For cap room after the season. In fact, there is talk that the Sixers will
buy out his contract to solidify the minutes to a few players off the
bench...and save about $300,000 if I remember the report's details.
This trade was not for another outside shooter. The GM knows the Sixers
need to be very flexible to lure a free agent or two. If Giricek doesn't
play another minute, it won't matter. This was done for the express
purpose of off-season maneuvering. I remember reading somewhere that the
two most important things in the NBA were the Rookie caps and expiring
contracts.
