Dean Wade signs four-year, $39M deal with Sixers
If there's anything I've learned from the past 20 years of Sixers history it's that Jaylen Brown is gonna lose interest in basketball and maybe also a leg and PG is gonna inexplicably turn into the clutchest player alive
Michael Baumann32I almost don't care what it does to the Sixers, because the Celtics getting PG for a guy they thought they were going to swap straight up for Giannis last week is making me laugh into a coughing fit
treb16he falls through the first ever hole to open up in the floor on opening night
FlipsToStock1And the Clippers pick will end up being No. 1 overall
Holy shit the Sixers got a fucking DAWG. this guy is gonna bleed for Philly. I foresee a love affair like they had with Bryce in the early years. Sixers way up. Celtics what you doing baby this is a terrible deal
gsc5My god Boston ate shit and said thank you very much What an insane trade
T. Ferox3Celtics owned by private equity. Not making moves for basketball reasons
Ed Sweeney (d.b.a. Knobby Burton)2There is A LOT behind the scenes here in Boston that is being kept under wraps. This is essentially a "whatever we can get for him" trade by the Celtics.
Lex Joy1Stevens knows something we don't. That's the only sensible explanation.
Hank Single1Brown is going to be like Johnny fucking Storm next year. Between Maxey and Embiid (for 38 games)? Im sick to my stomach.
Free agent forward Dean Wade has agreed to a four-year, $39 million deal with the Philadelphia 76ers, sources tell ESPN. Several contenders pursued the former Cavaliers forward, who has become an indispensable defending and shooting frontcourt piece.
VolatileVi2I don’t get the Dean Wade hype
Alex Conover1NBA free agency is off to a roaring start @rkbrew22.bsky.social
Shams Charania Tweets3076ers officials finalized negotiations tonight with Wade’s agents, Adam Papas and Austin Walton of NEXT Sports. Seven years ago, Wade went undrafted out of Kansas State and broke in on a two-way -- before earning a standard deal, then an extension and now a lucrative new free-agent deal.
marcel eggstein5Gute Verpflichtung für die Sixers 👇 nur was bedeutet das für Grimes, Oubre Jr. & Co.? Schwierig!
Sean4THE EMIRATES NBA CUP IS GOING TO PHILADELPHIA!!!!
Josh Vetter31. Was sneaky hoping he'd be a Wolf 2. LeBron retirement tour confirmed
John Gaudes3Scottie Barnes dispensed him pretty good
madtravels 🆘2More money than I would like to give Dean anyway if he’s gonna be terrified to shoot in the playoffs
Brendan Dzwierzynski2Good for the kid from St. John, Kansas, but I never would have guessed an NBA reporter would call him “indispensable” in a million lifetimes.
Die Mad2Good for philly, bad for Cleveland
Sources: Dean Wade and the Philadelphia 76ers have agreed to a four-year, $39 million deal, league sources told HoopsHype. Wade reunites with Mike Gansey after the two spent time together with the Cleveland Cavaliers. Agent Austin Walton finalized the agreement.
Joe6Dean will always be a Cavs lifer, just like his older brother Dwyane.
Martim 🏀2🏀📊LOVE this for Philly. Wade is a fantastic on-ball defender, great at containing ball handlers across positions and with size to provide good help. For someone with such low offensive usage, he's still probably outplaying the ~5.5% of the cap they Sixers will spend on him.
JLK21) that sucks 2) less than $10/yr?
BREAKING NEWS Trade summary, per Shams Charania: Sixers get - Jaylen Brown Celtics get - Paul George, 2 first-round picks, 2 second-round picks
NBA Daily News14Celtics pick details from Jaylen Brown trade: - 2028 first-round pick (could convert to a swap) - 2031 unprotected first-round pick - 2028, 2030 second-round picks
Khalifa Yote6Bradjamin Netanyahu is a basketball terrorist get him off of my franchise as a GM immediately
Nice Joe Greene3How did the Jazz get a better deal for Kessler than Boston did for Brown?
perhaps future moves will prove this wrong, but hard not to see the luxury tax hovering over the Sixers' (apparent) refusal to match this deal. it's a good price for a durable wing who can scale up when needed. and it's only two years!
Avi Wolfman-Arent6Oubre has his limitations. But his combo of size and production is worth $8.5 million a year.
Ben_Mulligan 2Sad to see Oubre go, loved rooting for him, though to be honest I am still not sure if he actually helps win basketball games or not.
TheNorge2yeah this really irritates me
bobbythreestix.bsky.social1Eh. He had run his course here. I’d rather run Edwards out there consistently than let Nurse have a 33 minutes security blanket. Sorry, but im not sad.
Michael Goldenpine1They will miss him. And they could have easily traded him at that price. Maybe Indiana promised him they wouldn’t use him to duck the tax.
Dean Wade's contract will come out of the Non-Taxpayer MLE for the Philadelphia 76ers. They'll now be hard-capped at the first apron. Sixers have roughly $13.8M in space under the first apron with two open standard roster spots.
KeithSmithNBA5$16.6M under the first-apron hard cap for the Sixers.
marcel eggstein4Erinnert man sich an die Forderungen von Grimes im letzten Sommer, wird ihm das nicht reichen 👇 Gleichzeitig draftete man mit Labaron Philon einen Guard und zog die Option für Dalen Terry. Ergo: Quentin Grimes wird wahrscheinlich woanders unterschreiben.
