76ers get: C Joel Anthony, 2017 second-rounder
Rockets get: Rights to Chukwudiebere Maduabum
Translation: Rockets dump Joel Anthony's $2.5 million contract on 76ers, and give them a second-rounder in exchange for taking on the money. Classic GM Sam Hinkie move. I'm not going to get into the debate about whether or not the 76ers are heading in the right direction or not, but for the direction they are heading in (which is south, for sure), this was an excellent move. As Philly had no use for the cap space eaten up by Anthony anyways, they essentially got a free second-rounder here. Can't penalize 'em for that.
