With so much money invest in their star trio, the Philadelphia 76ers are a team that needs to operate well in the margins. Based on what they've seen from one young player thus far, they might have stumbled upon a rotation piece at a very team-friendly price.

The Sixers sent Caleb Martin to the Dallas Mavericks in exchange for Quentin Grimes before then making another move to send Reggie Jackson to the Washington Wizards in a deal that netted them Jared Butler who was on a two-way deal. The Sixers then converted Butler to a 2-year standard contract.

76ers' trade deadline doesn't signal a legitimate playoff push in 2025, nor any urgency to fix the problems. The days of The Process are long gone. Nothing looks familiar with the Philadelphia 76ers franchise, and it has continued to get worse before it gets better.
