im not really worried about the tobias harris contract. hes at a great age, hes entering his prime, and he should be fine. a few years ago when mike conley signed his huge deal, he was the highest paid player in the NBA. hes now like the 33rd or 34th highest paid. the cap is going to continue to increase 5-10% a year for the foreseeable future, and when the next CBA is up, im sure there will be another fairly big jump.
the sixers are in a real weird spot, cap wise. simmons is going to sign his extension, but it will take effect next summer. we are going to be right near the apron with our core guys. the key, like the warriors proved, is to find vets willing to sign on the cheap. then if they have a big year, you have to nod your head and move on do it again. they did not backload horford's contract, so his contract will be movable if they need to. the hope is that zhaire, thybulle and shake can develop into good 6-7-8 men.
the next big domino is probably going to be giannis, but that is 2 years from now, and half the league will move/be traded by then. the NBA really is incredible
