It is July 6 in the NBA ree agency period which means deals can now become official and the ink can dry on new contracts signed around the league.
The Philadelphia 76ers were aggressive from the jump in the free agency signing period as they brought in PJ Tucker on a reported 3-year $33.2 million deal to bring toughness and 3-point shooting to Philadelphia. Tucker spent the 2021-22 season with the Miami Heat, but he has a lot of experience playing with James Harden while with the Houston Rockets.
The Sixers also brought in Danuel House Jr. on a reported 2-year $8.5 million deal. The veteran out of Texas A&M also played with Harden while with the Rockets and he shot 41.5% from deep for the Utah Jazz, his third team of the 2021-22 season, and he can bring a legitimate 3-and-D presence to Philadelphia off the bench.
President Daryl Morey, as he often does whenever the Sixers make a new addition, welcomed the new players to the team on Twitter with a welcome message as well as a YouTube video of what that player can do.
