the 76ers according to reports are interested in these players right here and some of them fulfill big needs on this Sixers roster Caleb Martin formerly of the Miami Heat Marcus Morris who last played for the Cleveland Cavaliers and that played for the Sixers following the James Harden trade Haywood heith who was a Sixers process Legend several years ago and then Reggie Bullock a three and D Wing

of this program which launched in 2021 all the support that we’ve gotten has been incredible the views have been impeccable and the subscribers have really gathered momentum and picked up steam so make sure you hit that sub button if you like the show what we try to do every day is give you insightful informative entertaining thought-provoking Sixers cont content that involves you the fan let’s start off here with talking about Caleb Martin decided to not opt into his contract with the Miami Heap he was an opt out because he thought as though if he hit the free agency market number one he was going to have suitors and potentially number two he was going to have an opportunity to make some more money was really good for the Miami Heat in the playoffs two years ago especially in the Eastern Conference Finals against the Boston Celtics cooled off a little bit in the NBA finals but you got a glimpse of what he’s capable of at that Wing Spot for a player who is Crafty and getting to the rim can knock down the three and is a good Defender at that size of 65205 here’s a Barry Jackson of the Miami Herold said about Maron the 76ers have had discussions with heat free agent Caleb Martin as they scan the free agency market for options to fill their roster according to a league Source a lot of it is going to come down to the price tag for Caleb Martin I think A team out there would be willing and able to pay him between1 to13 million per year right now Philadelphia is a little bit tight on cash where if they give them that much money they won’t be able to fill out the rest of their team you look at his numbers over the last four years his best shooting campaign came in 2021 2022 when he averaged nine points on 50.7% shooting 41% from three the three-point number numers have gone down the last two years I think he’s a better three-point knockdown shooter than 35% which is what he shot last year as he was a little bit hot and cold maybe pressing a little bit looking to get that new deal I think that he can hover between 37 and 40% the big thing with him the shot making when he’s on and the defense which is always a constant chip Caleb Martin interesting player here a part of that heat culture he’s been in a lot of big playoff games played in some huge NCAA tournament games alongside his brother back several years ago for Nevada what do you think about Kay larton and his potential fit with the Sixers yeah and that playoff experience is exactly why I like the idea of adding Caleb Martin we saw in that run that he made to the finals I mean he was tremendous in that playoff run just knocking down shots left and right sort of had an outof body experience and the hope for a lot of Heat fans was that that would carry in into this past season and it it really didn’t he kind of took a little bit of a step back wasn’t able to demand as much of an offensive load as he was during that playoff run but still a solid player nonetheless now I’m not sure if Caleb Martin fulfills the Sixers need at starting four because he is only 6′ five 6’6 and is it going to be that big rebounder that maybe some Sixers fans would hope at that four position he’s more of a three in my opinion he’s again he doesn’t have that height and he’s not going to you know be a crazy rebounder I think he’d be a great first Off the Bench Wing Defender Off the Bench that could certainly play in closing lineups depending on the matchups and who you’re playing will be a little more pricey than some of the other other people on this list so Sixers about10 million left in salary cap space and that could be like their last move they make before signing some other vet Min targets so keep an eye on Caleb Martin again some solid Seasons with the heat could hopefully get that three-point number back up and who knows could be Sol for the Sixers in the playoffs yeah a couple of things with him to additionally he could go to a team where he could start he’s not going to start for Philadelphia he could go to a team to make some more money which he might not be able to do with Philadelphia he could return to the Miami Heat now the Miami Heat signing Alec Burks does that signal the end of needing a score like Caleb Martin we’ll certainly see player number two who we want to talk about here on the show is a former shorttime sixer Philadelphia native went to Prep charter Kansas Legend been in the NBA for a long time he’s now already in his mid-30s time has flown I’ll tell you that Marcus Morris senior and we know what he can bring to the table I thought with Philadelphia after the James Harden trade when he was thrust into the lineup when he actually played especially when some injuries happen hit some big shots he played okay this could be the fourman for Philadelphia it’s not ideal to have an older player starting on this team with championship aspirations you ideally want to bring him in Off the Bench but it’s part of the predicament that the six are in here because as chip said they don’t have a lot of cap space Keith Pompei Philadelphia inquir saying this according to sources Sixers have expressed interest in bringing back Philly native Marcus Morris senior and he’s played good ball in recent years he’s played good ball on some solid Clippers teams as evidenced by the Numbers here 13 15 11 points per game this past year though just didn’t see as much time as Seasons prior has the mid-range can knocked down the three you know he’s always going to be North Philly tough he’ll get in your grill and defend you he’s not the player obviously that he once was in his prime but this is a player chip who you can get on the vet men no doubt about it yeah no doubt and ideally I think again this is a player that you wouldn’t want to start but he was solid for Philadelphia obviously he’s going to bring that you know Philly toughness that mentality the fans love him he knows what it’s like to play here of course so you know if you sign somebody else like a Caleb Martin that you need a backup for I wouldn’t mind Morris at all he’s to get his shots up hopefully be efficient when he does take those shots it’s tough so can play a little bit of Defense not the most laterally quick player and not a you know big player it’s going to really defend at The Rim or grab too many rebounds as well but when it comes to solid depth pieces that