APRIL 12: The Sixers have officially signed Tolliver to a 10-day contract, the team announced today in a press release.
APRIL 10: The Sixers are planning to sign veteran forward Anthony Tolliver to a 10-day contract, tweets ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski. Tolliver worked out for the 76ers last week, Wojnarowski adds.
Philadelphia waived Ignas Brazdeikis earlier this week to open up a spot on its 15-man roster.
Tolliver, 35, will join the 11th team of his well-traveled career which began in 2007 after he went undrafted. The Missouri native last played for Memphis during the bubble in Orlando last season.
Tolliver split the 2019/20 campaign between the Grizzlies, Kings and Blazers, appearing in 55 total games while averaging 3.6 PPG and 2.8 RPG. He’s a career 37.3% shooter from beyond the arc.
While Tolliver will not be relied on to make a major impact, he will be expected to give Philadelphia some quality minutes off the bench.
Anthony Tolliver is underrated
He also got punked by Nick Young… He’s definitely decent though. Sixers are loading up for the playoffs.
Remember when Michael Beasley rubbed Tolliver’s knee on the bench thinking it was his own? Pepperidge farm remembers.
To be fair, Beasley thought he won that knee in the poker game.
Probably needs a small amount of more games to (significantly) upgrade his future nba pension and his agent has a good relationship with the GM.
Several years ago we joked about an out-of-the-blue nba signing where a former UNC big man got signed, sat on the bench for 4 games, never played but was “active”, and then released. Found out that Dean Smith made a call to a close friend in the team’s front office and that the player needed four more games to attain his nba pension. Legendary
Roy Williams saw that post and wants his job back to match that.
Cool Story. link to hoopshype.com
Any player with at least three years of service in the NBA receives a monthly pension payment and access to other benefits (such as life-long healthcare coverage, a college-tuition reimbursement program and more).
. In order to accrue a year of service, a player must be under contract for at least one game during the NBA season (whether they’re active or inactive doesn’t matter).
So you’re wrong. And your story makes no sense.
If this guy can hit three’s he can find a spot. Not impressed with curry and greens lack of volume shooting kills my Sixers when Harris is cold and jojo wants to shoot jumpers all night !
What? Are you serious
Liked him back in his MN days……….Seemed like a good guy.
Former “nonstar” union exec… most are big names… so that is likely so.
Can he teach Dwight how to set a proper screen? Dude is annoying now.
