Remember when the Philadelphia 76ers and Denver Nuggets were signing and waiving (a retired) Mo Williams over and over to get closer to the salary cap floor to avoid a tax? Or when the Sixers had the lowest payroll in the entire league?
Well, those times are gone! After a big summer of spending in 2019 the franchise now finds themselves in what is essentially salary cap hell. The likes of Tobias Harris and Al Horford alone will combine for nearly $62,000,000 of the payroll next season, which will be above 40 percent of the team’s combined salary.
