Philadelphia 76ers Rumors
Justin Grasso: Matisse Thybulle is playing tonight #Sixers
Last week, it was Marc Stein. This week, it’s Shams Charania and his colleague at The Athletic, Sam Amick, going over the same ground. Previously, Brian Windhorst of ESPN and Keith Pompey, 76ers beat writer at the Philadelphia Inquirer have also done the speculation thing as well. However, one league source told NetsDaily the report is “spin … craziness.”
Oklahoma City has the ability to generate $34 million in cap space, which would allow them to trade for just about any salary. They have enough cap space to take on a player like John Wall, Russell Westbrook, and Tobias Harris and all they would need to send back is Derrick Favors. Their ability to spend in this trade deadline will likely be their final opportunity for them to facilitate salary dumps until at least the 2023 offseason when they are projected to have cap space.
Justin Grasso: Matisse Thybulle has been upgraded to questionable for tomorrow’s game vs. #Pelicans Seth Curry, Danny Green, Shake Milton all remain out #Sixers
