On Wednesday, the Philadelphia 76ers decided to cut Hollis Thompson. The move went down with very little fanfare --the Sixers press release on the transaction totaled just 83 words, little acknowledgement for a player who surprisingly meant so much to an organization that had so little.
Thompson was the last remaining piece on the current Sixers roster that played during the inaugural rebuild year of 2013-14. He’s seen countless bodies walk in and out of the door of PCOM. From Thaddeus Young to Michael Carter-Williams to Brandon Davies to Tony Wroten to Darius Johnson-Odom to Malcolm Thomas, he outlasted them all.
