Another domino has fallen in the Sixers‘ subdued free agency period, this time with the signing of 28-year-old Georges Niang. Having spent his entire five-year career in Utah, Niang joins Philadelphia as one of the NBA’s most efficient 3-point shooters. His contract, according to Ben Dowsett of Jazz Film Room, is for two years, $6.7 million.
Per Kyle Neubeck of PhillyVoice, Niang was signed with part of the Sixers’ non-taxpayer’s mid-level exception. That is notable, as it could foreshadow the departure of Danny Green, who seems likely to jump ship.
