The 76ers made some serious noise before the NBA trade deadline, and their new group is now 1-0 after a big win against the Western Conference’s second best team, the Denver Nuggets.
Out goes Markelle Fultz, Landry Shamet, Wilson Chandler, Mike Muscala, and multiple draft assets. In comes Tobias Harris, Mike Scott, Boban Marjanoviu0107, Jonathon Simmons, James Ennis, and a couple draft assets. Whew. Lots of surprises.
Based on the moves the team made, it seems possible that the Sixers felt more desperate than many realized. As maybe they should have. Not because they necessarily needed to win right away.
