Dean Wade signs four-year, $39M deal with Sixers
Free agent forward Dean Wade has agreed to a four-year, $39 million deal with the Philadelphia 76ers, sources tell ESPN. Several contenders pursued the former Cavaliers forward, who has become an indispensable defending and shooting frontcourt piece.
Shams Charania Tweets2376ers officials finalized negotiations tonight with Wade’s agents, Adam Papas and Austin Walton of NEXT Sports. Seven years ago, Wade went undrafted out of Kansas State and broke in on a two-way -- before earning a standard deal, then an extension and now a lucrative new free-agent deal.
marcel eggstein5Gute Verpflichtung für die Sixers 👇 nur was bedeutet das für Grimes, Oubre Jr. & Co.? Schwierig!

Josh Vetter31. Was sneaky hoping he'd be a Wolf 2. LeBron retirement tour confirmed
John Gaudes3Scottie Barnes dispensed him pretty good
Brendan Dzwierzynski2Good for the kid from St. John, Kansas, but I never would have guessed an NBA reporter would call him “indispensable” in a million lifetimes.
Sources: Dean Wade and the Philadelphia 76ers have agreed to a four-year, $39 million deal, league sources told HoopsHype. Wade reunites with Mike Gansey after the two spent time together with the Cleveland Cavaliers. Agent Austin Walton finalized the agreement.
Joe6Dean will always be a Cavs lifer, just like his older brother Dwyane.
Martim 🏀2🏀📊LOVE this for Philly. Wade is a fantastic on-ball defender, great at containing ball handlers across positions and with size to provide good help. For someone with such low offensive usage, he's still probably outplaying the ~5.5% of the cap they Sixers will spend on him.
Dean Wade's contract will come out of the Non-Taxpayer MLE for the Philadelphia 76ers. They'll now be hard-capped at the first apron. Sixers have roughly $13.8M in space under the first apron with two open standard roster spots.
KeithSmithNBA4$16.6M under the first-apron hard cap for the Sixers.
marcel eggstein2Erinnert man sich an die Forderungen von Grimes im letzten Sommer, wird ihm das nicht reichen 👇 Gleichzeitig draftete man mit Labaron Philon einen Guard und zog die Option für Dalen Terry. Ergo: Quentin Grimes wird wahrscheinlich woanders unterschreiben.
Dean Wade is a fine role player. But this feels like a move you make when you're closer to contention than the Sixers are. I don't see any upside here. He's about to turn 30. He's pretty injury prone. And for him to be most useful you really need the stars to be healthy.
Avi Wolfman-Arent5I'm also always a little skeptical when a GM beats the market on a role player he has a past connection to. Reminds me a little of the PJ Tucker deal...
Joey Denton2Fine role player getting fine role player money. Fills a need on the court and off the court(tradable salary yay!!). I understand wanting higher upside but this FA class is terrible. Zach Collins just got 17 million
