Sixers Nation

Jameer Nelson heaped praise on VJ Edgecombe, highlighting the rising star's fearless approach and relentless growth throughout a spectacular All-Rookie First Team campaign.

With a productive debut season officially under his belt, the dynamic young guard has laid a massive foundation to shatter his ceiling and launch the franchise into a bright future alongside Tyrese Maxey.

The Philadelphia 76ers need more juice behind their stars.

When the offense stalls and the game gets messy, they need someone who can change the energy in a matter of seconds.

That's where Jose Alvarado enters the conversation.

Alvarado holds a $4.5 million player option for next season, but he's played his way into a bigger payday. More years. More security. Maybe even a larger role.

If he declines that option and hits free agency, Philadelphia should be paying attention.

Alvarado isn't a star. He doesn't need the ball for 35 minutes a night. What he does bring is relentless defense, playmaking, hustle, and the kind of edge that can swing a playoff game. Every contender needs players who make life miserable for opponents.

The question is price.

Would something around 3 years, $24-30 million get it done? That's roughly $8-10 million annually for a proven backup guard who impacts winning on both ends.

For a Sixers team searching for point guard depth, that might be money well spent.

I'll take VJ Edgecombe 100% anytime of the day 😤

The future is bright in Philly 💯
