With a trio of Sixers veterans — Kelly Oubre Jr., Andre Drummond and Eric Gordon — all expected to soon activate the player options in their respective contracts for next season, it looks as though it will be increasingly challenging for Philadelphia to re-sign beloved big man Guerschon Yabusele. The former first-round pick from France, who played last season on a minimum deal, is projected to have a strong market in free agency.
It does appear that the Sixers can go ahead and plan on veterans Kelly Oubre Jr., Andre Drummond and Eric Gordon all returning next season. League sources say all three exercising their player options to return is Philadelphia's expectation and Morey suggested the same during his aforementioned podcast appearance.
