Solid article, agreed with all of it. What struck me is that almost all of these ideas involved shuffling around minimum contracts. The front office hit on two vet minimum guys last year (Kelly and Pat Bev) and talked themselves into making that their entire strategy.
I come into these articles trying to disagree so I’m not in an echo chamber but MoC raises some legitimate points that would inject some life into the team for the sake of the team and the fans watching.
Great content from MoC as always. One question of the final paragraph: aren't the Sixers unable to send out more than one player in a trade because of the new CBA? I thought they were not permitted to combine players/salaries going out to trade for players.
They are not in that category right now, no. They are 6 million under the second apron, which I'm sure they want to be careful they do not cross prior to the deadline so they can combine salaries in trades.
