With the postseason on the horizon, most Philadelphia 76ers fans are focused on the short term. Elton Brand and the front office, however, should be willing to make moves that benefit the team long term. Adding Rodney McGruder would qualify.
McGruder was waived Sunday afternoon, allowing Miami to drop below the luxury tax in the event his $1.5 million contract is claimed. The Sixers should help out, adding McGruder to the 15-man roster. There are only two issues: the Sixers have 15 players under contract and McGruder is ineligible for the playoffs.
