The NBA trade deadline has come and gone, with James Harden now wearing Sixers’ red, white, and blue. Excitement around the team is at an all-time high, as the Sixers are now a legitimate contender in the Eastern Conference. It’s likely that the Harden trade will have a huge factor on the buyout market with the Sixers rocketing up most power rankings.
The Sixers traded three players and only received back two in the Harden deal, leaving an open full-time roster spot for the taking. It’s likely the Sixers will save this spot for a buyout player in the coming weeks/months.
