Sixers sign ex-Celtic James Young, waive Jacob Pullen | What it means

For Jacob Pullen, his journey to the Sixers was an interesting one. After a productive career at Kansas State, Pullen went undrafted in 2011 and spent his first five years post-college playing professionally overseas.

As a 28-year-old, and technically a rookie, Pullen made his debut this season for the Sixers after signing a two-way contract in October.

James Young, a former first round pick of the Celtics, has taken a much different path to Philadelphia.

Thursday, their paths collided -- the Sixers waived Pullen and then, reportedly, turned around and signed Young to the two-way contract in his place.
