In the wake of yesterday’s NBA trade deadline, Philadelphia 76ers President of Basketball Operations Daryl Morey spoke to reporters at the team facility earlier today. He discussed the organization’s thinking behind the Matisse Thybulle-for-Jalen McDaniels trade, but also what the team looks to do going forward, meaning in the buyout market. According to those in the know, this year’s buyout market is expected to be robust.
The post-trade deadline NBA buyout/waived player market is going to be deep, folks.

Many folks were surprised the Sixers didn’t bring a new big man into the mix prior to the trade deadline, and the buyout market would be the the next available avenue to address that position.
