ANALYSIS
The Sixers had an abundance of big men on the roster heading into training camp, so ridding themselves of Landry, who was projected to be a bench player, was a necessarily evil in order to create flexibility elsewhere. The veteran forward is due $6.75 million for the upcoming season, meaning that only the Nets, Suns, Timberwolves, Nuggets, Jazz and Cavaliers would have cap room to potentially put a claim in. It seems more likely than not that any interested suitors would allow Landry to become a free agent, when he could probably be signed for the veteran's minimum. Landry missed more than half of last season with wrist and back injuries, but was productive in a reserve role for the 76ers, averaging 9.8 points and 4.1 rebounds in 15.8 minutes per game.
