Report: Sixers trade for James Ennis

No one can say Elton Brand sat on his hands this trade deadline season. Following the huge deal centered around ex-Clippers forward Tobias Harris, and a minor move involving Malachi Richardson, the Sixers have swung another trade, acquiring 6-foor-7 wing James Ennis from Houston.

The acquisition cost for Ennis appears to be very minimal.
