Another trade deadline has come and gone, and this one was quite polarizing for the Philadelphia 76ers. The team acquired Buddy Hield from the Indiana Pacers in exchange for Furkan Korkmaz, Marcus Morris Sr. and three second-round picks.
They dumped Danuel House Jr. for a second-round pick before making some shocking moves. They swung a deal for Cam Payne and a second-rounder for fan favorite Patrick Beverley. They also shipped out 21-year-old Jaden Springer to the Boston Celtics for a second-round pick.
Sixers president of basketball of operations Daryl Morey had the chance to explain the day when he talked to reporters before Friday’s game against the Atlanta Hawks.
