Daryl Morey and the Philadelphia 76ers had a busy NBA Trade Deadline, but the four trades the organization made were not all that exciting.
Acquired:
-Buddy Hield
-Cameron Payne
-Two second round picks
Traded:
-Marcus Morris
-Furkan Korkmaz
-Patrick Beverley
-Jaden Springer
-Danuel House
-Four second round picks
The first trade the Sixers made today was acquiring 31-year-old guard Buddy Hield from the Indiana Pacers for Marcus Morris, Furkan Korkmaz, and three second-round picks.
Hield, who makes $18.6 million in 2023-24, is set to become an unrestricted free-agent after the season.
The 31-year-old is averaging 12.0 points while shooting 38.4-percent from three on 6.9 attempts per game. For his career, Hield is a 40.1-percent three point shooter.
And then a little bit later, Philadelphia sent Danuel House and a 2024 second-round pick via the Knicks to free up a roster spot and some cap space for potential buy out candidates like Philly native and former Raptor under Nick Nurse, Kyle Lowry.
The third trade Morey made was the most surprising one, sending Patrick Beverley to the Bucks for a 2027 second-round pick and Cameron Payne.
Payne, 29, is averaging 6.2 points in 14.9 minutes per game this season for the Bucks, shooting 39.7-percent from three on 2.8 attempts per game.
Payne will be an unrestricted free-agent after the season.
Morey also traded 21-year-old Jaden Springer to the Boston Celtics to recoup a second-round pick.
