I keep feeling dumbfounded with all that’s played out since the end of last year. Are they de-prioritizing him, are they not? Are they going to resign him or look to move him? What’s the market for him? What would they be looking to get for him? What’s the plan for the rest of the roster? Are we firesaling or staying the course. With every passing week and every up and down performance from the team, I’m left with more questions than answers. It’s perplexing.
Assuming the cap goes up 10%, sixers should have about $30M/year to offer OG. If they get knocked out in the first round, Paul Reed’s contract becomes non-guaranteed and they can open up $39M/year to sign OG.
OG is absolutely taking any 6ers offer above 35M. 6ers could then still sign Oubre and Maxey with bird rights, Korkmaz with the BAE, Paul Reed and another player with the MLE. That males a top 7 of Embiid, Siakam, OG, oubre, Maxey, Reed, Korkmaz, and they’d probably be a tax team which I’m sure they’re fine with.
They could definitely find a few minimum guys to round out their 10 rotation players.
Are you his agent?
Otherwise- literally none of us have any idea if OG would want to play for the Sixers. Saying he would “absolutely take” any offer from them over an offer from the Raptors is insane.
