The Philadelphia 76ers agreed to a six-year contract late Saturday with restricted free agent center Samuel Dalembert, his agent Marc Cornstein told SI.com. Salary figures were not immediately available.

Dalembert had been scheduled to interview Monday with the Atlanta Hawks, who possessed enough cap space to make him a maximum offer.

With this agreement, the 76ers have made good on their promise to re-sign free agents Dalembert, Willie Green and Kyle Korver. They also now have one of the highest payrolls in the NBA.

Congratulations Billy King, San Antonio Let go of Stephen Jackson and defeated the dragon, the Pistons, now we keep samuel dalembert, and I doubt really doubt it'll help in the long run.

How would it not help in the long run? The Spurs didn't keep Stephen Jackson because they had players that coule replace him like Ginobili and I believe that year they won a championship. We on the other hand haven't won anything and we need any kind of help we can find, Sammy is part of the help we will need to compete.

That's good to hear, hopefully the deal isn't too crazy. Now that we've locked up our three guys, hopefully we can try to pull off a trade or two.

That is true however, a six year deal? This could mean a higher payroll then needed, in turn this could also mean that the off-season will get less and less signficant.

In turn that could also mean that the chances of winning a championship will get LESS and LESS

Anyone know how much he will be making?

More than Gadzuric, which was a 6 yr, 36 mil deal. No details have been released yet.

Sixerfanforlife · 07-24-2005, 11:29 AM

Gadzuric was worth no 36 million dollars, so if anyone believes Dalembert got more then him is going to be sorry.

We don't need to pay this guy 36 million a year, 8 or 10 million, I'm fine with that the price isn't that high.

But come on now 36 million? I seriously doubt he's worth that price or higher.

Having that been said I just hope to god that Dalembert hasn't been offered, anything more or less then 20 million.

Um, 36 million divided by 6 equals 6 million a year..

Dalembert should clear that in his new contract since he has "potential" and thats what the market pays for in the NBA.

Really if it was up to San Antonio, Stephen Jackson would've stayed there, but when they offered him a contract he thought it was too low so he turned them down. I'm pretty sure he ended up playing for less money the following season in Atlanta, than what the Spurs initially offered.

I'm really anticipating seeing the numbers of this contract.

The Philadelphia Inquirer is reporting a little more than $50 million over 6 years. Sounds like a good deal, considering that Kwame Brown is supposed to resign for about $8 million too. That's if the $50 million for Dalembert is true. I like the deal, it solidifies our center position as long as Dalembert keeps up the effort.

**Fordy74** · 07-24-2005, 02:22 PM

I dont think you have seen the best of Sammy yet. He is still going to improve. He is one of the most athletic big men in the league. I believe Isiah was after him a bit, but not at that money and not after we got Jerome James signed to a long deal. Good luck with this move, I always look forward to the Sixers sporting a good squad.

If that's what the deal is, I won't complain about King for two months.

Philadelphia Inquirer reported that the deal is worth over $50 million. That could mean $51 million or that could mean $68 million.
