Philadelphia 76ers begin negotiations with free agents after Knicks title win

With the New York Knicks winning their first championship since 1973, the Philadelphia 76ers can now begin negotiations with their own free agents. The Knicks' title win marks the end of the 2025-26 NBA season, allowing teams to focus on offseason moves. The Sixers aim to build a title-contending roster, with four players — Kelly Oubre Jr., Quentin Grimes, Andre Drummond, and Kyle Lowry — eligible for negotiation. The team will need to decide on team options for Dominick Barlow, Trendon Watford, and Dalen Terry before June 29. They will have the non-taxpayer midlevel exception available, providing additional resources for roster enhancements.
