Philadelphia 76ers match the Utah Jazz's offer sheet for restricted free agent Paul Reed, signing him to a three-year, $24 million contract.

The unique three-year, $23 million contract offered by the Jazz includes a guarantee for the first year and becomes fully guaranteed for the next two years if the Sixers reach the conference semifinals.

The Philadelphia 76ers may lose key player Paul Reed as he has signed a 3-year, $23 million offer sheet with the Utah Jazz. The contract stipulates that the first season is fully guaranteed, and the following two become guaranteed for $15.7 million if Reed's team reaches the conference semifinals in the 2023-24 season.

The deadline for the Sixers to match the offer is tomorrow.
Former Celtics executive Danny Ainge has put pressure on the Philadelphia 76ers by orchestrating a unique offer sheet for restricted free agent Paul Reed. The Utah Jazz signed Reed to a three-year, $3 million offer sheet with provisions that only guarantee the following two seasons if the team advances in the Conference Semifinals. This puts the 76ers in a difficult position as they are expected to advance further in the playoffs, potentially locking in a costly contract for a backup center. Additionally, if the 76ers match the offer, they would face significant luxury tax penalties. Ainge and the Jazz are making life tough for Philadelphia with this deal.
