76ers Don’t Want To Pay James Harden Max Contract

Per ESPN’s Brian Windhorst, the 76ers have no interest in offering James Harden a max contract. There is no real motivation to pay him the max, which is why the organization asked him to take a pay cut.

“The 76ers have not shown an appetite to pay Harden the max; that’s why they asked him to take a pay cut last year,” Windhorst reported. “The Sixers are not really motivated to pay him that max salary if they don’t think anybody else is going to do it.”

Harden is eligible to sign a four-year deal with the 76ers for over $210 million, whereas another team could only offer him $201.7 million over four years. Also, he is only able to sign a four-year deal due to the Over-38 rule.

James Harden is a top guard in this summer’s free agency.

According to multiple reports, the Philadelphia 76ers will be signing Reggie Jackson after he clears waivers from the Charlotte Hornets. This is the second time in two years Jackson has been waived by the Hornets.

The Denver Nuggets traded the 34-year-old to Charlotte to shed his salary, which saw them getting two second-rounders from Denver to take the money.

Philadelphia needed to fill their hole in the backcourt, depth-related concerns, and they found Jackson to be the right match.

Jackson averaged 10.2 points and 3.8 assists in all 82 games last season for the Nuggets.

Sixers Want Both Kentavious Caldwell-Pope, Paul George

According to Marc Stein, the Philadelphia 76ers are working a dream scenario where they can land both Paul George and Kentavious Caldwell-Pope. Both are unrestricted free agents.

Caldwell-Pope opted out of his $15.4 million option with the Denver Nuggets, and it doesn’t look like he will return to the franchise. Calvin Booth is preparing for the team to lose one of the best 3-And-D wing players, but they’ll have some money to make moves.

For Philly, they have the cap space to land both and give George the maximum contract he desperately wants. The Sixers can offer George a four-year, $212 million deal. It’s only $9 million less than what the Los Angeles Clippers can offer him; however, Trent Redden does not want to pay George that money.

According to Bleacher Report’s Chris Haynes, Paul George is reportedly a member of Philadelphia. Thus, it looks like the door to an L.A. return is ruled out. If they can get KCP, that would be a tremendous bonus.

Tobias Harris Set To Leave Philly, Teams Lining Up For Him

According to Bleacher Report’s Chris Haynes, the Philadelphia 76ers are officially done with their partnership involving Tobias Harris. Multiple teams want the veteran forward.

The Dallas Mavericks, New Orleans Pelicans, Detroit Pistons, San Antonio Spurs, and Utah Jazz are all interested in him. For them, they all have the money to lure him to their franchise.

Philly will use all their cap space to reconstruct their roster around Joel Embiid and Tyrese Maxey. This comes after knowing Harris will not return to Daryl Morey’s franchise.
