What you should know
The Sixers have been busy so far in free agency, adding Paul George and re-signing Tyrese Maxey to max contracts, retaining Kelly Oubre Jr., and also adding Andre Drummond and Eric Gordon.
Daryl Morey and the Sixers are not done, as they still have several choices to make and roster spots to fill. One of their biggest remaining decisions involves Paul Reed.
The Sixers have also lost several players from last season, including Tobias Harris, Nico Batum, and De'Anthony Melton.
While free agency technically began on Sunday night, any of the deals agreed to so far — and in the coming days — won't become official until July 6.

The Sixers now have their Big 3. How does it compare to others?
Has the 76ers’ trio of Joel Embiid, Tyrese Maxey, and Paul George become the NBA’s best big three?
You can make the argument, but three questions need to be answered before a definitive answer can be established. Will Embiid remain healthy? How much has the 34-year-old George declined? And will Maxey continue to raise his ceiling?

Klay Thompson's dad is not happy with his free agency decision
It's one thing when your parents are mad at you. It's another when they're disappointed. And that's the case for new Mavericks guard — and Warriors legend Klay Thompson — who signed a two-year deal with Dallas despite his father's wish that he'd sign with the Lakers.
The decision came down to the Mavs and Lakers, and Mychal Thompson clearly had a horse in the race. Not only did he spend the last five years of his NBA career in Los Angeles, but he's also currently a radio broadcaster for the team. And he said Tuesday that he was "really disappointed" in his son's decision.

Sixers title odds improve after first wave of free agency
The odds markets reacted swiftly to the Paul George and Tyrese Maxey news, sparking a wave of excitement among fans and bettors alike. Before the George signing, the 76ers were priced at +1400 to win the 2025 NBA Championship on BetMGM. However, after the announcement, they made a significant leap to +800.
Philadelphia is priced as low as +700 to win the title next season on SuperBook. This marks the best odds the 76ers have had to win the title since the 1985-86 season when they were +350 with the legendary trio of Moses Malone, Julius Erving and Charles Barkley.
