Regardless of if Andrei Kirilenko plays a single second for
the Sixers this season, the trade the team made to acquire him from Brooklyn
was a smart move.
For Brooklyn the move was all about shedding salary. The
Nets are desperately trying to trade away some salary and potentially gain back
some assets, as the franchise’s immediate future looks bleak at this point.
Kirilenko, 33, is in the final year of a $3.3 million contract, and the Nets
save close to $12 million in luxury tax by unloading him.
In return, the SIxers also received Jorge Guitterez, a 2020
second round pick, cash considerations, and the right to swap 2018 second-round
picks. That is a pretty sizable haul, and all it cost the Sixers was a
fringe-NBA player in Brandon Davies.
With their abundance of salary cap space and no immediate
intention to contend, these are exactly the kind of moves that the Sixers
should be making this season.

While the haul coming back along with Kirilenko may not seem
ground-breaking, and some are opposed to the concept of paying a player to essentially
not play, such deals are a smart way for the Sixers to use some salary space in
the present while continuing to fortify themselves for the future.
The Sixers have the most salary cap space in the league, and
in essence are just sitting on it. Said space will be invaluable when the team
is ready to sign some players to help their climb back to contention; now is
just not that time for the team. Instead of not using this year’s salary space
and eventually distributing it among the remaining roster players, the team could
continue to take on a couple unattractive contracts with some assets attached.
As the season progresses, teams making that playoff push
will want to make moves and sign players, and in turn may be looking to unload
an unwanted contract. In order to compete in the present, such teams would be
willing to part with picks or other assets, and as long as those contracts don’t
have multi-year qualifiers, the Sixers can capitalize. The team can acquire a
plethora of future picks and cash considerations this way without altering the
season’s on-court product.
K.J. McDaniels, who is quickly demonstrating that he could
be a big part of the franchise’s future, was a second-round pick. They can be
very valuable. And Kirilenko’s contract was only a $3.1 million hit for the
Sixers; taking on an even larger contract could net them even more.
Regardless of if Kirilenko is immediately waived, or plays
for a while and is then dealt at the deadline, the move had little to do with
his services for the Sixers. Instead, it had everything to do with wise
utilization of the Sixers’ ample cap space and continuing to stockpile picks
for the franchise’s future.
As the season winds on, the Sixers’ ample salary cap space
will look increasing appealing to teams looking to make that playoff push. The Kirilenko
deal is not likely the last time we will see Sam Hinkie make a move involving
acquiring someone who might not suit up for the Sixers.
