NEW ORLEANS - The 76ers received another coveted second-round pick. Other than that, their participation leading up to Thursday's NBA trade deadline was mostly uneventful.
The Sixers acquired center Joel Anthony and a future second-round pick while being involved in a three-team deal with the Houston Rockets and Detroit Pistons. The 2017 second-round pick comes from the Denver Nuggets.
In exchange for the former Detroit Pistons reserve center, the Sixers sent the rights of overseas player Chu Maduabum to the Houston Rockets. The Rockets also received a protected first-round pick from the Pistons. Detroit, meanwhile, received Donatas Motiejunas and Marcus Thornton from Houston.
