Boston/Philly hmmmm....
They got a lot to throw at Ben.....

But, Philly in 6.

Yup, I see a lot of folks chose Boston in 7 besides me, good job NT. And yes I chose Philly over BOS in 6

If Jaylen can't go that'd be a shame

They do but they have to renounce Amir and Racist Redick.

Their cap holds are I think 150% of their salaries

I also found this to be very useful'

Man neither one of these teams are actually good right now.

If I had to choose though I’d probably go with the team we’d have home court against that has a worse coach and wouldn’t have to deal with annoying **** from Marcus Smart and Morris.

Next season's payroll

As of now, after the Covington and Embiid extensions and the denouncing of Jahlil Okafor's 2018-19 rights, the Sixers have about $30 million of cap space next summer. That assumes they bring back Richaun Holmes and T.J. McConnell at their low figures, and it excludes the cap holds of JJ Redick and Amir Johnson, who are on one-year deals.

That large figure — $30 million — would put the Sixers in a unique position next summer. As of now, only the Lakers (and maybe the Hawks) would have more money to spend.

Beyond next season

To optimize their roster as much as possible, the Sixers pretty much have to use their cap space in the summer of 2018 or 2019. After that, they won't have enough room to easily fit in a star.

Why?

Because they'll have to extend Ben Simmons and possibly Dario Saric by then. And once you do that, you don't have as much cap space. If the Sixers were to add a free agent first, however, they'd still be able to retain their own players with big deals.

Think about what the Timberwolves did this past offseason, for example. Their window to spend on a free agent was closing because of the impending mega-deals owed to Karl-Anthony Towns and Andrew Wiggins. So the T-Wolves struck this summer, trading for Jimmy Butler and his high salary because it would have been one of the last opportunities for them to add a big difference-maker.

Looking ahead to 2019, the top projected unrestricted free agents (assuming LeBron and George find long-term homes in 201 are Klay Thompson, Butler and Kemba Walker.

Thompson is the most ideal fit imaginable for this Sixers team. He's also the most ideal fit imaginable for practically every team in the NBA.
