Philadelphia’s 76ers agree to a four-year contract worth $39 million with veteran forward Dean Wade, according to reports citing a person with knowledge of the deal. The agreement is reached on the first night of NBA free agency, as the team begins making additions during the offseason. Wade, who plays as a forward, is expected to join Philadelphia after spending time in the league following his college career at Kansas State. One report says Wade went undrafted in 2019. Multiple outlets also tie the signing to Philadelphia’s front-office changes, noting it is the first major offseason deal made by new 76ers president of basketball operations Mike Gansey. Gansey previously worked with the Cleveland Cavaliers, including serving as general manager beginning in 2022, and he has been described as having long supported Wade. While the reported terms cover the length and total value of the contract, additional details such as the contract structure or incentives are not included in the provided summaries.
