The 76 people have a salary space of nearly 60 million dollars in the off-season this year. They have great operational flexibility and are expected to find a new partner for Enbid and Maxi. On May 24, Beijing time, Jack Fischer reported on the recruiting strategy of the 76ers. George is still the preferred target of the 76ers, but the team will also evaluate other options. It is possible to recruit Clay and Pop with a 1+1 contract. In addition, Arnold, Raven, Kuzma and others are all considered by Philadelphia.
1+1 contract recruitment of Clay and Pop
Fischer said that sources said that the Pacers signed Bruce Brown with a 1+1 contract (45 million for two years, team option for the next year), and then traded Brown as one of the main salary chips for Siakam, which attracted the attention of 76 people. They also want to recruit Clay and Pop with similar 1+1 contracts.
Clay will become a completely free player this summer. This season, Clay averaged 17.9 points, 3.3 rebounds, 2.3 assists, and 38.7% of his 3-point shooting rate. Popp is eligible to jump out of his contract this summer. He has a player option worth 15.44 million in the 2024-25 season. This season, Pop averaged 10.1 points, 2.4 rebounds and 2.4 assists, with a three point shooting rate of 40.6%.
George is still the first choice, plan B has been prepared
The 76 people have been interested in George for only a day or two. Previously, ESPN reported that if the 76 people signed a top salary contract with George with a starting salary of 49 million dollars, they need to give up all free players in the team, and then use the remaining salary space, 8 million middle-class and veteran base salaries to fill the remaining line-up places. The Clippers have made many contract renewal offers to George, but none of them is a top salary contract. The two sides have not reached an agreement at present.
Fischer reported that 76 people have prepared Plan B and will evaluate multiple targets. The Bulls' Lavin is one of them. If the Bulls or other teams are willing to attach draft assets to clear the salary space, the 76ers will also consider introducing such players. Fischer mentioned Lavin's teammate Drozan, and said that Drozan was a potential target, but he lacked a stable three-point shooting ability, and the playing method that favored the Chinese shot was not suitable for Enbid. This season, Lavin averaged 19.5 points, 5.2 rebounds and 3.9 assists, and only played 25 games due to injuries.
Fischer also mentioned Kuzma, a Wizards player. Before the trade deadline, the Wizards asked for Kuzma in two first rounds. At present, I don't know whether their asking price will drop. This season, Kurtz averaged 22.2 points, 6.6 rebounds and 4.2 assists.
New York reporter Begley said that Anoubi could also become a potential target of the 76 people. "As previously reported, the members of the 76ers regarded Anonby as the goal of the off-season. George was also the goal of Philadelphia. But if the 76ers could not get George, I could foresee that they would make a high offer for Anonby - the Knicks expected to match such an offer." Anonby is one of the important reasons for the success of the Knicks this year, as previously reported, His next contract is expected to exceed 150 million yuan, with an annual salary between 30 million yuan and 40 million yuan.
