So the Sixers don’t need to free up $2-ish million but more like $12-ish million, which isn’t impossible but isn’t easy either.Įxclusively focusing on the margins, the Sixers would need to move off of Furkan Korkmaz and Matisse Thybulle without taking back salaries, release Isaiah Joe from his unguaranteed contract, and then decline Shake Milton’s team option to free up roughly $13 million, which would unlock the full non-taxpayer mid-level exception and thus open the door for P.J.
How hard could it be to get off that last $1.69 million? Unfortunately, pretty hard, as the Sixers don’t just need to get under the tax apron to have access to the non-taxpayer MLE, they need to remain under the apron after using the $10.669 million exception. Sounds easy enough, right? I mean, Daryl Morey has already submitted a trade, pick 23, and Danny Green for De’Anthony Melton that will trim down the total taxable money by $2.75 million. In order to unlock the full, non-taxpayer mid-level exception, the Philadelphia 76ers need to free up $4.349 million to get under the NBA luxury tax threshold, according to Spotrac. With Danny Green gone and De’Antony Melton forthcoming once the NBA front office okays the deal, is there still a path to acquire the NBA’s reigning Sneaker King? The Philadelphia 76ers still have a path to acquire P.J. Tucker to the three-year, $30 million deal he reportedly wants, according to Keith Pompey of The Philadelphia Inquirer. Tucker, or should I say the team’s ability to sign P.J. Which brings us to the big question at hand: P.J. as a UDFA and Julian Champagnie to a two-way contract, the defining moments of the offseason will now come in free agency, where Daryl Morey will have his final opportunity to fine-tune the roster heading into training camp. While the team did add two more players after pick 58 was announced, signing Michael Foster Jr. We’ve lost way too many to senseless violence.That’s right, despite having the 23rd overall pick thanks to the Brooklyn Nets’ decision to defer their procurement of Philly’s pick until 2023, the Sixers opted to trade the selection, alongside Danny Green for De’Anthony Melton, the 24-year-old previously employed by the Memphis Grizzlies. via Twitter / June 16, 2022Įric Gordon: Sending prayers out to all of the families of the victims and the entire Uvalde, Texas community.
