The Sixers will sign DeAndre Jordan to be their backup center and waive Willie Cauley-Stein, according to Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN.com.
Jordan, who previously played under coach Doc Rivers in Los Angeles, had been widely expected to sign with Philadelphia since he had been placed on waivers by the Lakers.
Cauley-Stein had been on a 10-day contract with the team.
Tobias Harris Trade Rumors Continue
The Sixers are 3-0 since the James Harden trade, though if we know anything about Daryl Morey as a team architect, it’s that he’s always looking at ways to make improvements to his roster.
One of those ways could be to move Tobias Harris during the offseason and Brian Windhorst of ESPN.com hears that rival executives expect the forward to be available in trade talks. Philadelphia had conversations with several teams—including the Hawks and Kings—about potential trades that would move Harris and create cap room this summer. That was before the Harden deal, though the Sixers may pick things up again with teams as they look to find ways to improve the roster aside from Joel Embiid and Harden.
There have been rumblings that Morey is looking to add a third star and there were rumors that Embiid had wanted to play alongside Bradley Beal.
