NBA Trade Deadline: Grading how all 30 teams performed at the deadline
Philadelphia 76ers
Key Moves:
- Acquired Tobias Harris, Boban Marjanovic and Mike Scott from the Clippers for Acquired Landry Shamet, Wilson Chandler, Mike Muscala, 2020 first-round pick, 2021 first-round pick (via Miami), 2021 second-round pick and a 2023 second-round pick (per Adrian Wojnarowski).
- Acquired James Ennis for a second-round pick from Houston (per Shams Charania).
- Traded Markelle Fultz to the Magic for Jonathon Simmons, 2020 first-round pick (via Thunder), future second-round pick (per Shams Charania).
Adding James Ennis and Tobias Harris is really great work from the Philadelphia 76ers at the NBA Trade Deadline. They did a great job in adding a fourth “Star” to this current core and getting a first-round pick for Markelle Fultz isn’t terrible.
The good news is that Fultz is no longer hanging over this team’s head, and they are now a legit threat to come out of the Eastern Conference. On paper, they have one of the most talented teams. It’s going to come down to whether they can translate it to on-court success.
The playoffs in the East are going to be insanely good, and the Sixers will be at the forefront of all the madness.
Grade: A
