The Philadelphia 76ers have reportedly signed free agent Montrezl Harrell on a two-year contract worth $5.2 million. Apparently, the Sixers decided to bring Harrell as a strong backup for Joel Embiid. Significantly, Harrell won the NBA Sixth Man of the Year title in 2019-2020 when he was still playing for the Los Angeles Clippers.

This deal also means a reunion between Harrell and the Sixers’ head coach, Doc Rivers. Rivers had previously coached the Clippers from 2013-2020. Harrell will be filling the position of a backup center for Joel Embiid. Incidentally, the spot was previously occupied by the likes of Andre Drummond, Dwight Howard, DeAndre Jordan, and Greg Monroe.

As it turns out, Harrell has played for five different teams since his entry in the league after the 2015 NBA Draft. In fact, he is the only other player to score a minimum of 5000 points off the bench other than Jordan Clarkson.

While the Sixers are convinced that this is a good deal, let’s take a look at some of the fans reactions as well.

According to ESPN, the fact that Harrell and Harden have both played together for the Rockets might have played a part in sealing the deal. After Harrell faced some legal troubles, several teams had shown interest in the player.
