More than a month into free agency, the Sixers have yet to do much. Outside of matching the three-year, $23.6 million offer sheet that Paul Reed signed with the Utah Jazz, the Sixers have signed Patrick Beverley, Mo Bamba and Montrezl Harrell to one-year, veteran-minimum contracts and signed Filip Petrusev to a two-year, lightly guaranteed min deal.
James Harden likely deserves the lion’s share of the blame for the Sixers’ inactivity.
When Harden unexpectedly picked up his $35.6 million player option with the intention of being traded to the Los Angeles Clippers, he effectively ground the Sixers’ other offseason business to a halt.
