Should the Sixers trade Amir Johnson?

It seems that Brett Brown is ready to ride (or die) with Amir Johnson as the Philadelphia 76ers‘ primary backup center this season. Whether it’s experience or monetary commitments, the 30-year-old has continued to get minutes over Richaun Holmes despite his noticable gaps in production.

Johnson is clearly the biggest (and strongest) reserve in Philly’s frontcourt depth chart, but he hasn’t done much with that size this season. He looks a step slow defensively and can’t seem to find his role offensively. He’s too grounded in the paint, and hasn’t shown any semblance of a reliable 3-point shot — something many hoped would translate from his tenure in Boston.
