The NBA trade deadline is rapidly approaching with less than 24 hours left. The Philadelphia 76ers have now pulled off not one, but two blockbuster deals over the course of the year. The trades have not come without significant risk as they have traded long-term assets in Dario Saric, Robert Covington, Landry Shamet, and two first round picks for future unrestricted free agents in Jimmy Butler and Tobias Harris.
Per reports, Philadelphia intends on resigning both Butler and Harris. Both players can each sign a max contract of five years, $189,660,000. That’s a max salary in 2019-20 of $32,700,000 with the max of eight percent raises.
