Trey Burke‘s non-guaranteed contract is a bit odd. He’s someone most value as an NBA player and he fills a direct need for the Philadelphia 76ers. Him starting the season in South Philly seems like a foregone conclusion, but it’s not. There’s still wiggle room on Philadelphia’s end.
When push comes to shove, however, there’s no much else on the market. Unless the Sixers swoop in on Jeremy Lin, Burke is someone who should remain on the roster. He’s should also be in line for regular rotation minutes.
The Sixers presently have two backup point guards on the roster — Burke and Raul Neto.
