Useful player in a collective, De’Anthony Melton had a good season with the Sixers, averaging 10.1 points, 4.1 rebounds and 1.6 steals. He even started 58 times.
Nevertheless, his final year of contract ($8 million) was only guaranteed to be $1.5 million, making him an ideal candidate to be cut. But no surprise, we learn the inquirerthe rear has been retained by the Philadelphia franchise for the 2023/2024 fiscal year.
As James Harden requested his transfer, the Sixers had every interest in keeping De’Anthony Melton, in addition to making Tyrese Maxey untouchable and signing Patrick Beverley. The former Memphis player, who is a good defender, can still provide valuable services and this will be one more weapon for Nick Nurse.
