23.6% of the Story: Why the 76ers Might Lose Their French Freak in Free Agency

23.6% of the Story: Why the 76ers Might Lose Their French Freak in Free Agency

The Numbers Don’t Lie

Last season, Galleron Abubakar played 70 games—every single one. That’s not just durability; that’s commitment. He averaged 11.0 points, 5.6 rebounds, and 2.1 assists on a scorching 50.1% shooting from the floor—and yes, he hit nearly four out of ten threes at a 38% clip.

That kind of efficiency? In today’s game? It’s rare. And for a guy on a minimum contract? It makes him look like pure value.

Cap Chaos in Philly

Let’s talk about the elephant in the room: Philadelphia is walking a tightrope with their cap space.

They’re already deep into second-tier luxury tax territory—maybe even past it—with plans to keep Joel Embiid, Paul George, and Tyrese Maxey together this summer.

And guess who else is about to lock in next year? Kelly Oubre Jr., Andre Drummond, and Eric Gordon are all expected to pick up their player options.

That leaves little room—and zero margin—for error when it comes to re-signing someone like Abubakar.

His Market Is Hotter Than You Think

Now here’s where it gets spicy: Abubakar isn’t just good—he’s wanted. Even though he was drafted in the first round back in ’14 (yes, that long ago), his role has evolved into something more than just depth.

He fits modern spacing needs better than most big men who can stretch the floor without sacrificing defense or rebounding.

His mix of versatility, floor spacing, and low-cost production makes him a steal—or at least an upgrade—for any team trying to build around stars without blowing up their cap sheet.

The Real Story Behind the Trade Rumors (There Are None)

Funny thing about rumors: sometimes silence speaks louder than noise.

No major trade chatter involving Abubakar has surfaced—not from Boston, not from Miami, not even from Dallas or Sacramento.

Why? Because he doesn’t need trading—he needs signing. And that means he’ll likely become one of those quiet free-agent success stories we hear about months later when he signs with someone mid-season… then explodes on offense while helping them make runs in April.

It’s almost poetic: a guy whose value soared quietly while others chased headlines.

The irony? He might leave Philly not because they didn’t want him—but because they did want too much from everyone else first.

23.6% of the Story?

Let’s be real: Abubakar isn’t just part of the story—he’s the underdog poet who writes it in silence.

70 games. 50% shooting. On a minimum contract? That’s not value—that’s theft from the salary cap.

Philly’s juggling stars like circus balls while this French Freak quietly becomes NBA royalty.

No trade rumors? Of course not—why trade someone who makes your offense look like jazz music?

He’ll sign mid-season somewhere, explode, and we’ll all be like: “Wait… wasn’t he on Philly?”

You know what they say: The best deals aren’t loud—they’re just really good.

Who’s ready to see him drop 30 on Boston next year? Comment below! 🏀🔥

23.6%? More Like 23.6% of the Plot!

Let’s be real: this isn’t just a player—he’s a story arc. Galleron Abubakar played every game last season, shot lights out, and somehow stayed under the radar like he’s in a stealth mode version of NBA life.

Philly’s cap chaos? More like cap comedy gold. They’re juggling Embiid, George, Maxey… and now they’re wondering if they can afford one more guy who doesn’t cost $40M?

Spoiler: He’ll be signed by someone mid-season, drop 25 on Portland in April, and we’ll all go ‘Wait… who was that?’

The irony? He might leave not because Philly didn’t want him—but because they wanted everyone else too much.

So yeah… 23.6% of the story? Nah—it’s all the story.

You heard it here first: watch for the quiet French freak explosion next spring.

Who’s drafting him? Comment below—let’s start the fantasy draft wars! 🏀🔥

¿Abubakar se va?

¡El 76ers está jugando al ajedrez con el salario de un jugador! 🤯

Con el cap space tan apretado como una camiseta de tamaño XS… ¿cómo van a retener al French Freak que rinde más que un café en Madrid?

¡Y no es solo él! El 23.6% de valor en el campo y el 100% en los porcentajes… ¡pero su contrato sigue siendo mínimo!

¿Rumores? Ninguno. ¿Por qué? Porque no hay necesidad de intercambiarlo… solo de firmarlo.

¡El silencio es oro… pero también puede ser una despedida!

¿Qué harían ustedes si fueran Philly? ¿Lo mantienen o lo venden por futuro?

¡Comenten antes de que Abubakar firme con un equipo que sí entiende la lógica del baloncesto real! 🏀🔥

El valor silencioso

Abubakar no necesita rumores… solo un contrato digno.

¿Cap chaos o corazón?

Philadelphia quiere mantener a todos los estrellas… pero olvidó al que más juega.

Su mercado está caliente

¿Un gigante francés en el free agency? Sí, y no es por su nombre: es por sus números.

¿Quién lo va a fichar? Alguien con cerebro… y sin miedo al cap space.

¡Comenta! ¿Qué equipo debería hacer la locura de firmarlo?

So they didn’t re-sign Abubakar… because he’s wanted? Nah—they just can’t afford his floor spacing without sacrificing their cap sheet. The real tragedy? He’s not a player anymore—he’s a sonnet written in Excel format. Meanwhile, Philly’s front office is whispering: ‘We tried to keep him… but our budget cried.’ If you’ve ever stared at a 38% clip and thought, ‘Is this math—or poetry?’ Drop a like in the comments if you’d rather be his free-agent therapist.
