Sam Hinkie made another one of his trademark trades.
The 76ers general manager acquired a player with upside and received a future draft pick in exchange for taking on salary dumps and surrendering assets.
Wednesday night's trading partner was the Sacramento Kings, and the Sixers acquired Nik Stauskas, the shooting guard they coveted in the 2014 draft.
In addition, they also picked up power forwards Carl Landry and Jason Thompson, a 2018 protected top-10 draft pick, and the right to swap first-round picks in 2016 and 2017.
Sacramento received the rights to two of the Sixers' second-round picks - Arturas Gudaitis (47th) and Luka Mitrovic (60th) - in last week's draft.
