The Philadelphia 76ers made their move at the NBA trade deadline. Personally, I thought they were going to keep quiet and keep all of their big men, despite how much of an issue that’s been for them. With only 26 games remaining after the All-Star break and trade deadline, I figured at this point, it didn’t hurt that much to just ride out the rest of the year with all of the big men.
I was surprised, in more ways than one.
First of all, I was surprised to see a trade. Second of all, I was surprised to see Nerlens Noel traded after all of the talk of Jahlil Okafor being the guy to go.
