You likely heard that former St. John's forward JaKarr Sampson was waived by the Philadelphia 76ers yesterday. The team traded for Miami center Joel Anthony and a second-round 2017 pick, exchanging the signing rights to an overseas player.
#sixers get Denver's 2017 2nd rd pick along with Joel Anthony. Sending out rights to Chukwudiebere Maduabum. Will need to open roster spot.

More on the mechanics of the trade are here, but the Sixers traded for a player who has to land on their roster.
