76ers Free Agent Targets For The Veteran Minimum Ft. Dario Saric, Lonnie Walker, Precious Achiuwa

[Music] what is up welcome into the show this is Philadelphia 76ers now I am Chase senior thank you so much for being here and coming your way on today’s show vet Min free agent targets for Philadelphia because the Sixers are paying Joel embiid Tyrese Maxi Paul George Max contracts darl Mur and this front office have to get creative with how they build out the rest of their roster and hopefully Daryl Mur watches this show because we got creative by taking a look at some affordable free agent targets who the Sixers can add to this team let’s pop up today’s poll question before we take a look at that list what say you what is the Sixers biggest need right now with the roster constituted the way that it is let me know down in the comments section for me it’s the starting power forward which we still don’t know who’s going to be the starting for let’s first bring on producer chip as well he is our 76ers now version of Bobby Marx does a great job of monitoring the cap and understands the cap rules very very well and this really sets the foundation sets the table and then gives us the runway as a launching pad to take a look at these vetman targets explain to everybody what the 76ers cap situation is right now how much money they have and then some of the moves that could take place to clear up some cash right so there’s some very intricate details that because of the new CBA the NBA sign that deal the first and second second apron the Sixers had to be very mindful how they spend their money so right now Sixers came in a fre agency with about $60 million their order of operations in terms of how they signed their free agents will go like this they’ll sign Paul George and Andre Drummond using their available open cap space that’ll leave them with about $9 million in cap space remaining they’ll spend the rest of that and then they’ll use the midlevel ception $8 million exception to sign Kelly UB then they’ll sign their vetman targets because then they’ll be out of cap space but they can use vetman exceptions to sign vetman targets like Eric Gordon that’s how he’ll be signed and then they will sign Tyrese Maxi officially to that extension and that’s going to leave him right up against that first apron which could cause issues for the Sixers because there are certain moves the Sixers could make right now such as trading Paul Reed for Dory and Finny Smith that would hard cap them at the first apron meaning that all the way through this upcoming season they would not be allowed to go over that first apron no matter what so you got to be careful there’s a couple things that that could trigger the hard cap at that first apron if you uh sign and trade if you acquire a player via sign and trade or if you take back more salary than you give out in a trade because theoretically the Sixers could trade Paul re and some picks for Dori and FY Smith and fit him in the cap space but because Dory and FY Smith is making more money than Paul Reed that would trigger that hard cap at the first apron and the Sixers do not want to be in that position so how do they work around that position there’s really one thing they could do which is very interesting two things they could either just cut Paul Reed open up enough money to bring Dory anthiny Smith into their existing salary cap space or something interesting to keep an eye on because they had the bird rights on KJ Martin and his caph hold is so low it’s only counting for about 2 million against the cap right now they can use that to their advantage to resign KJ Martin to a deal worth up to $20 million I know it sounds crazy but they could resign him for up to $20 million for a few years they would only have to guarantee the first year of that deal and then come January and no it’s crazy yeah they could then trade KJ Martin who’s making 20 million for a player like Dorian finy Smith and they wouldn’t run into the problem of being hard capped at that first apron because he’d be making more than Dorian fin Smith or another player they’d like to trade for that’s making under $20 million so again things could change depending what they get back on the Buddy hee front but the new CBA again really limits what you can do the Sixers do not want to be limited come trade deadline at being able to go over that first apron if necessary and D M always says it’s about how you go into the playoffs the roster you go into the playoffs with not NE neily the roster you start with so keep an eye on all that again some very intricate details with the aprons here had to let you guys know keep you updated because the DOR Anthony smith thing might not happen now might happen later so just so you know keep that in mind clap it up for chip right there that’s good stuff to really get us started and now take a look at our vetman targets I have talked about Dario charar a couple of times here on the show the Sam hanky draft and Stash from several years ago where Philadelphia draft him he was in Croatia he came over to America played at the NBA level his arrival watch what was a much awaited arrival and he became a fan favorite for a lot of people because of the gret because of the toughness because the Sixers started to win back early during the early portions of that Joel embiid Ben Simmons Aon Dario Char was a part of that now he was traded away in that Jimmy Butler trade in 2019 but the reason why I’d like shich back with Philadelphia here he’s a big who could play the four or five he’s very versatile and what positions he can play he’s comfortable playing on the low block around the perimeter he can knock down the three at a really high level he can guard and is a willing Defender he has played in a bunch of big games at the NBA level and internationally 610 225 that’s really good size and I also like the fit as this starting for next to Joel embiid I also like his passing ability when you talk about his fundamentals they are very fine-tuned and some people have tried to tell me Dario shich is washed he’s not good any longer look he’s 30 years old he’s currently playing for Croatia he nearly dropped the triple double against team Slovenia and Luca donic the other day in the leadup to the Olympics and I still think Dario charge can play last year for the Warriors he averaged eight points per game four and a half rebounds nearly 47% from the field and almost 38% from three year before that with Phoenix and OKC hit nearly 39% of his three-point shots year before that almost 35 and before that nearly 36 so if he could be at that 37 38% number from distance I think that he’d be a really good fit on the Sixers team to serve a couple of different roles and he’d fit in really nicely at that four spot which is the biggest remaining need on this Sixers team and of course the story of him coming back would obviously be pretty exciting as well and he’s far removed from that torn ACL that