On July 1, Beijing time, according to a report by ESPN's Woj, the 28-year-old swingman Oubre signed a two-year, $16.3 million contract extension to stay with the 76ers, of which the second year is a player option, and will continue to assist Embiid in the new season to impact the championship. According to salary expert Marks, the 76ers are expected to use the space to sign Oubre with a mid-class exception after running out of salary space.
As the No. 15 pick in the first round in 2015, Oubre has played nine seasons in the NBA, playing for the Wizards, Suns, Warriors, Hornets and 76ers. In 68 games for the 76ers last season, he started 52 games and averaged 15.4 points, 5 rebounds, 1.5 assists and 1.1 steals in 30.2 minutes per game.
As for the playoffs, Oubre started all 6 games, averaging 13.2 points, 4 rebounds, 1.7 assists and 1.8 steals in 37.3 minutes per game.
Although the 76ers lost 2-4 to the Knicks in this year's playoffs and were eliminated in the first round, Oubre has a strong endorsement of coach Nas. Oubre said of the manager, Nas: "He's the best coach I've ever played for, there's no doubt he's very shrewd and he's passionate in coaching, so I can accept that, he's very me. ”
The 76ers are struggling this offseason, especially now on track to pursue George with a four-year, $212 million salary cap. The 76ers are expected to be the favorites to win the Eastern Conference in the new season, and Oubre's return is also extremely important for the team.
