The 76ers’ three top players need to re-sign in 2024 NBA free agency.
This summer, ten free agents will be available to the Philadelphia 76ers. Philly has more players than any other NBA team, even when player options that might let them to enter unrestricted free agency are taken into consideration. The Sixers’ roster is expected to undergo significant changes throughout this offseason, as noted by Daryl Morey.
Joel Embiid, Tyrese Maxey, Paul Reed, and Ricky Council IV were the only players Morey mentioned in his news conference at the end of the season as the only ones likely to return. A new contract for Maxey, a restricted free agent, will finally be obtained, while Reed and Council are now under contracts that are not entirely assured. The Sixers have plenty of financial space to improve their lineup because Embiid is now the only player on the books with a guaranteed contract.
As much as Philly needs to add more 16-game players, especially on the wings, it doesn’t mean replacing the supporting group completely. There are several good players to keep on new contracts in comparable or reduced responsibilities. However, there are also some that they shouldn’t worry about losing.
