Utah Jazz have submitted an offer to the restricted free agent Paul Reed and he has signed it. The offer is 23 million dollars for 3 seasons. Now comes the time of the Sixers, who have the right of first refusal on the player.
A period opens that will end at 23:59 on Sunday. That’s how long the Sixers have to either match the offer and keep the player in their ranks or not and let him escape to Salt Lake City.
The contract signed by Utah and Reed has a very interesting curiosity: only the first year is fully guaranteed, while the 2024-2025 and 2025-2026 seasons will be guaranteed if the team reaches the conference semifinals in the 2023-2024 academic year.
That condition makes it much more likely that the Sixers will be forced to guarantee those 2 years than the Jazz will. Those 2 seasons that are on the air amount to 15.7 million dollars.
Another circumstance to take into account, as explained Adrian Wojnarowski on ESPN, is that if the Sixers match Jazz’s offer and keep the player, they would have to pay an extra $14 million in luxury tax.
Paul Reed played 69 regular season games with the Sixers last season in which he averaged 4.2 points and 3.8 rebounds in 10.9 minutes, while in the playoffs he averaged 4.6 points and 5.5 rebounds. . But the most outstanding thing is that the 4 times that he started between the regular season and the postseason, his numbers shot up to 11.8 points and 11.5 rebounds per game.
We will have to see what the Sixers do regarding Paul Reed, a second unit player who is certainly interesting.
