option. Only having 11 guys with NBA experience + McCain might be a little light, especially with injuries and load-management to consider.

Xavier Tillman perhaps?

I would LOVE Tillman

[mjkvol]

What can I say? It isn't exactly how I would have wanted to do it, but Morey had a plan and carried it out. The Drummond, Gordon, and Oubre signings were brilliant short term gets, so if the PF situation is taken care of (Precious?), this team is set to compete for the next couple of years if it can remain healthy, which is a big 'if'.

The main pluses are not using any draft capital and keeping our rookies, keeping some powder dry and showing a concern for building something that lasts beyond the next couple of years. All in all, a great job by the guy we were told over and over on here was 'washed'.

[AI_Efficiency]

the good part: i like the fit and we spend 0 assets on him.

The bard part: the age and the contract.

We have a two-three year window with embiid, if it doesn't work it's time to rebuild

At least we have the 2028 clippers first and the 2029 clippers swap to potentially speed up that process if it becomes necessary. Those could be big.

[sodmoraes]

A lot of people said that Morey was washed up after the Harden debacle last year, but we ended maxing PG instead of James, which suit us way better, and we have the clipper´s picks, which he will use to get our team stronger. We are in a good spot this year, having a good chance if we get a couple of good vets. IN the end, our window is a couple of years anyways. Embiid is getting old. If we fail, we need to restart and focus the team around maxey. Embiid has a good chance now.

[Kobblehead]

We did it, boys

[Doramas]

I would LOVE Tillman

Tillman is a free agent? No longer with the Celtics?

How much $ do we have left??

So we essentially traded James Harden, dumped PJ Tucker's contract for 2 first round picks, a pick swap, Paul George and the Batum Play-in game.

I think around 2.3M without applying Oubre's Room Exception and Gordon's minimum contract. It could be 10M if we release Reed.

[kriss73]

Maybe the Thunder could be interest to give us back our 2025 pick for Paul Reed plus some seconds?
It would be interesting

Our 2025 is projected very low so...

[Slacktard]

2024-2025: $140.588m (PG: $49.21m, 35% of cap) 34 yo
2025-2026: $154.647m (PG: $51.67m, 33.4% of cap) 35 yo
2026-2027: $170.111m (PG: $54.25m, 31.9% of cap) 36 yo
2027-2028: $187.123m (PG: $56.96m, 30.4% of cap) 37 yo

I know people are worried about his age and money, but we've seen the corpses of NBA players making more than 30% of the cap (because of having resigned with their team and were getting 8% yearly raises be able to get moved. If PG ends up corpse-like I think he'll be moveable. The cap is basically going to go up 10% (max allowed) every year of the new massive TV deal (which is 11 years long)

[Kobblehead]

I hope we find a good landing spot for Paul Reed. Dude worked his ass off while he was here.

[strotorious]

State of the cap and roster based on the announced moves. This is my own math, so it may have a few bugs, but gets us close. For now I'm assuming we renounce all bird rights except Maxey and Martin.

Under contract
Embiid 51.4
George 49.2
Reed 7.7
Drummond 4.8 (estimate)
McCain 4.0
Council 1.8

Additional cap holds
Maxey 13.0
Martin 2.0
Unfilled roster 4.6

Total 138.6
Cap 140.6
Space 2.1

Signings after using all cap space
Oubre - room
Gordon - vet min
Bona - rookie min

Trading/releasing Reed would add 6.5 net of the incomplete roster charge. Renouncing Martin would add 0.8. Doing both would create 9.4 in remaining space.
Up to this point none of these moves would hard cap the team (Oubre is using the room exception, not the MLE), but trading Reed for too much incoming salary would.

Woj just said Klay is deciding between the Lakers and Dallas.
