Sixers Mailbag Vol. 24 - How Much More Losing Can We Bear?

Today is Thursday, which means it's time for me to answer some of your most pressing Sixers questions. Without further ado...

Sean C. via email: My question is regarding Dario Saric and when he'll eventually join the squad. Why couldn't Dario sign a K.J. McDaniels special (one-year, non-guaranteed deal) and become a restricted free agent [in 2017]?

That's a fair question. As most know by now, if Saric were to wait at least three seasons before coming to the NBA, he would not be subject to the rookie wage scale, and could sign a contract like what Nikola Mitotic did with the Chicago Bulls in 2014.
