Saric is set to complete his Turkish League season Monday and is expected to meet with members of the 76ers' front office in the coming weeks, NBA.com reports.
Widely considered one of the top players in Europe, Saric's long-awaited arrival to the NBA is expected to come in 2016-17, though nothing is official at this point. Still, the organization has expressed optimism over the last few months, and that tone has continued into the offseason. Saric, a likely stretch four in the NBA, would immediately provide a major boost to a franchise whose future could look considerably brighter if it's able to land another young asset or two at the top of the draft. The influx of talent could be enough to convince Saric to officially decide to come over, and president of basketball operations Bryan Colangelo indicated that he'll talk with Saric about the decision soon.
