Trade Grades
76ers get: Los Angeles Lakers’ 2015 first-rounder via Phoenix (top 5 protected, turns into top 3 protected pick in 2016 if not conveyed)
Bucks get: PG/SG Michael Carter-Williams, PG Tyler Ennis, C/PF Miles Plumlee
Suns get: PG/SG Brandon Knight, PG Kendall Marshall
And Philadelphia continues to trade away their players for draft picks. This one has to cross some sort of line with the fan base though. Carter-Williams, though slightly regressing and still dealing with turning the ball over and inefficient shooting, remains the reigning Rookie of the Year. He’s playing like it too, putting up numbers across the board: 15 points, 7.5 assists, 6 rebounds, 1.5 steals, and 1 three per game. He is certainly worth more than a first-rounder, much less a protected one, as he represents one of the few cornerstones this rebuilding team has moving forward. The lack of value Philadelphia was able to get for Carter-Williams is absolutely shocking. Thank goodness the Sixers made up for this (sort of) by ripping Denver off in the Javale McGee trade.
