The Philadelphia 76ers are not done dealing. After acquiring Buddy Hield from the Indiana Pacers and sending Danuel House Jr. to the Detroit Pistons, the Sixers have made a deal with the Milwaukee Bucks.
The Sixers sent veteran Patrick Beverley to the Bucks for Cam Payne and a 2027 second-round pick. Beverley was signed as a free agent in the offseason and averaged 6.3 points, 3.1 rebounds, and 3.1 assists for the Sixers off the bench. Payne is averaging 6.2 points and shooting 39.7% from deep for the Bucks.
Beverley did many good things for the Sixers, but he reunites with Doc Rivers, who was his coach with the Los Angeles Clippers.

Payne will take over the backup ballhandler’s role for Philadelphia. He’s reliable, and he can knock down an open look from deep. This is another solid move by the Sixers.