championship teams need as they’re making those runs that eighth ninth 10th guy off the bench Marcus Morris could certainly fill that role familiar with the city for vetman 100% I’d love to bring in Marcus Morris so we’ve talked about Mar marus Morris we talked about Caleb Martin next up on the show we want to talk about I’m not going to call him like an outright 76ers process Legend and when I say Legend I say that tongue and cheek obviously sarcastically but Heywood heith went to Wheeling University okay not a basketball Powerhouse by any means and a lot of people are aware of his story he played for the Delaware Blue coats in 2018 2019 and a couple of games with the 76ers in 2019 depending on how you look at the timeline of the process you can look at that as the end of the process depending on when you think it ended for me it’s kind of in the early portion of the process it’s post Sam hanky but that’s when the Sixers like started to win and pick up steam and Joel embiid and Ben Simmons were kind of established players at that point but Haywood heith he was around all the way back then and played over the last couple of years with the Miami Heat since 2021 Keith Pompei of the Philadelphia inquire once again with the reporting on this front the Sixers have been in discussions with Miami Heat free agent and former sixer Haywood heith as a free agent option he would probably get 10 to 15 minutes per night on the Sixers team and maybe 10 to 15 minutes is a little bit too much now when Jimmy Butler did get hurt in the NBA Playoffs or in the NBA playing tournament when Kelly UB injured his knee by accident and then he missed that first round Series against Boston Haywood heith was thrust into the lineup by Eric spola he saw some decent time in that one game that the Heat won when they shot the lights out in that first round Series against Boston Haywood heith able to hit a couple of big shots in that ball game six points per game last year three rebounds 46 half% from the field almost 40% from three-point range but what’s the theme of today’s show and what’s the theme right now in moving forward for the 76ers free agency period when you’re paying Max contracts to three different players and darl Mur does have a three star Theory where the more stars that you have the better opportunity you have to win a championship but embiid Paul George Tyrese Maxi they’re all making Maxes so realistically you just don’t have a lot of money left to fill out the rest of your team you want to avoid the restrictions of that second apron which is why you’re looking at players of this level and honestly Kay La Martin might be too expensive for Philadelphia because of the quality of player that he is yeah and Haywood heith has has come a long way since he started his career with the Sixers really developed into a solid off ball standing the corner three-point shooter and he plays very solid defense I think you know much better than Marcus Morris is GNA play Caleb Martin’s a good Defender as well but Heywood heith going to cost way less than a player like Caleb Martin and coming off the bench again for the heat been a pretty Dependable role player going to always play solid def defense and going to be able to catch and shoot off that three-point shot he’s another guy that again you get close to that you know first apron close to that salary cap space you need vet mins could he be a vetman guy he might demand a little bit more than that because of what he showed for the Heat last year but again Sixers with about 9 million in cap space so you shell out 5 million over a couple years to Haywood heith going to be a tough player going to defend be physical so Heywood iith sixer is obviously interested in him so keep an eye on him and these other guys as well over the next couple of days I expect they sign one of these four that we’ll talk about here and then finally a couple of years ago I was a fan of Reggie Bullock I thought he did a good job of being a stickler on the defensive end of the floor knocking down some threes when he was playing alongside Luca donic I thought he was a good fit on that team because he fit in well given the roster construction there he hovered around the three-point Arc and he could knock down that three ball give you some solid defense he did play for the Houston Rockets last year and barely played only 44 games with zero starts he only got 9 and 1 half minutes per he’s looking to continue his NBA career I’m not sure how much gas he has left in the tank after a couple of several years there and trying to really earn his way on some NBA rosters and then he became a really good rotation player and a starter for a couple of teams Kelly iiko saying that Rockets Wing Reggie Bullock uh is unlikely to return to Houston multiple playoff teams have expressed interest in the veteran Sharpshooter bulock is has met with the Suns Nuggets Clippers and 76ers so far so that’s a meeting that we know about more expected in the coming days what you always want to look at for Reggie Bullock what are the three-point numbers because outside of Chuck in the triple he’s not really going to give you much outside of that 2020 2021 41% from three with the New York Knicks he goes to the Mavericks 36% and 38% in the two years there where he’s playing a lot of games and then last year seldom used by Houston does he some have something left in the tank here chip can he contribute to this team it would be a player with size who can defend who can knock down the three for Philadelphia yeah look I’m gonna be honest I think Reggie Bullock if you sign him wouldn’t really crack the rotation he’s definitely a vet Min Target here and a pretty typical Daryl Mur signing you know a veteran who’s getting up there in age has shown the ability to shoot the three he could come in and spurts give you four five minutes here and there and hopefully be able to knock down some threes but getting up there in age doesn’t give you anything else outside of that three-point shot so you know it makes sense as a vetman signing last guy in your roster type of thing but not a player I would expect to really make much of an impact for the Sixers if they were to goow out inside him godspeed in the comment section during our live show saying Reggie bulock is Daniel house without handles hard pass honestly it’s not a bad depiction of who he is at this point we talked about four players on today’s show now it’s time for you to get into the com comment section and pick one who you want the Sixers to sign who do you like the most here Caleb Martin Haywood heith Marcus Morris Reggie Bullock as you venture down to the comment section please make sure you hit that subscribe button let’s get the 20,000
