Sixers exchanges KJ Martin’s second pick with Detroit pistons. This is the cost reduction of Sixers, which focuses on ducking the luxurious tax threshold of NBA. Keith Philadelphia Ink Wireer’s Pompei was FFirst to report that Martin landed on a piston.
PHILLYVOICE reported on Wednesday that Detroit had received a contract with the second round pick in 2027 and Dallas Marvelix in 2031. Sixers won the Milwhald Picky pickup last year’s PATRICK BEVERLEY and Cameron Payne’s trade deadline, but landed Dallas as part of the signing trade that involves buddy heads last summer. Ta.
According to Yosh Goslan, an upper limit of salary, Six is less than $ 698,231 below the tax, as is now. It may be necessary to maneuver to enter the roster and lower the excitement, but the team is with Dallas Marvelix between this transaction and Caleb Martin and Centine Glime’s swap. Avoid most of your work, among the quentin Glimes you made.
This saves much more money than the one you meet. Exchanging Caleb Martin with Glimes has reduced the team’s salary by nearly $ 4 million. They are not only abandoning Martin’s $ 7,975,000 salary, but they have not avoided tax -exempt because they have reduced luxury taxes, so they have acquired a team and do not tax on tax payments. Set it to be one of the teams.
It is a strange calculation for untreated eyes, and it is often difficult to gather for trained eyes. but, On Wednesday morning, Gozlan calculated that two transactions could save more than $ 40 million if they were replaced by reducing salary, reducing tax bills, and paying taxes.

Of course, this is not what everyone wants to hear or want to hear. Sixers probably had to abandon KJ Martin in the summer and strengthen the potential offer to GUERSCHON YABUSELE at the free institution, but did not get flexible by trading him now. His salary of $ 8,025,000 in next season has not been guaranteed until mid -January 2026. He maintained a young and productive player without guaranteeing, holding two two -round picks that the six had to let go. But it would have been quite economic.
