[Aaronson] This is why our attention now turns to Paul Reed. Sixers could waive him and have $8 million or so in space and then sign a handful of minimum deals, or they could trade him for someone making up to $15 million or so and then sign a handful of minimum deals. Reed is next domino.

I have seen a lot of people saying we have cap space currently to sign players, but as of this moment we do not. It’s only minimums.
If we cut Reed we will have around 8 million to use on free agents.
If we trade Reed we can take back up to 15 million.
Without either of those things occurring we can only sign minimum contracts.
Unpopular name i wouldn’t be upset about is Taurean prince
This isn’t right. None of the deals we have agreed to can actually be signed until July 6th. All it takes to have cap space is order of operations that ends with Maxey’s new contract.
I want to see Reed go be great on another team. I’m content with the fact that Reed train is over in Philly.
Just curious about reeds contract if we trade him is the contract guaranteed or can it stay non guaranteed and new team could waive him straight away. Reports are lakers looking to shed salary for derozan could we use reed to get say Vanderbilt / Vincent allowing lakers to free up some salary
Sixers have ~$2.7M of cap space currently with Reed (basically a minimum), ~$9.3M of cap space if they cut reed, or can take back salary of about $15M ($7.7M reeds salary + $7.5M since we are an under the first apron team) if we trade him 1 for 1.. toss in McCain and it’s ~$19M we can take back.
Thats the most simplistic breakdown.
Waiving him would be really weird. Even trading him for someone awful making 15 million on a 1 year deal would make more sense, at least get some salary ballast for a future trade
This dude looks like a discount version of that guy from the Lonely Island.
This is where Daryl & Elton can show off their genius

Trade for Precious Achiuwa via a knicks sign and trade? He’s a big athletic PF that can rebound.
Knicks need a back up C as they lost iHart
Everybody saying we should package Mccain…please dont do this before seeing what we have in him, you fuckers wont shut up about it if we get rig of him for some average PF and he turns into mikal bridges
This is going to ruin the Paul Reed victory tour

So reed in a package for Lauri or whoever of that caliber…or keep him and move him to the 4 since we have Drummond now as backup (and include him in a trade next year when more talent comes available)…?
At least we’ll always have his performance against Denver 🥹
And we get to keep Drummond. Our squad is better than 2011 Miami heat. OUR BIG THREE IS BETTER THAN PRIME LEBRON, WADE, and bosh. They were forced to have all minimums with them. We got a better bench than them already…. Add in markanen and we GOLDEN
Bobby Portis time
Wow people want to trade McCain??? I am so glad Morey is running things.
As a casual, the NBA salary cap is fucking flabbergasting.
Correct me if I’m wrong, but isn’t this offseason our only real chance to add another impact player since we’re still operating as an under the cap team? I assumed next off-season we will immediately be over the salary cap with PG, Embiid and Maxeys contracts, which will only allow us to sign veteran minimum players.
