Kelly Oubre Jr. sits at the center of Sixers offseason chatter as Philadelphia weighs trading him to unlock cap space for Quentin Grimes in restricted free agency. The move would clear room for Grimes while keeping Sixers flexible under Nick Nurse’s rotations.

Oubre has averaged 15.3 PPG and 5.5 RPG across two Philadelphia seasons, but finger injuries and a 29.3% 3-point clip in 2024-25 muted his production. His Instagram response to rumors shows the human side of a business where fan reactions meet hard decisions, and the path forward will shape the Sixers’ wing depth and Grimes’ future.
