5. Have Glenn Robinson III opt-in

.Now in his second stint with the 76ers, Glenn Robinson III looks a little more like a required player. For his first five seasons in the NBA Robinson struggled offensively, only averaging over 5.0 points per game once.

While playing for the Golden State Warriors last season, Robinson found a groove and averaged 12.9 points, 4.7 rebounds and 1.8 assists per game. What needs to be considered is that it is one thing to put up good numbers on a bad team. Robinson needed to put up good numbers on a good team.

When he came to Philadelphia along with Burks, Robinson brought some of that groove with him. He averaged 7.7 points and 3.1 rebounds over 14 games.

His shooting from the field was impressive. He hit 3.1 out of his 6.1 shot attempts which is good for 51.8 percent This is his best number for his career and the 76ers will hope he can continue this.

The other really important number for the 76ers is that Robinson is only set to make $2 million next season. They need to have as many small contracts as possible to slot alongside their max-level guys. If the 76ers make these roster moves, this should put them further up the standings next season.
