Though no details of how much the 76ers offered to sign Saric, one thing is for sure they have some other assets that could be included in the trading block that could assert them in the future.

“You have to give a lot of credit to Sam Hinkie for the recent developments that have happened”, coach Brett Brown said. Saric improved his three-point field goal percentage to 41 percent in 2015-16 after shooting 34 percent the previous season.
The thought of tinkering with the pieces is enticing.
But, by far, the best part of the video is this video is Saric’s answer as to why he’s willing to pay $450,000 of the $1 million buyout of his contract at Anadolu Efes. His defense may be an issue, but his ability to stretch the floor will be extremely vital.
In his Twitter account, the 20-year-old center ranted on Twitter about the write-ups regarding the rumored disappointment with his team. “We have all been eager to have him join the team”.
We will pay attention to see how quickly Simmons develops and if he can become the type of dominant point presence that Brown envisions. Since then, he’s been playing basketball professionally in Istanbul.
Yeah it’s lit in Philly.
There had been some concern that the 6-foot-10, 243-pound power forward would remain in Turkey as a way to avoid a smaller payday upon coming to the states. However, the biggest missing presence was that of Christian Wood, the summer league standout who signed a 2-year deal with the Charlotte Hornets Thursday afternoon.
Despite Wood not necessarily having a spot on the Sixers’ active roster on day one, they should have at least kept him around as a reserve.
If the Sixers are looking for a team that could maximize Okafor’s game, that means shopping him to everyone with a “unicorn” big man who can do a bit of everything.
All was not lost this week for the Sixers.
