The Philadelphia 76ers seem in desperate need of a roster shakeup, but they don’t have many avenues to pursue one. They’re likely capped out, either by virtue of James Harden accepting his $47 million player option for next season or them having to re-sign Harden to prevent losing him in NBA free agency for nothing.

The only mid-level contract the Sixers have signed on for next season is Danny Green’s at a non-guaranteed $10 million figure. All other deals are either worth $5 million or less or over $30 million. Due to this fact, if Philadelphia were to make a significant trade before next season, it would have to be a blockbuster deal.

A major move would likely require the 76ers to part with Tobias Harris, whether it’s a massive trade or just a shakeup for a solid player. For a blockbuster deal, his massive salary would need to be involved for salary matching purposes and it would be a matter of what else is included.
