The Sixers had only nine players able to play last night against the Kings, four starters were notably absent and it is therefore the bottom of the drawer that must have been shown. Among them was Furkan Korkmaz, who was the highest paid player on the Philly scoresheet. Reduced staff, private staff of stars, paid staff below the opponent and yet, the victory was at the end. “Efficient and inexpensive, I prefer Phila! “.
$ 20 million, you can do a lot of things with such a sum. Buy 88 sailboats, 75 Ferraris, or even become the owner of the Lozère. In short, anything is possible, but Daryl Morey preferred to invest his 20 million potatoes on nine players who have just smoked Kings 102 to 94. It’s simple, in the starting line-up, we find Korkmaz and his 4.6 million year round, Thybulle and his bag of 2.8 million dollars, Maxey for 2.6 million – and that’s theft given the contribution of the guy -, Niang who receives 3.3 million and Dédé Drummond who eat leftovers with 1.6 million. All these beautiful people combine fifteen million dollars for 71 pawns on the floor of Sacramento. Yes, that’s a lot of numbers but it’s normal it’s Tuesday and it’s math day. So let’s take out the calculators to pay tribute to Daryl Morey’s monstrous work. How could he sniff out so many good deals and how are his players so good? Without forgetting the work of the staff of the franchise which is also to be underlined, with a team which tries somehow to get its head out of the water in the absence of its cadors.

Doc Rivers therefore had on hand a staff reduced to 20 million, while the Sixers head nurse could count on four players and a salary margin of around 118 million dollars. It is rumored that the bites are made with gold needles. Exit Danny Green who suffers from ischios – which is problematic for a mason – Jojo who has tested positive for Covid, Tobias Harris who has a creaky hip, Seth Curry and his painful back as well as Ben Simmons who is more bogged down in addition. In the absence of all these beautiful people, one player is taking up more and more space in the franchise: Tyrese Maxey. The 21st choice of the 2020 Draft turns at 18.7 points, 3.6 rebounds and 4.6 assists per game, all for the modest sum of 2.6 million. It’s 31 less than Ben Simmons and yet the kid is much more skillful than his elder three-pointer: 39.3% success this season for the new darling of the Wells Fargo Center. Around the nugget therefore, Korkmaz, Thybulle and Milton bring points and shoot, while Andre Drummond takes out the vacuum cleaner to swallow all the bounces possible. When the stars line up and everything’s working out, the Sixers are a real scratchy (although worrying the Warriors in the next game is sure to take more). As for the returns, Danny Green and Joel Embiid are in day-to-day, just like Seth Curry which we should also see again in a short time. Tobias Harris and his hip shouldn’t be long either, unlike Benny. The Sixers are doing with the means at hand but we can’t wait to see what this team can give in full.
Daryl Morey is the world champion of The Good Pay, there is no longer any doubt. This man is capable of sniffing out a bargain from miles away and Sixers fans can attest to that. If Lionel Messi was a meter taller, it wouldn’t be surprising to see him play for the Sixers for three francs and six cents.
