The Philadelphia 76ers made a trade on draft night back on Nov. 18 to send Al Horford to the Oklahoma City Thunder in exchange for Danny Green and Terrance Ferguson. The trade had just now become official on Tuesday with 15 days to go until opening night.
The deal took a while to become official due to Green’s contract not being able to be aggregated. The Thunder acquired him from the Los Angeles Lakers in a trade before sending him to Philadelphia so there was a lot of waiting for things to be complete.
With the trade now official, president Daryl Morey can do his customary welcome tweet to Green as he has been doing with all of the new additions.

Along with Green, Morey gave a welcome to Ferguson as well. He included some highlights of his play in the tweet as well.

Along with Green and Ferguson, the Sixers are also acquiring Vincent Poirier in the deal. Oklahoma City acquired him from the Boston Celtics in another draft night deal.

Now that Green, Ferguson, and Poirier are officially on the team, the challenge now is to get them up to speed on things before the season tips off on Dec. 23 against the Washington Wizards. [lawrence-related id=39969,39966,39962]
