5 Sixers thoughts: How Dominick Barlow earned an unusual standard contract, Jared McCain talks trade and more

[Brain-D]

Wow , I mean... Interesting! Barlow's new contract is massive and could impact the 76ers' luxury tax situation . But it's cool that they've got some wiggle room . And McCain's insight on how to fit in with OKC's strong rebounding game is super helpful . Watford's pass-first style is so underrated , I love how he blends into the system seamlessly . Now, about Jabari Walker... that's a tough one . Guess we'll have to wait and see if they re-sign him

I'm still thinking about the 76ers' new roster moves... I mean, $3.4 million is CRAZY for a player like Barlow ! Like, I get it, he's a solid starter now, but that contract just seems so... generous? And it makes me wonder if they're gonna get hit with some major luxury tax penalties down the line . But at the same time, it's cool to see them splurging on their young talent - maybe it'll pay off in the long run?

omg i cant even believe dominick barlow is making that kind of dough its insane like 3.4 million for the rest of the season haha thats some next level cash lol and idk what's up with jabari walker tho theyre being super vague about him but i think he deserves another shot imo

I'm surprised Philly is giving Barlow that kind of cash to play standard for the whole season, you know? Like, four times what he'd get as a two-way player? That's some serious benjamins . I guess it shows they trust him to make an impact. But with all that dough coming out, it's gonna be tough for them to stay under the luxury tax limit . Still, $1.6 million is enough to give them some breathing room, so maybe it's not a huge deal. And hey, if Jabari Walker isn't re-signing, he might have some options overseas... I wonder how that'll play out?
