With Doc Rivers officially set as the new coach of the Sixers, there seems to be a renewed sense of optimism surrounding the team. Despite a depressing first-round playoff exit this year, a criminal job by the front office of building a team, and little money to work with- the Sixers are not that far off from climbing back into the championship conversation next year.
Along with just about everything else with next year’s NBA season, the salary cap is still fairly up in the air. The CBA had projected the salary cap to be set at $115 million with the luxury tax threshold at $139 million for the 20-21 season.
