NBA free agency commenced over one month ago and the Philadelphia 76ers still don’t have a safe bet at power forward. While the top unrestricted free agents are off the market, a few unsigned fours were remaining that could help the 76ers. That was until the Boston Celtics made a flurry of moves that took the best available power forward off the market.
This afternoon, Shams Charania of ESPN reported that Boston is trading Georges Niang and two future second-round picks to the Utah Jazz for R.J. Luis Jr. Even before Niang was dealt, Boston’s power forward depth looked shakier than Philadelphia’s.
