But the Sixers realize Oubre played himself out of a minimum-salary contract. ESPN noted he’s a prime candidate to receive a room mid-level exception for $8 million.

The thing is, Oubre made $24.6 million during his previous two seasons with the Charlotte Hornets. That came after his one-year deal for $14.3 million with the Golden State Warriors. The 15.4 points he averaged this past season are tied for the third-most of his nine-year career. The swingman also proved to be a valuable defender. -via The Philadelphia Inquirer / June 2, 2024
