Boban Marjanovic

Do the Sixers want him?

As a good locker room influence, a nice third-string center and maybe a point for Harris to re-sign as his best buddy, sure. He is a crowd favorite, a good guy and, hey, he gave Keanu Reeves a run for his money in John Wick 3.

Would other NBA teams have any interest and how much would Sixers pay to keep him?

Bobi would probably find a home somewhere, 7-foot-4 guys who can shoot are not grown on trees. However, for a championship-aspiring team like the Sixers, his immobility on defense is a killer in the playoffs. After a couple of good games against the Nets, they figured him out and coach Brett Brown could not use him after that.

Final Answer: He was paid $7 million last year. That is not happening. Offer him $7 million for two years, let us see if anyone beats it, if they do, hey, we will always love you Bobi.
