Sixers Create Financial Flexibility By Waiving Trevelin Queen, Charles Bassey And Isaiah Joe

The Philadelphia 76ers entered training camp well over the 15-man regular-season roster limit. Trevelin Queen, Charles Bassey and Isaiah Joe were waived on Sunday and Thursday. The Sixers have more than $5.5 million in wiggle room under the luxury-tax apron. They are not allowed to cross the $156.983 million aron between now and June 30. They have roughly $151.4 million left under it. It could come in handy as they weigh potential roster upgrades during the regular season. There are also salary-matching rules for trades and the hard cap.

Backup Point Guard: A Campaign Strategy for the Bucks

Since it became clear that Milwaukee was losing Jevon Carter and Joe Ingles in free agency over two months ago, there's been a not insignificant amount of handwringing about the team's ballhandling depth behind Jrue Holiday.
