Beijing time on July 3, NBA In the free market, the 76ers made another gain and signed a two-way contract with St. John's University forward Julian Champany. In addition to signing the contract, the 76ers are also actively negotiating a new contract with Harden, and are also focusing on the Rockets' Gordon, and still want to trade him to make the lineup more deep.
76ers officially announced that the team officially signed a two-way contract with St. John's University forward Julian Champany. Champany is 21 years old this year and is an undrafted player this year. In the college season, he averaged 19.2 points, 6.7 rebounds and 2.1 assists per game. His performance is still good. The following summer league will also be an opportunity for him to perform. The 76ers sent their first-round pick to the Grizzlies this time. Without draft picks, they will focus on undrafted players. If they can miss out, that is still very good.
After the free market opened, the 76ers gained quite a lot. They signed PJ Tucker and House, two old Rockets players, and all of this was due to Harden's choice. Harden previously opted out of a $47.4 million player option, giving the team more flexibility in salary space. Harden's team is currently negotiating a new contract with the 76ers and is expected to reach an agreement soon. The two parties should have communicated before, otherwise Harden would not be so determined to jump out of the contract. It is reported that Harden's new contract may be a three-year contract with an annual salary of about US$30 million. In order to better strengthen the team's lineup, Harden is also willing to reduce his salary.
Harden is very clear that the next season will be the best opportunity to compete for the championship. The team needs to make some changes. Getting Tucker is the first step. Next, they are still looking for a trade to get Gordon. These two players are very familiar to Harden. The three of them also had good memories in the Rockets. I still look forward to the three of them working together again. The 76ers want to trade with Thybulle as the main body, but this is not enough to impress the Rockets. They also need to bring in a third party. It depends on whether they can find it.
