The goal of the Philadelphia 76ers is to retain Kyle Lowry, Kelly Oubre Jr., and Nicolas Batum. Stars Tyrese Maxey and Joel Embiid complement each other well, and all three free agents might not be too costly to keep.
The franchise is most likely to want to re-sign Nico Batum, Kyle Lowry, and Kelly Oubre Jr. due to CBA restrictions, according to a source, as reported by Keith Pompey of The Philadelphia Inquirer. Batum has developed into a crucial member of the Sixers. He was acquired from the Los Angeles Clippers on November 1st, and he didn’t need to control the ball to bring effective offense and good defense. He averaged 5.5 points, 4.2 rebounds, and 2.2 assists in his 57 games with the Philadelphia 76ers.
Last season, Batum earned $11.7 million. The franchise is in possession of Bird’s rights and has a $17.5 million cap hold on the 35-year-old. It is predicted that Batum will receive a small rise, but on a shorter contract than first thought.
