Want one ticket to sit baseline by the visitors’ bench in LeBron/Jaylen Brown’s first game in Philadelphia? Cool, 21 grand, please.
Your Philadelphia 76ers once the KCP signing goes official. By my math, Philadelphia added just $31,933,880 in new money to their cap sheet this offseason to acquire all of Labaron Philon Jr., Dean Wade, Ariel Hukporti, Jaylen Brown, Anfernee Simons, LeBron James, and Kentavious Caldwell-Pope.
LeBron James shared some pretty strong support of Jaylen Brown on IG this morning.

Philon on what he's like during workouts to be able to drill down on improvement areas:
Philon on how he learns his teammates as a ball-handler and figures out how he can help the best:
Labaron Philon on whether Tyrese Maxey has talked about getting together to work out over the summer:
Labaron Philon on the roots of his competitive nature and what motivates him as a competitor:

Labaron Philon on comparing himself to other guards in the class and being competitive with them:
Greetings from Camden. Labaron Philon Jr. will speak in about 30 minutes. What do you wanna know?
The draft is over. The Sixers come away with Labaron Philon. No second-round pick. This is how their cap sheet will look heading into free agency, adjusted for Philon's slot value at pick 22.
While we wait for the Sixers to officially name Mike Gansey their new president of bb ops and introduce him, here is Philadelphia's cap sheet situation headed into the summer transaction window, with margin notes on all the pertinent rules:
