The 2024 NBA Trade Deadline was originally confusing to some Sixers fans, but makes more sense now.
With Kyle Lowry, Cam Payne, and a second—round pick now added, with Ricky Council IV making the most of his newfound opportunities, even the surprising Pat Beverley and Jaden Springer trades make sense today.
One gets the sense that Lowry may not have been as eager to choose his native Philadelphia as a place to perhaps finish up his stellar career if the 37-year old didn’t have some optimism Joel Embiid could be back in that lineup for the stretch run.
