They've got two big problems - with the cap rising, they're going to be nowhere near the salary floor so they have to spend some money, and no free agents want to go there. A hometown guy at a position of need (OK, they're all positions of need in Philly, but they really struggle with guard play) earning his second NBA contract has a lot of upside. He'd occupy a chunk of the money and help them establish at least some trend of bringing in free agents that aren't washed up. As an aside - if you're going to overpay for a guy, overpay on his second contract. Those are his prime years, he's proven at that point he has at least some place in the NBA, and there's still reason to believe he'll continue to improve. [/QUOTE]
