The Philadelphia 76ers are reportedly making another move just days after the franchise was first reported to be signing Lonnie Walker IV -- now they bring in G League big Alex Reese.
The Sixers held the 11th spot by themselves in the Eastern Conference standings for nearly two months. That changed just before the All-Star Break and their odds to retain their first-round draft pick have improved.
Quentin Grimes was sort of an afterthought in Dallas while Jared Butler was toiling away in D.C. on a two-way contract. Now, they could potentially be a part of an intriguing Sixers guard mix for the future.
If the future of the franchise is to be any brighter than the present, the performance and health of the big names must improve. But there are some silver linings below the larger disappointments.
