T.J. McConnell had just finished a recent game with the Philadelphia 76ers when he and his father, a few family members and some friends decided to visit an establishment within walking distance of Wells Fargo Center. T.J. was first to the door when a worker announced there was a $10 cover charge, but free admittance with a 76ers ticket stub. "He played," said Tim McConnell, pointing at his son. The worker still wanted $10. "No, you don’t understand. He played in the game," Tim McConnell tried to reason. No matter. It was $10.

Some agents have even called around to other teams, trying to ignite trade talks that would get their players out of Philadelphia, according to several league sources

"No Nugget is averaging 17 or more points per game. Andre Iguodala, their most accomplished player as an All-Star (with the 76ers) and Olympic gold medalist last year, is averaging 13.4 points amid criticism locally that he isn't worth his $15 million salary."

Andrew Bynum – Philadelphia 76ers Sources close to Andrew Bynum say he is beyond thrilled about the situation in Philadelphia. He’ll get the chance to be his own star, be the focal point of the team and remain in the discussion as an All-Star starter. Bynum is in the final year of his deal and, like all of the names on this list, is not signing a contract extension. The 76ers say they are OK with the risk, because they feel they acquired a marquee center that will stay long-term. Unless the wheels completely come off the franchise, a new deal for Bynum is almost assured because those that know him say he will not leave the money on the table to walk away and Philly has been given some level of assurance that Bynum is OK with what this new situation means for him. There has been no "commitments" made, but like Chris Paul and the Clippers, the 76ers understand where they stand with Bynum long-term.
