The trade deadline came and went and the Sixers didn’t do much.
They traded Matisse Thybulle to Portland and a 2023 second-round pick to Charlotte. They acquired Hornets’ forward Jalen McDaniels and a pair of second-round picks (Portland’s 2029, the Knicks’ 2024 (via Portland)).
The trade does accomplish a few goals. The team gets a more balanced forward in McDaniels (though his shooting numbers this season aren’t super encouraging). McDaniels is also roughly four inches taller than Thybulle, giving him a better chance of contending with bigger wings. Recouping an extra second-rounder could be helpful in the future .
