The 76ers have a huge void at the shooting guard and small forward positions. Brett Brown was asked Monday if he wants to use to the extra roster spot to address that need. The Sixers have had 14 players on their roster since they waived shooting guard/small forward JaKarr Sampson on Feb. 18. The maximum number of players on an NBA roster is 15. “That’s been discussed for a while. I think the thing that’s everybody’s aware of, especially now, is things will start to shake out a little bit more than right after the all-star break.”
However, “the people that sort of study our roster can say accurately that that seems to be the most likely place you should go or would go, and it’s hard to argue that, especially without a body in JaKarr,” Brown said of the shooting guard/small forward spot. The team only has three players – Nik Stauskas, Robert Covington and Hollis Thompson – who are considered true shooting guards or small forwards.
The 76ers were prepared to make major changes to their roster to get a coveted point guard at Thursday’s NBA trade deadline. The team offered packages that included shooting guard Nik Stauskas, point guard Ish Smith, a player with an expiring guaranteed contract and a 2016 first-round pick to the Atlanta Hawks for point guard Dennis Schroder, according to multiple league sources. Former Sixer JaKarr Sampson was said to be player with the expiring contract in the deal.
Adam Zagoria: The 2nd year of JaKarr Sampson’s 2-year contract with the @nuggets is not guaranteed, per source.
The 76ers needed to create a roster spot to acquire Joel Anthony from Detroit and eventually waived JaKarr Sampson. Sampson, a favorite among the 76ers’ management and coaching staffs, was waived when an open roster spot was needed. Sampson eventually cleared waivers and signed a new contract with the Denver Nuggets. The Vertical talked to numerous agents and teams, and they all felt that this issue is something the league and the Players Association will need to look into going forward. There is certainly a gray area on how a player who is waived to create a roster spot is treated if a trade is voided.
The Denver Nuggets have signed forward JaKarr Sampson to a multi-year contract, General Manager and Executive Vice President of Basketball Operations Tim Connelly announced today.
Jeff Zillgitt: JaKarr Sampson’s deal w/Nuggets is for rest of this season and a partial guarantee on next season. Sixers wanted to re-sign him.
Philadelphia waived forward JaKarr Sampson to make room for Anthony, and The Vertical reported that Sampson agreed to a contract with the Denver Nuggets. That transaction remains unchanged.
The 76ers released Sampson to create roster space for the acquisition of Joel Anthony, yet the franchise had held out hope of re-signing Sampson. Sampson’s deal with Denver will be non-guaranteed in the second year.
JaKarr Sampson to Denver
Shams Charania: Philadelphia free agent JaKarr Sampson is finalizing a two-year contract with the Denver Nuggets, league sources tell The Vertical.
Marc Stein: David Lee, J.J. Hickson, Steve Novak, Jarnell Stokes and JaKarr Sampson have also all cleared waivers, according to league sources
The Sixers acquired Anthony, a former Detroit Pistons center, in Thursday’s three-team trade with the Pistons and Houston Rockets. Anthony is expected to be released. The Sixers hope to be able to resign Sampson, assuming he clears waivers by 5 p.m. Sunday. “I don’t have anything negative to say about Philly,” Sampson said Friday. “I feel like a lot of people in my situation might have something negative to say about Philly, like a ‘why-me’ type of thing. But I don’t have anything negative to say about the organization. I love those guys.”
The Sixers wanted him to remain with the team in New Orleans and fly with them on Saturday to Dallas for Sunday’s game against the Mavericks. Sampson, however, opted to fly back to Philadelphia. The 6-foot-9, 215-pounder left because he wouldn’t be allowed to accompany the team to games because of NBA rules. He basically would have spent most of his time at the team hotels. Sampson also has been receiving interest from teams that are considering him on a waiver pickup. As a result, he wanted to be in Philadelphia just in case something happened.
