The Sixers add a 29-year-old defender and 3-point shooter as they address a thin frontcourt entering free agency.
- On Tuesday, the Philadelphia 76ers agreed to a four-year, $39 million contract with veteran forward Dean Wade, marking a major move as NBA free agency opened.
- New 76ers president of basketball operations Mike Gansey orchestrated the signing, reuniting with Wade from his Cleveland Cavaliers tenure after previously championing the undrafted forward from Kansas State.
- Wade provides defensive versatility and perimeter shooting at forward, averaging 5.8 points while shooting 36.6% from three-point range during his most recent season with the Cavaliers.
- Alongside established stars Joel Embiid and Paul George, Wade bolsters the Sixers' frontcourt as the team builds around Tyrese Maxey and VJ Edgecombe following their second-round playoff exit.
- After spending his entire seven-year NBA career with the Cavaliers, the 29-year-old brings 32 playoff games of experience to Philadelphia, where he is expected to serve as a key rotation player.
