Free agents that (almost) make sense for the Philadelphia 76ers
By AJ Iezzi
In case of emergency: break glass
(If any of these guys are on the team, something went very wrong)
Joakim Noah: Signing Joakim Noah would be the big man equivalence of signing Corey Brewer. It would be hilarious and the over/under on stars that would want to fight him would be roughly 2.5.
Andrew Bogut: The Sixers showed interest in Bogut last spring before the postseason. He can guard and he’s Australian. That’s two-thirds of the way into Brett Brown’s heart (the other is “good people”). If the Sixers need a reserve center Bogut is a quality choice.
Kenneth Faried: Faried averaged 10.4 points and 6.8 rebounds in 2019 while playing for Brooklyn and Houston. At 6-foot-8, Faried would be an average-sized Sixer, and smaller than 80 percent of the starting lineup.
If Faried were to end up a Sixer, the size and shooting of Al Horford and Joel Embiid could make him an option to play alongside them. Simmons and Harris provide enough strength and size for the Manimal to play center.
