The Philadelphia 76ers are in a downward spiral that they didn’t know how to break from. They needed depth, they needed shooting and they needed help molding their championship-caliber team together. That’s where the Golden State Warriors come in.
The Warriors were sellers at the NBA’s February 6 trade deadline. They auctioned off six players with the combination of Willie Cauley-Stein, Glenn Robinson III and Alec Burks returning four second-round picks.
On top of those three, Omari Spellman, Jacob Evans III, and D’Angelo Russell all found themselves bundled in a trade that sent them to Minnesota. The Warriors secured a top-three 2021 protected first-round pick, another second-round pick and forward Andrew Wiggins.
