The 76ers cut five players on Monday, the NBA's deadline to trim rosters to 15 players for the regular season. The team said sayonara to Furkan Aldemir, Jordan McRae, Scottie Wilbekin, Pierre Jackson, and J.P. Tokoto.
The Sixers will pay the departing players nearly $3.8 million in guaranteed salary. They also still owe JaVale McGee $12 million for this season after waiving him late last season. Plus, they're on the hook for $10.2 million to Gerald Wallace after waiving him before training camp.
As a result, the Sixers will pay nearly $26 million to players who won't suit up for them in this campaign.
