5 76ers bargain-bin free agents to round out roster
The 76ers still have at least one roster spot to fill after their big moves and re-signings in free agency.
The Philadelphia 76ers’ 2024-25 rotation is mostly assembled. With Reggie Jackson reportedly on the way and Daryl Morey stating that they will keep a roster spot open going into the season, the Sixers have just one more addition to make.
Among the best free agents left are Lonnie Walker IV, Tyus Jones and Luke Kennard, all of whom had big roles with their teams and have been starters at some point in their careers. The Sixers adding the athletic scoring/shooting from Walker, the strong playmaking of Jones or the elite marksmanship of Kennard on a minimum deal would be great, but each of them could make more and have a bigger role on teams that have yet to use their mid-level exception, so seeing them join Philly feels unlikely. Plus, Philly already has plenty of guards.
The Sixers would be best off finding a wing to round out their initial roster for the 2024-25 season. Having another backup forward will make them less reliant on an unproven Ricky Council IV and an old, out-of-position Eric Gordon to provide minutes at forward off the bench. Even if Council is ready to go, Philly could use someone, preferably a forward with more NBA experience, to shore up the depth.
The pickings are slim this late in the offseason, but that doesn’t mean there isn’t still talent out there. Here are five options for the 76ers.