he suffered with Phoenix during the NBA Finals run precious auua is vetman Target number two he is not the shooter that Dario shich is he’s not going to stretch the floor like shich he would more so I think be a backup four for the Sixers team and this would probably signal that you move on from Paul Reed you we’re not going to have bball Paul and Precious auua on the same Squad they’re both lengthy they’re both athletic I wish that Paul Reed would shoot the three more willingly like he did at the g-league level occasionally atua will knock down the corner three but he’s mostly going to be an athlete who can run the floor well be a lob threat play the four play the five as a small ball five and I think he’s a pretty solid player as a depth piece I’m interested to see what his Market is going to be last year with Toronto and New York seven and a half points per game six and a half rebounds nearly a block per night 50.1% from the field and we saw once Mitchell Robinson got hurt for the Knicks in that first round series Tom Tibido turned to auua and I thought he held up well he held his own in guarding Joel embiid and just being on the floor in fact I thought Tibido could have gone to him a little bit more Lonnie Walker is vetman Target number three the product of reading p pania who then played his college ball at Miami I’d say that so far in his NBA career he hasn’t lived up to some of the lofty expectations that he had as a first round pick but you do need to fill out your bench as far as your backup guard play goes and I have seen some solid stretches of play from Lonnie Walker I do have to give him credit because he needed to improve his three-point shot and he’s improved his three-point shot his numbers over the last two years have gotten a lot better from long range two years ago with the Lakers almost 12 points per game he came up clutch in that second round Series against the Golden State Warriors as a playmaker who was able to score from all three levels and give the Lakers some athleticism coming in off the pine and then last year with Brooklyn almost 10 points per game and he hit about 38% of his shots Lonnie Walker is still only 25 years old and while he may have not Liv up to the expect ation of being that 18th overall pick back in the 2018 draft I still think there’s a player in there who can continue this Ascent as a solid three-point shooter and a solid athlete who could be a backup and fill out this bench Justin holiday is coming in at number four on our list of vet men free agent targets not used a lot with the Denver Nuggets this past year there were times in which he got some playing time on this team he might get more playing time than he did on Denver and that’s just a byproduct of the Sixers being a little bit thin because they’re paying three players three max slots a couple of years ago the production was a little bit better for Sacramento in Indiana 2020 2021 72 games played with the Pacers he averaged 10 and a half points per game 41% from the field 38% from three that’ll play following year 10 points per game almost 37% from three last two years with Denver and Atlanta though just not used as much he did play nine games with the 76ers all the way back in 2012 and 2013 he is the brother of Drew holiday and then there is Lamar Stevens checking in here at number five a lot of people probably familiar with this name because he’s been around for a couple of years but he also went to the haford school in Pennsylvania in addition to Roman Catholic and then he played his college ball at Penn State 66 230 last year for the Grizzlies seven points per game three plus rebounds hit 45% of his shots it’s taken him a little while to get going made his NBA debut December 27th of 2020 but as a bench player for the Sixers as that kind of wing position spot um you could do worse and he’s just not going to cost all that much money and again affordability is what’s big here for the Sixers um there’s been some growth in his game I think and with that growth there’s been a little bit of confidence as well he started his career with Cleveland then he played for Boston then he played for Memphis and last year with Memphis that was really the best year of his career and it wasn’t even really close he only did play a few games though chip five at targets for the Sixers who do you like on that list I obviously I like Dario sarch a lot I think he’s very versatile in his skills that he can offer the Sixers a lot of different things and would fit well you know either playing that backup five playing that four role he’s going to be able to give you that floor spacing a little bit of playmaking can handle the ball a little bit it would just give the Sixers another player with a variety of skill sets which you know you got to have your specialist and that’s fine like an Eric Gordon who’s just going to shoot the Rock but I feel like you need players sometimes you can do a little bit of everything and that’s Dario sarch I like Precious aoua a lot as well because he’s going to hustle he’s going to play hard he’s going to rebound the ball he has an expanding offensive game if he ever does get a reliable Corner three which has been very inconsistent up this point in his career he could be a very solid player and he’s still pretty young as well and keep in mind when we’re talking about these guys they’re all vetman Targets so you might look at all these guys and say oh well the you know why would I want to side player why would I want to sign y player these are vetman guys you’re not spending anything on these players you are bringing them in and hoping that they can contribute at the end of your bench maybe in some cases you know a spot start I also I like the idea of just an holiday a little bit as well because he’s long and lengthy could be a good Defender does he have anything left in the tank at this point we will see but look Sixers are going to have to make at least a couple more vet Min signings as they look to fill out that roster because they’ve already spent so much money and don’t have a full roster yet don’t have too many players on the roster so again keep an eye on some of these guys as these vetman targets and I’m sure you know as we move forward in the next couple days or so we’ll start to see the Sixers connected to some more players and of course we’ll keep you updated when we get that information and some people are in the comments saying uh comment section saying Justin holiday sign back with the Denver Nuggets I know that’s been reported on we haven’t seen anything official his other brother Aaron holiday did resign with the Houston Rockets but we of course continue to keep tabs on that so those are five players right there name a free agent the 76ers should sign it could be a player who we did talk about a player who we are missing a lot of people talking about sadique Bay in the comment section as well maybe we’ll hit on him a little bit later this week [Music]
