The NBA issued updated 2024-25 salary-cap projections to teams on Friday, according to ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski, and, well… nothing changed. The cap is currently projected to be $141 million next season, which is slightly below the original projection of $142 million but exactly what the NBA projected in January.
That could wind up being great news for the Sixers, who boast far more financial flexibility than most championship contenders this offseason.
If the Sixers don’t win a playoff series this year—which would make Paul Reed’s $7.7 million salary for the 2024-25 season fully nonguaranteed—they could create up to almost $65 million in cap space this offseason by waiving Reed, renouncing the rights to all of their free agents and trading their 2024 first-round pick.
