Philadelphia 76ers waive Carl Landry and Tibor Pleiss, sign Cat Barber - CBSSports.com
The Philadelphia 76ers did a little house cleaning before they could make another addition to their roster. The team announced Wednesday that it waived the contract of nine-year veteran Carl Landry.
Landry was with the team this past season after the Sacramento Kings traded him to the Sixers in the deal that netted Philadelphia Nik Stauskas and Jason Thompson, as well as the Kings' 2018 first-round pick and the right to swap picks in either the 2016 or 2017 drafts. Landry had just one more year left at $6.5 million, which the Sixers will still pay and have on their salary cap as long as a team doesn't claim Landry off waivers. Considering he would likely sign with his next team for around the minimum contract, the 32-year old big man out of Purdue is unlikely to be claimed.
