Kelly Oubre signs deal with Philadelphia
Adrian Wojnarowski: Free agent G/F Kelly Oubre Jr., is expected to sign a one-year deal with the Philadelphia 76ers, sources tell ESPN. Oubre — who averaged 20 points for Charlotte last season — could get significant opportunity on the wing with the uncertainty around James Harden.

Kelly Oubre Jr. will walk into training camp as the Sixers’ most prolific bench scorer since Lou Williams, assuming he comes off the bench. A bargain deal that, if it clicks, has high upside for both the team and the player:

Kelly Oubre Jr. is reportedly going to sign with the Philadelphia 76ers. It’s a low-risk, steal of a deal at the veteran minimum.

Kelly Oubre Jr going into mid-September unsigned, and eventually signing for the minimum, after coming off of a 20 point per game season, is incontrovertible proof that the analytics debate is settled in the NBA. – 8:05 PM

Will a low-risk bet on Kelly Oubre Jr. pay off, or will the Sixers end up being another team hoping for a version of the vet wing that never comes?

Kelly Oubre for $12 million is bad and Kelly Oubre for $2 million is good. Pretty straightforward. – 7:19 PM

At the veteran minimum (per @DerekBodnerNBA) for a player with 8 years of services, Kelly Oubre Jr. is due less than $3 million.
The Sixers pay $2,019,706. League covers the rest. Wildly team-friendly deal for a 27-year-old coming off a 20 and 5 season. Tremendous fit. – 7:18 PM

27-year-old wing who’s certainly capable of adding significant scoring off the bench. – 6:57 PM
