The Sixers have waived veteran big man Anthony Tolliver, the team announced on Friday (Twitter link). Tolliver’s $2.69MM contract would’ve become fully guaranteed if he wasn’t released today.
The move opens up a roster spot for Philadelphia, which now has 15 players officially under contract (14 on standard contracts and one on a two-way). The team will also sign Grant Riller to a two-way contract and Haywood Highsmith to an Exhibit 10 deal, leaving three spots available on the 20-man offseason roster.
In addition, Philadelphia has yet to sign second-round draft pick Charles Bassey, who was selected No. 53 overall by the team last month.
Assuming he clears waivers on Sunday, Tolliver will reach free agency after concluding his 13th NBA season. The 36-year-old signed two ten-day contracts and a rest-of-season deal with the Sixers in 2020/21, appearing in a total of nine contests.
Which former 76ers 2guard was the best during their time in Philly, Hersey Hawkins, Evan Turner, Jerry Stackhouse, Andrew Toney or JJ Redick? Rank if possible…
The easy answer is the Boston Strangler…if your from Philly you know this is the only answer.
That is correct sir.
Hawkins, Stackhouse, Turner, Redick, Toney
You have Toney 5th lol…that’s all I need to know…FAIL!!!!
bro Toney was a baller lol. I ranked without looking at his stats switch him and Turner around
Toney
(Large Gap)
Redick
(Gap)
Hawkins/Stackhouse
Turner
Large gap bw JJ & HH???
Stack, Toney , Hawkins , redick , Turner
None of those guys seemed to last as long as they should have in PHL.
Toney looked unstoppable at times, heightened by the team being contenders.
Contender? That is a strange way to spell champion
Toney had a foot injury which took away any prime years
#1 Stack
The rest who cares, just dross & inconsequential players!
Hawkins probably the best
TONEY, AND ITS NOW CLOSE
Hoping Bassey signs for a 2 way contract.
Bassey is gonna be a BEAST. I get the feeling he’s not a priority for Philly tho. Letting him go would be a large mistake fr
With so little he played the last couple of season hard to believe he still was keeping a space on the roster.
He’s good at catching on someplace else. FOs think, we could have used him, maybe we would next year. Cavs should have ’18. Coulda woulda shoulda
I think this paves the way to sign Millsap or Reddick
