For the second straight year, the Sixers’ final signing of the offseason was one of their best.
Last year, the Sixers signed Kelly Oubre Jr. to a one-year, veteran-minimum contract in mid-September. He proceeded to start 52 games for them and averaged 15.4 points in 30.2 minutes per game, which helped him land a two-year, $16.4 million contract via the room mid-level exception this past summer. If the Sixers don’t flip him before the trade deadline, they’ll have Early Bird rights on him this coming offseason, which would enable them to sign him to a four-year deal worth up to $62.
