Sources say the Sixers would be most likely to try and bring back Nico Batum, Kelly Oubre Jr., and Kyle Lowry. What might that look like?
“We’re definitely looking at fit,” the team president of basketball operations responded. “I think one of the things we’re excited about is. … So we definitely look at fit. We’re not really focused, necessarily, on the exact bucket, whether it’s max, role player, or whatever.“We’re focused on getting the best players within the CBA constraints, which is basically you only get so many; you only have so much money.
But Batum proved to be a major asset who could help in their quest to win a championship if he stays. Oubre was a breath of fresh air, according to Morey. He also played hard, won over the city, and gave the Sixers key minutes. And Lowry, a six-time All-Star and NBA champion, was an extension of the coaching staff on the floor.

That’s how they’ll plan to build out their depth this season., made $11.7 million last season. The team holds his Bird rights and has a cap hold of $17.5 million on the 35-year-old.

“I just want to be loved for me,” Oubre said of what he’s seeking in free agency. “I don’t know about the business side of it. I mean, I do, but I can’t tell you what I know because I represent myself right now. At the end of the day, I wanna go somewhere where they respect and they love me. It’s been nothing but love here, of course.”
