Franchises only have a few hours left to extend eligible players since contract extensions will need to be signed by Tuesday (6 p.m. US Monday).
Yahoo! Sports thus teaches us that “quick discussions” recently existed between the Sixers and the agent of Matisse ThybulleAaron Goodwin.
If the winger, at the end of the contract in 2023, remains a very discreet player offensively, even too much sometimes, he nevertheless imposed himself in Philadelphia with his great defensive qualities. For the past two seasons, he has been elected to the second All-Defensive Team and therefore believes he deserves this contract extension.
“I was a starter for more than half a season in one of the best teams in the NBA, which had serious title aspirations. I don’t think that should be minimized. So I think I absolutely deserve this extension. […] Now it’s up to me. It’s up to me to show everything I’ve talked about, to show what I’ve been working on.” he had recently explained.
Except that with De’Anthony Melton, PJ Tucker or Danuel House Jr, the Sixers have recruited players capable of defending this summer, but also of being effective at 3-pointers. What make Matisse Thybulle less essential.
