Philadelphia 76ers fans are wondering if Daryl Morey is going to spring a trade. If Morey targeted a player like Atlanta’s Dejounte Murray, as we analyzed earlier this week, or a supermax two-time All-Star like Zach LaVine, then it might cut into the summer “max cap space plan” they might have in mind too.
On the other hand, if they didn’t onboard any big-money names — for example, if they targeted a player like Dorian Finney-Smith in Brooklyn — there are potentially a few ways the Sixers (with a slew of expiring contracts and a few shiny new draft picks thanks to the James Harden trade) could still offer a max slot to a top-tier free agent.
