The Sixers took a stick of dynamite to the back end of their bench on Thursday, trading away Marcus Morris, Furkan Korkmaz (finally!!), Danuel House Jr., fan favorite Patrick Beverley and Jaden Springer along with four second-round picks. In return, they landed longtime #FutureSixer Buddy Hield, Cameron Payne and two second-rounders.
The haul proved to be divisive, particularly with the Sixers in free fall as of late. Regardless of how the rest of the season plays out, though, the Sixers made one thing clear at the deadline: They were prioritizing their offseason flexibility above all else.
