Philadelphia 76ers submit $130 million bid for Golden State Warriors ace Superstar as $35.3 million transfer news…

The Philadelphia 76ers have multiple paths forward this offseason, including a trade.

With Joel Embiid and Tyrese Maxey – who is poised to land a $205 million contract this offseason – as foundational pieces, they can look to build out their depth or add a star.

“If the Philadelphia 76ers don’t land a superstar like LeBron James, Paul George or Jimmy Butler this summer, Dejounte Murray would be a nice consolation prize,” Bleacher Report’s Greg Swartz wrote on June 23. “Letting Murray operate as the lead ball-handler for stretches opens up more off-ball opportunities for Maxey.”

Murray, 27, is coming off a career year for the Hawks, averaging 22.5 points per game. He also averaged 6.4 assists and 5.3 rebounds and shot 36.3% on a career-high 7.1 three-point attempts per game last season.

More importantly in this context, Murray showed what he could do as a lead guard.

Murray averaged 24.8 points and 9.2 assists while shooting with Trae Young out of the lineup for 23 games after finger surgery.

He is beginning a four-year, $114 million contract and carries a $25.2 million cap hit in 2024-25, which would still leave the Sixers with roughly $40 million in cap space to fill out the rest of the roster as they see fit.
