Sixers need to waive player to sign James before deadline
Summary

The Philadelphia 76ers must waive a player with a non-guaranteed salary before signing James. They currently have an open roster spot, but bringing James aboard would exceed the $209 million hard cap. Options include waiving Dalen Terry, whose contract is non-guaranteed, or Jabari Walker, who has a $250,000 partial guarantee. Additionally, the Sixers could pursue Bronny James using a trade exception but would still need to waive either Terry or Walker to maintain salary cap compliance.
