What an offseason for the Sixers. Questions? Concerns? Send them my way and I’ll do my best to answer as many as I can!
Hello, friends. What a freaking offseason, right?
After all the “will they/won’t they” with the Sixers and Paul George, the team ultimately locked up the nine-time All-Star. It was a pretty nice coup to also steal Caleb Martin away from the Miami Heat. Shoring up the bench with veterans like Andre Drummond and Eric Gordon was solid work done by Daryl Morey and company. Taking a late offseason flyer on French forward Guerschon Yabusele was also an intriguing move for a team seemingly lacking size at the four position.
So, the team has 14 guys on standard deals, its three two-way spots filled, plus a couple guys on Exhibit 10 deals. I would expect that 15th roster spot to remain open barring a surprising player becoming available or a guy turning heads in camp.
Set roster, assets to work with, and a human trade exception (that might also help on the court) in KJ Martin. Still, there are plenty of questions and concerns moving forward.
