What the Philadelphia 76ers can do this offseason
  • Can add an outside free agent up to $0.0M via the Non-Tax MLE.
  • Hard-capped at the first apron — triggered by the Wade + Simons NT-MLE (split), so it can't cross that line the rest of the season.
  • Below the first apron: full expanded salary-matching is available.
  • Draft capital: 8 extra incoming picks, owes 5.

Grades are minutes-weighted from the projected rotation; the chips are the fit read — how much each strength or gap is worth in net rating, on top of raw talent. Dimensions come from each player’s real 2025-26 box profile. Injuries are real reported facts, factored into projected minutes.

Projected minutes from the position-aware rotation model: five on-court spots share a fixed 240-minute-a-night budget, best players first, with versatile players (their secondary spot shown on hover) sliding to a second position. ST = projected starter. Not a coach’s actual rotation.
