While many of his new Philadelphia 76ers teammates arrived via 10-day contracts or hardship exceptions, Jared Butler joined the Sixers with a draft capital sunk cost behind his acquisition. Prior to the trade deadline in February, Daryl Morey sent Reggie Jackson and a 2026 first-round pick (least favorable between the Clippers, Thunder, and Rockets) to Washington in exchange for Butler and four future second-round picks. Butler’s season-high 26 points against the Sixers in early January, when he was far and away the best player on the floor for the Wizards, surely was a factor in bringing him into the fold.
