Dean Wade struggles in Sixers' early games after $38M contract

Dean Wade has had a challenging start with the Philadelphia 76ers, struggling to score in early games after signing a four-year, $38.7 million contract. Wade has yet to find his offensive rhythm, averaging 3.6 points and 3.0 rebounds per game, including a game against the New York Knicks where he did not attempt a shot in 27 minutes. The situation resembles the previous experience with P.J. Tucker, who faced similar scoring issues during his time with the team. Wade's performance is crucial for the Sixers as they look for contributions from him beyond defense and passing.
