Philadelphia Sixers' contract spending this season has been roughly in line with what the market dictates — no major steals, but no egregious overpays either. Across 8 contracts, 1 grade out as good value and 1 look like overpays based on comparable deals around the league. The best bang-for-the-buck deal was Dalen Terry (A-) at $0.6M/yr. The priciest commitment relative to production was Tyrese Martin (D) — the forward market may have been richer than the on-court return suggests. The spending approach is neither aggressive nor conservative — a wait-and-see approach from a cap perspective.

Daryl Morey has put together a solid set of 2025-26 moves for the Philadelphia Sixers, with more well-received decisions than misses. Of 10 graded moves, 1 landed well with the fanbase, 3 drew mixed reactions, and 6 were viewed negatively. The standout move was bringing in Jabari Walker (A), which generated the most positive buzz. The most questioned decision was the Cameron Payne signing (F), which drew the sharpest criticism. Patience is wearing thin. The front office needs early-season results to justify the approach.
